In Episode 8, Bell Cranel must endure a merciless training session under the Freya Familia, particularly under the strict guidance of Hedin. The goal is to prove Bell's worthiness for Lady Freya's love. However, there are disagreements within the Familia: some fear that Bell might break under the pressure, while others believe the hardship is necessary, as Freya grows increasingly restless due to Bell's resistance to her allure.

Bell struggles with fragmented memories and tirelessly searches for Ms. Syr—a person whose existence everyone denies. Despite the manipulated reality created by Freya, he senses that something is amiss and refuses to accept this illusion. Meanwhile, Welf sorts through old armor pieces he crafted, feeling a strong connection to them but unable to remember who they were meant for. Hestia and Asfi meet in secret, discussing the Freya Familia's desperate yet unsuccessful efforts to break Bell's resistance.

Determined to uncover the truth, Bell seeks out Ais Wallenstein. Though under Freya's influence, Ais feels an odd familiarity and recalls past training sessions with Bell. This encounter helps Bell reclaim his memories and realize he does not belong to the Freya Familia. With renewed resolve, he confronts Hedin, using the skills he learned from Ais to deliver a decisive blow.

Meanwhile, Hermes becomes aware of the distorted reality and searches for a way to break the cycle. The episode ends with Bell reclaiming his identity and deciding to stand against the Freya Familia's manipulations—a climax that sets the stage for an impending confrontation.
