In Episode 10 titled "Misty Hollow," the focus is on the ongoing investigations into the werewolf attacks in the village. The episode begins with a conversation between the mayor and Aya, in which the mayor dismisses the idea that one of the villagers could be a werewolf. He mentions that he has tested three outsiders: Heinemann, the doctor; Cnut, the engineer; and Alma, the artist, and that they are human. The mayor also shares some information about werewolves, explaining that they evolved through selective breeding and have developed resistance to silver and holy water.
Aya and Tsugaru then speak with Alma, an artist who lives on the outskirts of the village. Alma mentions that she has seen a golden wolf in the forest but denies any involvement in the murders. Aya notices that Alma is lying about her artistic training, evident in the way she holds the charcoal. Alma admits that she is self-taught and talks about her love for art.
The mayor recounts the story of Rosa, a woman who appeared in the village 13 years ago and gave birth to a girl named Jutte. Both were exposed as werewolves eight years ago and killed by the villagers. Louise, the village's "guardian angel," was the one who identified them.
The agents Alice Rapidshot and Kyle Chaintail from Royce arrive in the village searching for the "penultimate night." They confront Aya and Tsugaru but eventually agree to a temporary truce, as both parties are after the werewolves.
The episode takes a dramatic turn when Alma transforms into a werewolf in front of the villagers. She admits to kidnapping and eating Louise. The attempt to subdue her with silver bullets fails, confirming the mayor's earlier claim about werewolves' resistance to silver. A battle ensues, involving Aya, Tsugaru, Alice, and Kyle. Despite their efforts, Alma escapes.
The episode ends with the characters contemplating their next steps, as Alma's transformation and escape add a new layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation. The Royce agents are impatient but agree to wait a few more days for Aya to solve the case.
