On Thursday, the exhibition sees a large turnout, including media attention on Jane’s painting. When Fair Day is revealed, Peter tells Gamache that the piece seems changed somehow. As various people identify themselves and others in the painting, Clara concludes that it was intended as a tribute to Timmer. Eager to contradict her, Nichol points to a blond woman in the midst of the painting and asks why Jane would include Yolande in a tribute to Jane. Frustrated at her rudeness, Gamache tells Nichol to take the morning train to Montreal. In her mind, Nichol blames Gamache for her dismissal.

An hour later, guests arrive at Jane’s home for the party and look for themselves on the walls. Clara finds Jane’s depiction of her looking out of a rosebush, while Peter appears in the shadow of Ben, who is shown looking at his mother’s home. At Gamache’s request, the curator of the exhibit displays Fair Day in Jane’s living room alongside her other art. Clara realizes that the blond woman Nichol pointed out isn’t Yolande, whose depiction on the wall differs. Looking closely, she explains to the group that someone must have modified Fair Day between the time it was judged and the time Gamache saw it on Thanksgiving Monday, painting the blond face in place of the face that was there before.
