Bell the Cat.
Episode Description:
In the hospital, Anri Sonohara prepares to tell Erika Karisawa her secret, only to be interrupted by Chikage Rokujo, who casually approaches them. Erika tells Chikage that only family members are allowed to see Kyohei Kadota, who will be waking up from his surgery soon. Chikage exchanges numbers with Erika and leaves. Izaya shows up at the hospital just when Anri is about to tell Erica about Saika. Anri suspects Izaya of messing with Mikado Ryūgamine and Masaomi Kida, but Izaya declares that he did nothing, all for the love of observing human beings. As Izaya strongly believes Anri of being inhuman when she agreed to be one with Saika, Erica slaps Izaya with a paper plane, telling him to stop trying to make Anri cry. When Izaya leaves for a cranial nerve examination, Erika consoles Anri. Meanwhile, an exhausted Celty informs Shinra about the difficulty of sleeping arrangements for her house guests. Shinra is concerned because Celty acts more human than most people, which is why she is so kind. It is revealed that Kasane and the mother of Ruri Hijiribe are half-sisters, Kasane being considerably younger. Ruri's grandmother took Kasane after she was born and sold her to Jinnai Yodogiri, who trained Kasane from a young age to run his business, forcing her to prey on humans and monsters alike. After Yodogiri died, Kasane continued to run the business by using stand-ins for him, because running the business was all she knew in the world. Kasane became jealous upon discovering that her niece Ruri was freely pursuing her dreams. Seitarō calls Kasane asking about Yodogiri, and Kasane tells him that she will be taking care of their contract. Kasane is seen enjoying her first day of freedom, buying out all the cat ear headbands at a cosplay store and reading a magazine under a tree at a park. Anri also goes to the cosplay store, discontent that the cat ear headbands were sold out earlier. However, she runs into Haruna Niekawa, another wielder of Saika. In the online chat room, Kururi tells Celty to watch the live broadcast on television, which shows that a woman's head was found in the bushes in front of the police station. Earlier the same day, Manami Mamiya, still bent on getting revenge on Izaya, went to see Haruna at her apartment. Haruna, who was ordered by Izaya to guard Celty's head, was persuaded by Manami to hand it over in order to get back her freedom, before they went their separate ways. In the present, Celty faints after news of her head is reported on the internet.
