Haruka visits the Great War Memorial Hall, where an unidentified source informs her documents showing Quon was in Sendai are probably fakes, and at dinner, we get hints that Ayato likes Haruka. A Dolem appears, but since it is too high up to effectively attack, and hasn't made any offensive moves, and TERRA lets it be. Sayoko spends most of this episode sneaking around, trying to get information out of people, with varying success.

While on the run from the authorities, Ayato and Asahina grow closer as they start a life together and try to blend into the rest of society. Free of Tokyo Jupiter effects, though, Asahina soon discovers something about herself that frightens her. Fearing that Ayato would leave her if he knew her secret, she decides to keep the news to herself.
