The episode begins with Frieren training her apprentice Fern in the forest. Frieren notes that Fern has mastered magic very well, but her mana and firepower need improvement. Heiter, Fern's guardian, collapses due to his worsening health. Fern takes on the task of deciphering a mysterious grimoire for Heiter, which, contrary to initial assumptions, does not contain spells for immortality or resurrection.
Fern is determined to become a mage to repay Heiter for saving her life. Heiter allows her to continue her training and acknowledges her progress. Heiter passes away and asks Frieren to take care of Fern. Frieren advises him to create lasting memories with Fern before his death and emphasizes the importance of a proper farewell.
Frieren and Fern embark on various adventures, collecting unique spells along the way. They arrive in a village where a statue of the hero Himmel stands, though it is in a neglected state. Frieren learns that Himmel spent 18 hours deciding on a pose for the statue and ultimately chose a simple one. The villagers have lost interest in maintaining the statue, much to the dismay of an elderly woman who remembers Himmel's heroic deeds.
Frieren decides to search for the Blue Moon Weed, a flower from Himmel's hometown, and plant it around the statue. Although the flower has been extinct in the area for decades, Frieren is determined to find it. Fern is concerned about Frieren's obsession and suggests planting seeds of a related species instead. Frieren agrees to end her search soon but is led by a seed rat to a hidden field of Blue Moon Weed.
Fern questions Frieren's passion for magic, to which Frieren replies that it is merely a hobby sparked by someone who once complimented her spells. They succeed in finding the Blue Moon Weed and summoning it with a spell. They plant the flowers around Himmel's statue, fulfilling Frieren's promise to show them to him one day, albeit posthumously.
The episode ends with Frieren and Fern preparing for their next adventure, leaving the audience to ponder the meaning of their journey.
