Sam insists on turning the scar into something positive because Sam needs something to cope. Frodo applies the ointment which Sam promises is magical, miraculous and can cure anything.

Frodo follows the instructions: take a hot bath and use the ointment. Pretend like everything works and the scar magically doesn't hurt anymore.

A nap follows afternoon tea. Frodo sneaks in another bath following the nightmare sweats.

Everything is fine, though, Sam. Please reassure Rosie this ointment really is magical, miraculous and is curing everything. I might even be well enough for her birthday party next week.

Frodo strips his sheets after he leaves.
