In Episode 2, Jane learns that Lord Guildford is actually an Ethian, a shapeshifter with the ability to transform into a majestic horse. Jane also discovers that Lord Guildford's ability to shift between his human and horse forms is more complicated than she initially thought. 

Unlike other Ethians, who can effortlessly transition between forms, Lord Guildford struggles with his transformations, often becoming stuck in one form for extended periods. Lord Guildford confides in Jane, acknowledging her intelligence, vast knowledge, and ability to speak multiple languages, and asks for her help in finding a cure.

In 'My Lady Jane' Episode 3, viewers witness Jane's relentless determination to find a cure for Lord Guildford. She spends days and nights immersed in reading multiple books, scouring through ancient texts and medical journals in search of a solution.

She discovers a magical chant in a book and takes Lord Guildford to his place, where she begins chanting, hoping to prevent his transformation into a horse. However, her efforts are in vain, as Lord Guildford transforms before her eyes, unable to control the shift.

She also considers the possibility that Susanna may need her help and could be in danger, prompting her to make the decision to find her.

However, Lord Guildford thinks it's a bad idea and refuses to go with her, expressing concerns for her safety. Undeterred, Jane insists that she will go alone, determined to find Susanna.
