The Special Fire Force Company 8 operates underground after Obi's arrest. While Obi faces the threat of being implanted with a White Clad "insect" in prison, the 8th Company flees with the help of Joker and Viktor Licht to a forgotten hideout in the Nether. Joker reveals himself as the "dark hero" and supports the group in preparing for the rescue mission.

Meanwhile, the 8th Company is branded as traitors nationwide, while allies like Hibana (5th Company) and Benimaru (Asakusa) watch the situation skeptically. Burns, now allied with the White Clad, justifies his cooperation by referencing the Evangelist's "divine vision," which led him to the true faith in Sol.

The episode culminates in the revelation of Obi's prison location (Fuchu Penitentiary) and the arrival of the White Clad member Gold, who has selected Obi for infernalization. Simultaneously, the 8th Company plans an attack on the prison, with Shinra and Joker acting as the vanguard. Tensions escalate as Burns and the White Clad's "Destroyers" prepare for battle—while Joker calls Shinra the "light" against the darkness of the empire.

The episode ends with the launch of the rescue operation and preparations for the confrontation with Burns' forces, who prioritize faith in the "divine flame" over human morality.
