Episode Title:
All in the Same Boat.
Episode Description:
After watching a viral video of Celty's head being seen in the bushes, Mikado contacts Izaya, who questions Mikado as to why he has not quit the Dollars yet. Izaya advises Mikado to quit the Dollars and lead a normal life, but Mikado declines by saying that Izaya was behind the reason why Masaomi knows about him. Mikado plans to reset the Dollars, but Izaya comments that this would make Mikado nonessential to this gang. Meanwhile, Haruna brings Anri to the park, where Haruna explains that she forgives Anri for slashing her with Saika long ago, channeling her hatred into love. Since Haruna is obsessed with looking for her teacher Takashi Nasujima, she asks Anri to join forces with her. Haruna learned that Anri has a relationship with Mikado and Masaomi, which Haruna knew all about because she used to work with Izaya. Haruna, who notices that Anri is trying to contain Saika within her, offers to take Saika for herself. As Anri declines the offer, Haruna now has the reason to fight. Izaya is amazed by Mikado's unpredictability when the latter admits to his nonessential qualities. Mikado analogizes that he wants to sit in a boat at the water's edge, more or less controlling people's happiness and misery from the front row. Izaya turns down Mikado's proposal to join his side, but Mikado tells Izaya to check the news before hanging up the call. After blocking one attack from Haruna, Anri realizes that she called herself a parasite, neither a human nor a monster. Kasane, who overheard Anri and Haruna, requests them to take their fight somewhere else since they disturned the cats in the park. Revealing herself as the original Saika, Kasane restrains and shocks Haruna. Kasane notices that Anri does not want her Saika and offers to buy Saika from Anri at any price, explaining that she has a contract to procure her Saika for a client of hers. After Haruna believes Kasane to be a thieving cat, Kasane agrees for the three of them to discuss matters further in a cafe. Hiroto meets with a disguised Nasujima, who suggests that they work together to obtain Yodogiri's fortune. Nasujima not only shows photo evidence of being in the passenger seat of the hit and run, but also reveals that he told the driver to hit Kyohei. Chikage approaches Masaomi and the Yellow Scarves on a rooftop parking lot, with the ultimatum of being taken over or taken out.
