Episode Title:
Freezing Point.
Episode Description:
Mitsuo finds out that Kana might have a crush on Shinichi. However, when Mitsuo tries to pick a fight with Shinichi, the former is unable to land a hit on the latter. Satomi gradually becomes wary of Shinichi, noticing something different about him, which is shown when Shinichi fails to save a dying puppy and throws it in the garbage bin. When Shinichi realizes what he has done after Satomi leaves, he decides to give the puppy a proper burial instead. At school, he encounters Hideo Shimada, a Parasite sent by Ryōko, disguised as a transfer student. However, Shinichi does not let his guard down, disbelieving Hideo to be a peaceful person. After Shinichi later saves Kana from being apprehended by Hideo, Kana reveals to Shinichi that she has the ability of telepathy, though Shinichi comments that she can sense wavelengths of something greater than she can imagine. At night, Hideo takes advantage of a girl in the streets in order to feast on her body.
