Birdy fights with King Zero as Nejula corners Gelabu--whom ultimately commits suicide for his "pride" or "honor." Thanks to Birdy's way with words and the simple fact that King Zero's girl can't stand to see lots of people die, she detonates the falling satellite which was targeting the Union. Kashugeza turns out to be an undercover agent under Skeletsu's direction. Birdy is quite frustrated with the fact that Skeletsu tolerated the deaths of her fellow, innocent, Altarians in the terrorist attack in order to get a lead on King Zero.

Nakasugi invites her friends including Tsutomu to her family village in the Sawajiri Village in Nagano. But on one evening, Nakasugi succumbs to the Riunka implanted on her by an unknown force who returned the renegade marionette back to her owners. A small number of Riunka explosions rattled the village, forcing local police and the JGSDF to mobilize.

Birdy and Tsutomu head to the Lost Bird to figure out a way to purge the Ryunka out of Sayaka's body. The two were able to do so, at the cost of Tsutomu's own body when he sacrificed it to allow Birdy to kill him again and purge the Ryunka parasite out of his body with Nejula in charge of containing it. The Japanese government had covered up the events as the JGSDF had mobilized in Roppongi. Due to the events, Sayaka loses some of her memories including her encounters with Tsutomu. Birdy once again merges with Tsutomu until a new body can be readied. Meanwhile, Gomez and his boss Revi had a conversation about whether Birdy is a threat, with Gomez telling Revi to take some precautions against her.

Birdy is informed of a break-out from an intergalactic prison, and manages to track down one of the rogue prisoners. Although she is ordered to apprehend the criminals alive, he was killed by the time she arrived on the scene. The only clue is a disguise chip, which dissolved the body.

Shouko catches Nataru and Birdy in an embrace, although only because of Birdy's clumsiness. As a result, she runs off out of the hospital, calling Nataru to come find her. But when she sees Birdy with him, she keeps running off. At the end of the episode, Nataru is shot.
