Last Time on Bungo Stray Dogs…
The previous episode began with Nikolai excitedly describing the heavily fortified Mersault Prison. Dazai and Fyodor faced a 30-minute deadline due to poison. To balance the odds, Sigma was given items to choose from, with Fyodor picking the key card. Meanwhile, Aya and Bram faced a lockdown dilemma at the airport. Dazai’s enthusiasm grew in the spacious prison halls, dancing with Sigma. Fyodor’s calm raised suspicions, and Nikolai sensed a trick up his sleeve when Fyodor didn’t respond to an offer.
Aya’s escape attempt was thwarted as guards surrounded her. Bram urged her to flee, revealing they were after him alone. A traumatic memory of her father’s criticism haunted Aya while Kenji intervened, dispatching guards and mentioning Ranpo’s involvement. Meanwhile, Dazai’s antics annoyed Sigma during their dance. A flashback showed Sigma saved by Nikolai, who manipulated him to expose Fyodor’s ability. Triggered by a desire for a real home, Sigma planned to kill Fyodor, meanwhile, Dazai agreed to aid his escape. An intrusion led to the guards' defeat, but it was revealed that the intruder was Chuuya.
Kenji tackled vampire guards, leaving Aya amazed. He mentioned Ranpo’s discovery of an escapee from Fukuchi and sought help. Bram pondered recruiting Kenji for his farm, but a question about wolves shifted the talk. They encountered Tetcho, escalating tension. Aya fled, and Bram warned Kenji, while Tetcho accused the agency of taking Jono, heightening the situation. In Anne’s Chamber, Ranpo tasked Atsushi with safeguarding Aya, initiating a chase. Later, Atsushi met Teruko in disguise, sharing a revealing Tachihara video. Kenji disarmed Tetcho, and the latter’s diverse abilities led to a fierce clash.
