In this episode, Himari Momochi, who has grown accustomed to life in the Momochi House with Aoi and the others, faces new challenges. She begins attending a new school, where she is greeted by her homeroom teacher, Nachi Takamura. As she introduces herself to her classmates, she hopes for a smooth integration into her new environment.
Unexpectedly, her classmates, fascinated by the mystique of the Momochi House, decide to visit her after school. Himari, eager to make friends but afraid of revealing the supernatural inhabitants of the house, agrees. Back at the house, she hastily explains the situation to Aoi, who decides to pose as Himari's sister along with the others.
However, the situation takes an eerie turn when Aoi reveals to Himari that one of her friends is actually a deceased soul now masquerading as a living student. This entity, originally a wandering spirit of the school, was accidentally invited into the house by Himari. It drains the spiritual energy of the house and transforms into an Ayakashi, a type of supernatural being.
Himari must figure out which of her friends is the spirit, as only she, the owner of the house, can banish it. A wrong guess could provoke the entity and put everyone in danger. With the creature indistinguishable among her friends, Himari faces a difficult decision.
During the visit, one of the friends, Iizuka, suddenly stops responding, raising suspicions that she might be the spirit. However, Aoi and Yukari notice that Iizuka's presence is still detectable, suggesting the real spirit is still among the group. Himari must find the subtle, out-of-place detail that reveals the spirit's identity.
As tension mounts, Himari notices that one of her friends, Torii, lacks a reflection, exposing her as the spirit. In a dramatic confrontation, the now-identified spirit expresses its loneliness and desire for friendship. This emotional moment is interrupted by Kasha, a powerful Ayakashi who has been manipulating the situation. A battle ensues, with Aoi assuming his Nue form to confront Kasha.
The episode ends with the spirit, having found peace, departing after acknowledging its friendship with Himari. The other friends, unaware of the supernatural events, leave the Momochi House still believing it to be an ordinary home.
