Doujima calls STN-J and asks Michael about Karasuma. When he gets off the phone, the Chief enters and tells him that they've reached a crossroads - should they protect STN-J or follow the Director till the end?
The rest of the group heads over to Harry's. He asks about Robin's health in their first meeting since the incident and welcomes her back.
Karasuma isn't answering her home phone or cell phone so the group immediately thinks the worst. She always made sure someone could contact her at any time. Apparently Zaizen wants to eliminate hunters by developing an Orbo that can give ordinary humans the power to hunt witches. Solomon is against it, but it may look like STN-J is the hindrance to Zaizen's ideal. The incident a while back also appears to have been staged by Headquarters to find out what the secrets they were keeping in relation to Orbo.
Sakaki is suspicious of Doujima and accuses her of knowing way too much about the current situation. She apologizes and tells him that she was sent to locate facts concerning Orbo. She was Solomon's agent. Sakaki gets mad, but Robin takes her side and admits that she, too, was sent by Solomon to look for certain secrets concerning witches in Japan. Amon decides that it would be best if they infiltrate the Factory. The rest of the group is surprised, and even more so when Michael shows up at Harry's. They can't believe that he made it out of STN-J. Michael admits that the reason he agreed to stay locked up at STN-J was to stay alive, but that really wasn't 'life'. Now that Sakaki and Karasuma were attacked, staying on Solomon's good side doesn't really mean anything anymore. He could still be killed working for them. He asks if they have a plan of action for rescuing Karasuma, and they admit they don't yet. He tells them that they can use STN-J as their base, as the Chief is already on their side.
Zaizen is immediately aware that STN-J has motioned to oppose him and is working without direct orders from Headquarters. He now wants enough hunters made to take over STN-J's current work.
STN-J speculates that Zaizen was following up with Toudou's missing records. Toudou's mother confirmed that he did stop by 15 years ago, and they believe it was to follow up with his core research. Their current mission is to find out what he had been working on and how he disappeared, as well as what the current dispute is between Headquarters and Zaizen.
Zaizen, meanwhile, has just gotten another report on the previous hunt. Apparently another was wounded through the effects of the Orbo. He can't figure out why it causes humans to become psychotic.
Michael discovered that there is a man held in a cell for the last 15 years who was accused of atrocious crimes. He was actually a former researcher for Solomon. Zaizen has been collecting information on him since yesterday evening. Amon asks if it is possible to meet that guy. It looks like he will be transferred to Europe tomorrow by direct order from Solomon.
As the prisoner is being transferred, a SWAT team tries to intercept the vehicle. STN-J is there to stop the hijacking. Amon and Robin enter the vehicle to find a researcher in great pain. He takes one look at Robin, calls her Maria, the Devil's Child, and then mumbles to himself that Toudou actually built it. He then dies before them.
Amon and Robin visit Toudou's mother once again. She agrees to see Amon, but not Robin. She won't answer any questions about the girl, but as he walks away, he mentions that her son was married to Maria. The woman starts crying and shuts the door. He can hear her denying the statement from inside, where she calls Maria a witch.
