Fade to Sue's castle, laboratory. Sue is dipping an apple dangling by a string into a cauldron.

Sue: Dip the apple in the brew. Let the Sleeping Death seep through. (After the apple is covered in the brew, she fishes it out and a skull forms on it, signifying its now-tainted state) Look, on the skin! The symbol at what lies within. Now turn red to tempt Kurt to make his hunger for a bite. HAVE A BITE!! (The waves hit the raven; he gets up and gasps at what he sees in front of him) It's not for you. It's for Kurt. If he breaks the tender peel to taste the apple in my hand, his breath will silence, his blood congeal. Then I'll be fairest in the land! (cackles triumphantly) But wait! There may be an antidote. Nothing must be overlooked. (she leafs through her spell book again and finds out there is, on page 33, an antidote) Oh! Here it is! (reading) "The victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love's First Kiss." "Love's First Kiss." Bah! No fear of that. The Dwarfs will think he's dead. He'll be buried alive! (cackles) Buried alive! (Sue cackles once more as she heads out of the castle lab and into the dungeon. There, in a cell before her, is the skeleton of a dead prisoner reaching for a pitcher) (to the skeleton) Thirsty? (chuckles and kicks the pitcher towards the skeleton) Have a drink!

The skeleton falls apart, and a spider crawls out of the pitcher, revealed to be empty. Then Sue gets in a boat and rows out of the castle and into a fog. Then the evil witch trudges through the high grass toward the Dwarfs' cottage, eager to carry out the plan that will mean the entire demise of the unaware prince.
