Episode Title:
Hyōka Kazakiri (Friends).
Episode Description:
Tōma stops and successfully destroys Sherry's golem with Imagine Breaker. When she summons another one, Tōma coordinates with the Anti-Skills to put her on the defensive. However, when Sherry suddenly decides to flee, Tōma realizes that her target is not Hyōka specifically but anyone valuable enough to trigger a war between Necessarius and Academy City, so Index is now Sherry's intended target. Hyōka, acknowledging how she came into being, chooses to save Index and escapes the underground mall without Tōma. Meanwhile, Index separates from Mikoto in order to pursue a runaway Sphinx and is attacked by Golem Ellis. Though Index is able to hold her own against Golem Ellis by interfering with its remote-controlled mechanism, the tables are turned against her when it is switched to automated control and she is about to be crushed until something unexpected happens.
