Barbatos confronts Zagan and Nephy and attempts to use magic against them. Zagan reveals that he has known Barbatos' identity and deeds for some time, having suspected him since the incident with the Facestealer. He explains his unique ability to overwrite and undo magic by drawing the same magical circles. Surprised and overwhelmed, Barbatos pleads for his life.
Zagan decides to spare Barbatos because he still wants access to good liquor and because he is confident in his own strength. He declares that he wants to protect Nephy and give her a place in the world, even if it means taking control. Barbatos, frustrated by Zagan's unconventional attitude, accidentally activates a summoning circle meant for a true demon.
The result of the summoning is a powerful shadow entity, which Zagan recognizes as beyond human capability. However, the creature bows to Zagan because he bears the emblem of an Archdemon and allows him to dismiss it. The cave begins to collapse, and Zagan escapes with Nephy and Chastille while the knights prioritize the safety of the citizens.
Chastille refuses to lead the hunt for Zagan despite pressure from the Church, resulting in her expulsion from the Order of Angels.
When alone with Nephy, Zagan struggles to express his feelings for her but declares that he wants to protect her and strengthen their bond. Nephy asks Zagan to let her wear the slave collar as a symbol of their connection.
The episode ends with news of the new Archdemon spreading throughout the city and among the other Archdemons. The Church faces internal conflict as Chastille's dismissal raises questions about their priorities. Meanwhile, Zagan reflects on the complexity of his love for Nephy as he grapples with his new role as an Archdemon.
