What happens here

Begin by accessing the multi-turn shut-off valve. If there is a decorative cap covering the screw on the handle, gently pry it off with a flathead screwdriver. Once the screw is exposed, use a screwdriver (either flathead or Phillips, depending on the screw type) to loosen and remove the screw by turning it counter-clockwise. After the screw is removed, pull the handle straight off the valve stem to fully detach it.
