Episode 8 begins with Lightning investigating Section 13, a secret facility linked to the Blue Night and possibly the founding of the Illuminati. He questions Angel, who claims no knowledge of the facility, leading Lightning to suspect a cover-up. Lightning and Suguro then travel to the Vatican headquarters to visit Azazel’s Temple, which honors the King of Spirits and a member of the Grigori. They discuss Azazel and other rulers like Shemihaza and Armumahel, who helped humanity defend against demons and laid the foundation for the Order. Lightning theorizes that Section 13 may have extracted Azazel’s cells to create clones, hinting at a deeper conspiracy.
Later, Suguro delves into Lightning’s records and makes a shocking discovery: Shiro Fujimoto, the adoptive father of Rin and Yukio, was a clone of Azazel. This leads to the speculation that Satan himself might also be a clone of Azazel, meaning the Okumura brothers carry the blood of Azazel’s Nephilim descendants. This revelation raises new questions about the connection between the brothers, Satan, and the Illuminati.
Meanwhile, the students of True Cross Academy discuss their plans for winter break. Shiemi surprises the group by announcing that she won’t take the exorcist exam and will leave the cram school to take over her family’s business, Futsumaya. Her sudden decision alarms her friends, who grow concerned for her. To lighten the mood, they plan a joint Christmas and birthday party, as Rin and Yukio’s birthdays fall during the holiday season.
The friends split up for party preparations: Rin and Konekomaru handle the food, Suguro and Yukio take care of decorations, Kamiki and Shima bake the cake, and Shiemi picks out the Christmas tree. While shopping, Kamiki and Shima navigate their complicated relationship, while Suguro notices Yukio’s growing tension.
At the party, the friends enjoy the festive atmosphere, though some chaotic moments arise—such as when Shiemi’s familiar, Nee, accidentally causes a disturbance. Shiemi distributes four-leaf clover charms and reassures her friends that, despite leaving their shared mission, she’ll still be there for them. Yet, the group remains uneasy about her abrupt decision, which leaves unanswered questions.
Later that evening, Shura joins Rin and Yukio and reveals that she once met their mother, Yuri Egin. She describes Yuri as a cheerful and compassionate woman, giving the brothers a rare glimpse into their maternal heritage. While Rin is content learning about their mother, Yukio struggles with uncertainty about the circumstances of their birth and the secrets their father, Shiro, kept from them.
The episode ends with a tense confrontation between the brothers. Yukio accuses Rin of not being curious enough about their origins and the mysteries surrounding their parents. Rin, who prefers clinging to positive memories, argues that uncovering painful truths is unnecessary.
