Episode Title:
A Place to Return To.
Episode Description:
Lag and his friends are waiting for the Carbernet to appear. Noir, having escaped Lawrence, makes his way to Sinners Bread and Weapon Store and gets a shindanjuu from Jacob Gobeni. Meanwhile Roda and the other ones who could not become spirits are taken to a dark place later revealed to be Dr. Thunderland's laboratory. As the Bees prepare to attack Cabernet, they are in turn ambushed by Garrard and Valentine who try to stop them from destroying Cabernet. Garrard tells Lag that the artificial sun steals people's hearts and Bees are actually indirectly helping this by delivering letters. Cabernet does not appear, to the chagrin of the Bees, as Garrard explains he used spirit ambers to lure other gaichuu instead. Sylvette runs into Gauche outside the bakery store. She learns from her brother that he has no memories of her or their time together. She is sad, but encourages Gauche to do whatever he needs to do and to take care, hoping that he will one day come back. Aria ponders over the report of Signal and Signaless' disappearance. She enters Thunderland Jr.'s lab and discovers that the artificial spirits are hiding inside, with Hunt treating their sickness. Thunderland appears behind Aria and forces her to help them. Meanwhile, Connor and Zazie are captured by the gaichuu who is about to consume their hearts. Gauche arrives and frees them, much to the surprise of Lag and the others.
