Episode 2 Plot: Leo provides Arte money to repair her shed. However, while carrying materials home, she trips on her dress and is helped by a sculptor apprentice named Angelo Parker. Arte refuses to be thought of as helpless and ties up her dress for easier movement. She then repairs her shed. Confused, Angelo returns home to his five sisters who rely on him for most of the housework. Angelo's master, Danilo, rejects Arte's request to sketch his newest sculptor due to being a woman. Angelo offers to sneak Arte in the workshop, but Arte insists on convincing Danilo herself. Annoyed, Danilo tells Arte she can see the sculpture if she moves ten bags of clay. Determined, Arte figures out a way to carry them. Impressed, Danilo lets her sketch the sculpture, only to realize Arte strained her fingers and cannot grip her pencil. Angelo asks Arte to consider becoming Danilo's apprentice with allowances made for being a woman, but Arte refuses. Impressed by her effort, Angelo tells his sisters to try doing chores themselves before asking him. Leo is impressed by the new damage to Arte's fingers, proving she has worked hard.
