While Kogami is recuperating from Akane’s Paralyzer shot, she begins to worry about whether she is suited to be an Inspector after the fallout from her first case. On her second day on the job, she begins to learn more about the Enforcers she works with.

The CID’s hunt for Kimihiko Hayama’s killer leads them to another murder with the same modus operandi. Now it’s up to the CID to figure out how to track down the killer’s real identity and get justice for the victims.

Through a Mental Trace, Arata discovers that the supposedly-dead Kurisu is alive and uncovers the truth behind the terrorist bombings. Shimotsuki, meanwhile, has launched a forced search of Heaven’s Leap and brought Unit Two to locate Kei. Torri, cornered, takes Maiko hostage and confronts Kei, but Maiko takes advantage of a momentary opening to end his life.

Unit One has begun to grasp the truth behind the incidents following each other like a line of falling dominoes and team up with the SAD to continue their investigation. Arata guards the governor, who is at risk of being targeted again, while Kei organizes a sting using Kisaragi as bait. When he arrives at the appointed meeting place, however, he finds Shizuka Homura waiting for him.
