The episode begins with Takeshi receiving a call from Hiroshi, who reveals that he knows about Takeshi's recent dealings with Fable. Hiroshi warns of the dangerous consequences if anything happens to Fable and Takeshi, himself, and Kuro become involved. As the scene shifts, Takahashi apologizes to Yoko for overstaying his welcome and heads to Takeshi. He admits his failure in the last mission but is instructed by Takeshi to assist Kuro instead of continuing to watch over Yoko or Fable.

In a reflective moment, Kuro and Takahashi visit the bridge from which Fable previously jumped, prompting Kuro to recklessly mimic the stunt and end up in the hospital. Meanwhile, Fable talks to Yoko about his career prospects, hinting at his desire for a simpler life. This stands in contrast to Takeshi's culinary efforts and a subsequent hospital visit to the injured Kuro and Takahashi.

Amid these personal dramas, Fable faces rejection in the job market and struggles to reconcile his unique skills with conventional employment until he meets Misaki. After learning more about his past, she offers him a position at her company. As Fable embarks on this new path, Kuro dreams of an extravagant lifestyle, hinting at his deeper ambitions.

The episode escalates when Takeshi learns of Fable's interaction with Misaki and demands he quit his new job—a request Fable refuses. The narrative threads converge with personal revelations and shifting dynamics, particularly as Fable contemplates a potential romantic future with Misaki and Takeshi reunites with Kojima, foreshadowing looming conflicts. The episode blends personal growth with lingering threats, ending with a hint of anticipation and unresolved tension.
