Ophelia finally manages to eat before level six begins, though the dining room is tense and the remaining contestants all look exhausted. A new Devil, Phoebe, welcomes the seven survivors to level six, Deceit, and sends them through a portal. Inside, the contestants find themselves seated around a round table with wrist shackles, answer buttons, a black pool in the center, and blood channels ending in small spikes. Ophelia immediately realizes this trial still reflects the advantages and disadvantages from level four: Luci and Charlotte have a one-time skip, Beau is stuck with a random option, and Ophelia is grateful she neutralized her own handicap.

When Ophelia’s pillar lowers first, she pricks her thumb and the black liquid reveals her statement: Ophelia Grimm kissed a Devil. Cade immediately weaponizes the confession by insulting her, but Ophelia confirms the statement is true before Luci can answer incorrectly. Everyone presses true, and Ophelia’s pillar rises, proving the group can survive if they identify each statement correctly. Leon then suggests they cooperate, though Ophelia remains wary because Cade has every reason to sabotage them.

Baker goes next, and his statement claims Baker Broussard is colorblind. Baker initially denies it, but Leon tests him by asking the colors of Ophelia’s and Luci’s dresses. Baker misidentifies Luci’s yellow dress, and Leon connects that mistake to a previous dinner conversation and Baker’s recent head injury. Baker realizes he likely developed yellow-blue colorblindness after falling from a ladder, so the group answers true and survives. Charlotte’s turn is more uncertain: her statement says Charlotte Williams is a twin, but Charlotte says she does not know of any siblings. Luci and Charlotte spend their one-time skips, and Ophelia uses the warmth of her locket to decide on true; the others follow, while Beau’s random choice also lands on true.

Cade’s statement escalates the danger: Cade Arceneaux killed his sister’s husband. Luci explains that her husband died in a motorcar crash and says with certainty that Cade’s sister, Lainie, was driving when the vehicle hit the tree. Cade confirms those details and denies causing the death, but Baker distrusts him and presses true before the others decide. Ophelia and Leon conclude Cade is trying to bait them into a wrong answer, so they choose false along with the rest of the table. Their answer is correct, and the consequence of failure is finally revealed when Baker, locked into the wrong choice, is suddenly crushed by the stone pillar above him.
