The episode begins with the appearance of Shildina, the current Water Dragon Miko, who appears before the gates of the old capital as a representative of the Emperor. To prevent a bloody war in the capital, she proposes a decisive duel between representatives of the warring parties. She specifically challenges Sadeena, the former Water Dragon Miko, and declares that her defeat would mean the collapse of the government army.
During the confrontation, an emotional revelation occurs: Shildina reveals herself to be Sadeena's little sister. She accuses Sadeena of having dumped the burden of the Miko office onto her by fleeing from Q'ten Lo. Shildina describes how she suffered under the pressure of the elders and her own family, who constantly compared her to her renegade older sister.
The duel begins and goes through several phases. At first, Sadeena refuses to use her true power, which enrages Shildina. Surprisingly, the fight temporarily develops into a drinking contest, in which Sadeena tries to persuade her sister to escape the oppressive system. Shildina, however, insists on fulfilling her duty and finally activates the power of the "Oracle". This ability allows her to copy and mimic past techniques and memories stored in a harpoon spirit left behind by Sadeena.
The situation escalates when Shildina loses control of the Oracle power. Her personality changes, her speech becomes strangely monotonous ("yes, indeed"), and a foreign, powerful presence takes possession of her. This entity, which calls itself the "Emperor", announces the destruction of Naofumi's group before flying off with Shildina's body towards the Imperial capital.
Naofumi finds a map that Shildina secretly slipped to him, which contains a part of her soul – a silent plea for rescue. Thereupon, Naofumi immediately sets off for the capital with Sadeena, Raphtalia, and Filo to rescue Shildina. The episode ends with a dark outlook as the team encounters fleeing soldiers who report on the destructive presence in the Imperial palace, paving the way for the finale.
I hope this summary is helpful for you. If you need more details about a specific scene or an overview of another episode, let me know.
