The episode begins with a revelation about Renzou Shima's past and his affiliations. Juuzou Shima tells Bon and the others that Renzou had been working as a double agent for the Illuminati even before his time at True Cross Academy. This decision was influenced by Mephisto Pheles, who saw potential in Renzou's unique abilities with black flames and his natural talent for espionage.
Later in the episode, Renzou is seen aboard the Illuminati's flying aircraft carrier, where the transformed Gedouin Lucifer introduces himself. In a dramatic turn, Lucifer kills Gedouin, bringing his character to a ruthless end. Following this, Lucifer's deputy orders Renzou to return to True Cross Academy to gather information.
Upon his return to the academy, Renzou is met with mixed emotions. His classmates, including Rin, who has disguised himself with a pink wig to imitate Shima, react with a mix of affection and aggression, expressing their feelings of betrayal and concern. This emotional reunion is interrupted when they are summoned to Mephisto Pheles' office, where Lewin Light (Blitz) leads an interrogation to test Renzou's loyalty.
In the office, Pheles realizes that the recent trials the students faced were staged as preparation for an impending battle against Lucifer. This revelation frames the students' past experiences as manipulative tests rather than simple challenges.
The climax of the episode hints at a deeper plot involving Yukio Okumura. After the meeting, Yukio suddenly leaves, and Renzou suggests that Yukio might be communicating with "the commander," referring to Lord Lucifer. Yukio's intense reaction to this implication foreshadows the narrative direction for the series' future developments.
