Beats to cover this chapter:

Half Beat (2nd half) - 8. What’s That?: In this part of the story, the hero encounters physical temptations that challenge their focus on the quest. They need to resist these temptations to earn a bigger reward later on, and they'll face a few until they figure it out. After a strong connection, the love interests start to feel uncertain and let their fears creep back in, which complicates things for them.

Full Beat - 9. It Was Me All Along: MC1 must face something dark or threatening — this could be an external force or an internal struggle with their own darker impulses. It’s all about confronting fears and insecurities; only by facing these challenges can the hero truly progress. Things get rocky for your main characters with misunderstandings keeping them apart, which is a prime opportunity to dig into their insecurities and show how they can eventually overcome these hurdles to find love. Exploit the reasons they had for not falling in love in beats 2 and 3 here.
