The episode opens with a flashback on Kishou Arima's stay at the Sunlit Garden, as he captures a butterfly.

Shuu Tsukiyama arrives to assist Naki, Miza Kusakari and the rest of the White Suits. He massacres a handful of soldiers before turning his attention onto Koori Ui, locking blades with him. Meanwhile, in Kanou's lab, Nishiki reveals that he had also been searching for the doctor. He is suddenly attacked by Shikorae and Roma Hoito, who were sent to retrieve Kanou.

At the Aogiri Tree lair, the Quinx Squad confronts Seidou Takizawa. Urie questions him on where Tooru Mutsuki is, but Takizawa mockingly responds that he probably "finished" Mutsuki off. The Quinx eventually gain the upper hand and Urie prepares to kill Takizawa. Akira Mado sacrifices herself by taking the hit from Urie's sword to protect Takizawa. Before collapsing, Mado reminisces about the past during her academy days. As Takizawa looked upon the honor list seeing Mado being the highest honor, he jealously congratulated her as she passed by.

Akira orders the Quinx Squad to stand down as Takizawa doubtfully questions her on what was she trying to do. She then replied that she protected a ghoul, which was against the law. She reveals that she had always felt massive regret over leaving Takizawa during the Anteiku Raid, viewing herself as a failure before collapsing. Urie tries to stop Takizawa, but Koutarou Amon blocks him after recovering from his injuries. He then orders Takizawa to grab Mado and escape to the wharf, which he reluctantly agrees to do. Amon prepares to fight off the Quinx himself.

Kanou manages to escape his lab whilst Nishiki is preoccupied with Roma and Shikorae. As Roma prepares to attack him, she is stopped by Kurona, who partners up with Nishiki to take the duo down. During the ensuing duel, Kurona slices through Roma's kakuhou, but Shikorae reveals he has a chimera kagune and attacks them. After receiving a harsh blow from Nishiki, Shikorae decides to abandon ship and sprints away. Roma is subsequently captured by Kuro and Nishiki.

Amon manages to hold his own against the Quinx squad. Urie demands to know what will be done with Akira, but Amon refuses to answer, stating that she doesn't belong in the CCG. A distraught Saiko, now recognising that Amon is the hooded ghoul who rescued her in the parking lot, attempts to convince Urie to let Amon live. He declines, stating that he doesn't want anyone else to die, and uses Ginkui on him. However, Amon is not kept down for long as he begins to form his own kakuja and easily takes down the Quinx. Urie attempts to get in a fatal strike, but Amon charges back and defeats him. As Amon realises what he's done and begins to shred his kakuja, he is pummelled down by Saiko's kagune. In fury, she demands to know why he let her live. He replies that he simply believed it was the right thing to do and advises her to think hard about whether the choices she makes are right or wrong. With that, he makes his exit.

On the commanding ship outside the island, Itsuki Marude confronts Yoshitoki Washuu at gunpoint. Marude shows him King Bileygr and refutes its statement that the Washuu are working with ghouls, instead claiming that the Washuu are ghouls themselves. He reveals that he delved into the clan's history. Yoshitoki presses him for evidence on the matter, to which Marude says that these are primarily his instincts before shooting Yoshitoki in the head. Marude quietly pleads to himself that this wasn't true, reminiscing about the times he spent with Yoshitoki. However, his thoughts are interrupted by the Washuu commander springing back up with active kakugan and attacking him, proving the theory correct.

Arima is dying in Kaneki's arms, but tells his story to Kaneki. He says The One-Eyed King is something that he and Eto made up. He says that he is a half-human, half-ghoul but unlike Eto, he does not possess ghoul abilities. Half-humans like him have stronger physical abilities but succumb earlier to death, citing his glaucoma as an example of his mutation. He tells Kaneki to tell everyone that Kaneki killed him. Arima then dies, speaking to Kaneki on how he is leaving this world by leaving/giving something behind (Kaneki).
