Episode Title:
Smoke Signal.
Episode Description:
The newly reformed Squad Levi, now composed of Eren and his six remaining cadet friends, are camped out in a remote cottage where Hange carries out experiments on Eren to test his Titan abilities. Hange reports that Pastor Nick has been tortured and murdered in the Trost District barracks but she accuses the Military Police's First Interior Squad of being responsible. Levi suspects that someone in the government has their sights set on destroying the Survey Corps and concealing the secrets of the Titans. After Nifa delivers a message from Erwin, who has been arrested by the Military Police, Levi has the Scouts abandon their hideout only shortly before the Military Police arrives to raid it. Levi figures that the government is after Eren and Historia, and he decides to head back to the Trost District. Before Hange leaves with Mobilt to go after Erwin, Eren gives her a written copy of the conversation he recalled between Ymir and Bertholdt.
