Short Synopsis
Raki, who remains determined to protect Clare, persuades Isley to teach him swordsmanship; meanwhile, Priscilla continues to express a seemingly innocent and peaceful liking for Raki. While with the two, Raki learns more about Claymores and discovers the warriors' presence in Pieta.

In town, Deneve confronts her captain, Undine, about her reckless approach to combat after the latter leaves their team in a fit of anger. The two eventually reconcile by revealing their motivations for becoming Claymores. Meanwhile, Flora, Clare's captain, distrusts Clare because of her borrowed arm and wants to challenge her, wondering how her Windcutter matches up with the Quicksword. However, before the two can fight, Jean interferes, and this causes Flora to claim that she is going to recommend that Miria remove them from the mission. Clare reveals that Irene gave her the arm after Clare had lost her right arm in battle. She also reveals that she's after the Awakened Priscilla, and these revelations gain Flora's support and trust. Undine returns to her team and addresses them rather kindly, puzzling the other Claymores. In the distance, Isley meets his lieutenant, Rigardo nearby at a lake and orders him to bring along the full manpower of his Awakened followers to annihilate Pieta.
