Episode 7 of "Overlord" brings new developments and unexpected twists as Ainz Ooal Gown (Momon) navigates the complexities of the new world he finds himself in. The episode revolves around the intertwined paths of Momon, Nphirea, and Enri, leading to a surprising revelation about the Wise King of the Forest.
The episode begins with a connection between Nphirea and Enri, the girl he likes, who happens to be the same girl Momon (as Ainz) had previously saved. Enri's ability to summon helpful goblins, who aid in defending the village, is a positive twist on the typical goblin stereotype. The goblins not only protect the village but also train the villagers in self-defense.
Momon becomes entangled in his own web of lies, as Nphirea knows him as Lord Momon, while Enri knows him as Lord Gown. The situation is defused when Nphirea, who harbors no ill intentions, agrees to keep Momon's multiple identities a secret. A moment of tension arises when Narberal (Nabe) accidentally reveals information about Albedo, but Momon forgives her and considers the matter closed.
Nphirea pleads with Momon not to kill the Wise King of the Forest, fearing the power vacuum that would arise in its absence. The episode takes a bizarre turn with the unexpected revelation that the Wise King is a giant talking hamster—an absurd and surprising development. Despite its appearance, the Wise King is revered by the others.
Momon achieves his original goal of gaining prestige by capturing and registering the legendary creature. Inspired by Momon, Nphirea asks to join his team, but Momon politely declines, instead promising to protect Carne Village. He encourages Nphirea to continue observing and learning from him.
The episode ends with their return to the city, giving the impression that the adventure has concluded. However, this calm is disrupted when Nphirea notices his grandmother's absence and encounters Clementine, who greets him with a chilling welcome.
