Episode Title:
A Dark Night's Passing.
Episode Description:
Shinichi meets Mamoru Uda, a human who has a Parasite named Joe fused into his jawline, which saved him from being drowned after falling off a cliff. Mamoru hears the story about how Shinichi first encountered Migi and how Kazuyuki ended up in the hospital. Later, Shinichi learns that Migi scattered cells throughout his body to close the heart wound, which explains his physiological changes. When Mamoru senses Nobuko nearby at a cliff, Shinichi heads toward that direction. However, Migi falls asleep after morphing into a scythe, leaving Shinichi to fight by himself. After Mamoru fails to defeat Nobuko, Shinichi steps in and fights Nobuko alone. Shinichi leaves himself vulnerable when reminiscing about his mother, but Mamoru executes a surprise attack from behind, thereby killing Nobuko once and for all. After saying goodbye to Makiko and contemplating about Nobuko's death with Kazuyuki, Shinichi returns back to school.
