Through an unfortunate twist of fate, Courtney was later hit by a falling meteor that struck the castle roof. Queen Aia rushed to the rooftop to plead with the Grim Reaper to leave her cook (and friend, by then) be, and to her great surprise, the Reaper agreed and revived Courtney.
Afterward, Queen Aia cast the Sanctuary spell on Courtney, to prevent her from falling victim to such accidents again in the future.

As Queen Aia's dynasty grew and her tasks became less manageable, she needed to relegate tasks to others; while she had a maid at the start, Malia Pryor, she later hired a Royal Cook, Courtney McKnight. Her sister Candace would later come to work for the palace as well.

Courtney: Wren, honey-.. he’ll be back by the time you wake up!
Wren: B-but I want him n-now.

[Courtney breathed a sigh of relief as a set of keys finally jangled at the front door]

Episode 30: Coming Clean
If Paul was planning to test the waters about coming out, it seemed that talking to Jamie was the best start. After their awkward encounter which revealed their shared attraction to Thornton, they still hadn’t properly talked about it.
Paul began by asking her what happened between her and Thornton that night–aside from the dirty version she’d already told him about. He made it clear that he was asking without judgment and that there were no hard feelings. After all, she was right that they never defined their relationship.
She said she was upset with Thornton that night and confronted him. She didn’t think it was right for him to cut her off like that because of Morgana’s insecurities. After some back and forth about it, Thornton and Jamie both admitted to having feelings for each other. Things started to get physical, but Thornton stopped and said he couldn’t continue. That was when Jamie stormed off and found Paul.
She apologized for using Paul to deal with her feelings about Thornton, but Paul supposed he was doing the same thing that night. “If you didn’t already figure it out, I’m bisexual,” he confessed, feeling a bit lighter now that he’d shared the truth with someone else.
Jamie sensed the weight he’d been carrying and warmly embraced him. She assured him that she didn’t feel any differently about him and supported him 100%. Paul was appreciative, but pointed out that the bigger issue at hand was her feelings for another man. Jamie sighed. “I wish I didn’t want him, but I do,” she said, her eyes brimming with tears.
“I guess I could say the same,” Paul quipped, and they both laughed at the awkwardness of the situation. It felt good to share a laugh with someone over something that had caused him such turmoil.
Ultimately, Paul and Jamie agreed that there were too many outside factors at play for them to continue their romantic relationship and decided to just be friends.
After Jamie left, Danica and Wesley came to check in with Paul. They'd picked up on the tension between him and Jamie and were wondering if everything was okay with them.
Without getting into all of the details, Paul told his friends that he and Jamie decided they were better as friends. He also took the opportunity to come out to them. They both apologized for the hurtful comments they'd made in the past and promised to be more supportive.
Paul ended the day feeling as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He was finally experiencing the acceptance he'd craved for so long. He just hoped coming out to his family would be this easy.
