Amon and Robin have spent the last two hours getting her vision checked. The conclusion - when she uses her ability to its full potential, her vision deteriorates for a moment. He insists that Robin gain control over her powers.
Meanwhile, there's a missing witch, Shouji Takizawa, 46 years old. He disappeared even though he had a nice house and was working for a top ranking company. Strangely enough, when he left, he didn't take any money, so the group picks homeless shelters as a likely place he might be.
Sakaki investigates one of the box homes at the shelter to find a bunch of photos. Suddenly, a man grabs his head and becomes paranoid. He runs out of the shelter and into the street where he is hit by a truck. When STN-J investigates, they find that the man was not a witch. One weird characteristic of the dead man was that he had a fragrant olive smell that disappeared before he arrived at the factory. Regardless, the chief isn't happy about this recent turn of events and reprimands Sakaki for his actions. Robin asks why Doujima didn't get in trouble with Sakaki because the two went together. She is informed that Doujima has high status parents.
As the group ponders the recent events, Karasuma describes a similar situation that happened to her about a year ago. They hypothesize that some witches possess the power to control another's mind. It is called the Single Eye. Witches send strong feelings of fear into human's minds but they can't control them completely. Michael believes that the witch is able to magnify the anxiety and fear that lies within. The greater the anxiety and fear a person starts with, the greater they will be effected by the witch.
Meanwhile Sakaki and Amon are out on another investigation. A man by Sakaki starts losing it and as Sakaki tries to calm the man down, a flock of birds taking off scares him and he starts running away. Luckily, Amon is able to catch him before anything bad happens and the two recognize the man as a decoy.
STN-J decides to investigate the homeless shelter with the photos from earlier. While there, Sakaki is attacked and Robin is left to calm him down. Again, there is a scent of olives in the air.
Robin and Amon discuss the case at Harry's later that day. She asks how he knew about Single Eye. He explains that Harry knew of it. That people with Single Eye can only see out of one of their eyes. Robin realizes then that she had seen the man at the shelter. He was the one who bumped into her.
