The episode begins in a snow-covered landscape, forming the cold backdrop for the unfolding events. The college still stands under the shadow of the mysterious attacks, and the students and staff struggle with the ongoing crisis.
The protagonist, Chise, is approached by a fellow student who has accidentally delved into the memories of others. The student asks Chise for help in understanding the meaning of these visions, which often show key moments or traumas in people's lives. Despite the emotional toll such a journey might take, Chise agrees to assist her.
At the college, preparations for the Christmas party are in full swing—a much-needed distraction from the tensions. Students craft rune amulets as gifts, with one student choosing the "Thorn" rune, symbolizing protection and a personal connection to this emblem.
Philomela, a student who was previously under duress, now displays defiance, rejecting her grandmother's demands and asserting her independence. This act of rebellion marks a crucial turning point in her personality.
The college staff, particularly the headmaster, faces criticism for their inaction in tracking down the attacker. Accusations of negligence suggest that not all possibilities have been thoroughly investigated.
During a routine examination, Chise learns more about the nature of curses and hexes, the complexity of magic, and the consequences of harming others.
Philomela's condition worsens; she murmurs about needing more of something, hinting at a deeper involvement in the crisis. Her behavior becomes erratic, and she is seen picking something up, though it's unclear what it is.
The episode takes a dramatic turn when Chise collapses, suggesting that the magical book—the source of the recent disturbances—is nearby. Elias, Chise's guardian, decides to resolve the situation with the help of another student.
The pursuit leads to a confrontation with the owner of the spellbook, who turns out to be Rian, another student. Rian's inner turmoil surfaces as he expresses feelings of inadequacy and resentment toward Chise.
The episode ends with a shocking revelation: Philomela has transformed into something evil and speaks of welcoming her parents back from hell.
