The episode takes place in the Soul Society, where Captain Kurotsuchi faces off against Gigi, a Quincy with the ability to turn people into zombies. Kurotsuchi unveils a device that neutralizes Gigi's abilities but finds himself in a more complicated situation when Gigi unleashes even stronger zombies. Kurotsuchi then deploys a substance that allows him to turn Gigi's zombies into his own, turning the tables on her.

Meanwhile, Captain Hitsugaya is trapped in a loop and is forced to repeatedly confront Kurotsuchi, who administered a drug to him that enables Hitsugaya to relive moments from the past. Kurotsuchi explains that the medication has a side effect: after a certain number of loops, the user loses their sense of balance for 30 seconds, which can be fatal in battle.

Elsewhere, Byakuya Kuchiki confronts PePe, a Quincy who can control people with his "love." Byakuya realizes that PePe's ability does not work on soulless objects and uses this knowledge to his advantage. PePe attempts to turn the tables by taking control of Byakuya's Zanpakuto, Senbonzakura, but fails. Byakuya defeats him and concludes that his "love" is nothing more than manipulation.

Kurotsuchi's substance begins to take effect, transforming Gigi's zombies into his own. Gigi is defeated, and Kurotsuchi questions her motives, declaring that the Soul Reapers must protect the Soul Society even in death. The episode ends with the characters arriving at the royal palace, setting the stage for the next phase of the battle.
