This episode opens with a monologue from a different person. It’s the story from a man who once went to an abolition block with his father. . .a young man who was with his father in a place he called a safe house. His father shows him an antique gun and says they’re in a bad situation, and the man remarks that he felt pride at that time to share a secret with his father. . .

We see the focus of this episode is on Ginoza. He spends time speaking to Kasei, the leader of the MWPSB. From what we see she basically wants Ginoza to change his reports so the Sybil system doesn’t seem to hold any legitimate flaws. Ginoza, after discussion, decides he must change his report and prepare an explanation for the team.

Akane meanwhile is dealing from the backlash of Yuki’s death, and apologizing to Kogami for what happened. They resolve to find Makishima, and decide Akane will even perform a memory scoop to produce a picture of Makishima for their records. The process deeply disturbs and traumatizes Akane, but she seems to recover quickly and they actually manage to get a photo of Makishima. Kogami and the other Enforcers are relieved.

Meanwhile Ginoza’s psycho pass has been rising, and so he takes the opportunity to talk to someone close to him. The person he talks to is Masaoka, the man who clearly seems to be his father. They discuss Akane and his confidence in her psycho pass, and seem to get along for a bit. Ginoza reveals he is his father in that moment and seems bitter at him for making his mother and him suffer for Masaoka’s bitterness at Sybil.

We see a strange scene with Kasei. . . who seems to know Makishima?!  Meanwhile Makishima is discussing the conflicts of human desire. “What I think is the most troublesome desire is the desire for attention. It is the source of jealousy and relationship problems too. I pride myself on having almost no desire for that.” Makishima seems to confront a truth about himself there. He has no need for flagrant attention, but there is something he is implying here that we’ll have to address much later. “almost no desire” is how he has stayed where he is, and remained undetected for so long.

Meanwhile, a man in a mask casually walks into a building and demands medicine…causing no alarms, and killing two doctors. It seems something about his mask could deceive the cymatic scan and read his hue as being something that was far below what he was truly experiencing. Somehow, he has reached a key to to deceiving the system. The situation escalates when he shows up again while a woman is on the phone. He begins to bludgeon her to death while everyone watched, unable to understand why nothing seems to be stopping him. Instead the scanners only confront her for being ‘distressed’.

The MWPSB gets alert of a video of the act…and realize it’s begun.

The woman was stripped down and beaten to death, but no one reported it. The elevated stress level is what revealed it and nothing else. Kogami however notices something…..the psycho pass of the killer read higher as the witnesses did. It’s realized then that the psycho pass reading is being mimic’ed and read from the nearest, lowest hue, and that’s how they get away with it. Shortly after, an armored car is attacked, and more and more people have been revealed to possess the helmets.

They realize they’re so focused on the helmet they aren’t bothering to look into the obvious- if there was someone out for the victim. They figure out it was a co worker of hers and find evidence in his home, and confirm the method of copying by realizing it when it copies Akane’s crime rating! They decide to lead him away from Akane to an abandoned area and manage to take him out thanks to that. (funny – masaoka’s rating is higher than kogami at the time, and thanks to that they got to stun the guy lol)

Meanwhile Makishima is with some of the criminals who used the helmets, and they seem to be under the impression they can steal from him. Makishima downs every one of them in a matter of a few moments and seems disgusted that he has to needlessly kill.
