| ShortSummary
| - Triela is still upset at her failure to defeat Pinocchio. Mario Bossi is testifying against the Mafia and Hilshire and Triela are sent to Naples to guard his teenage daughter, Maria "Mimi" Machiavelli. Mimi chafes at the restrictions and tries to escape, being captured by the mafia sent to capture her as leverage to prevent her father from testifying. Jose and Henrietta rescue her, however. Triela undergoes close quarters combat training at a Carabineri base. And a series of flashbacks also tells the story of how Hilshire and Rachelle Belleut met at Europol and while investigating a snuff film, rescued Triela at the cost of Rachelle’s life. It ends with Triela having one of her legs replaced and when she awakes, she notes that she dreamed of someone who was maybe her mother.
- Flashbacks reveal that Flanca, whose given name was Caterina, was the person who introduced Patricia to Marco when they were both going to the University of Rome. Flanca, Franco, and Pinocchio are hiding out and recovering at her farm in Frascati after the escape from Section Two. Additional flashbacks reveal how, after her father dies in prison, Flanca seeks out the bomber Franco to get revenge on the national government. Driving back from a meeting with her uncle, Flanca stops to assist some stranded motorists, who instead turn out to be Section One agents. Franco and Pinocchio rescue her, killing all the agents in the process, and take her to a nearby hotel to recuperate. Section Two arrives and sets off an anti-personnel mine left under one of the agent’s bodies, but Henrietta’s quick actions save everyone from fatal injury.
- After barely defusing a bomb in a subway, the police begin to search for Enrico Beldini, a noted bomber. Henrietta and Jose overhear a conversation in which Beldini deals with the Padania Republic Faction for a bomb to use. The PRF, namely members Flanca and Franco, agrees, but Enrico is tailed by Carabinieri agents throughout the city. Subsequently, Henrietta, Rico, and Triela raid Enrico's hideout, and they are able to dispatch his guards and capture him alive. Afterward, Jose gives Henrietta gelato from the Piazza di Spagna as her reward. Flanca and Franco accidentally meet Henrietta, and remark after assuming that she is a daughter of wealth that she is one of the ones they are fighting for.
- Henrietta and her "handler," Jose, members of Section Two of the Social Welfare Agency, which handles covert government actions, are ordered to a site to acquire a witness. In a flashback, Jose recalls how he found Henrietta in a hospital after her family had been killed. He had her nursed back to health, fitted with cybernetics, and trained to be an assassin. In the present, he approaches the armed group surrounding the witness, but one of the men's threats against him causes Henrietta to start viciously attacking, and she dispatches the men inside the room. Jose reprimands her for this, as their mission is a failure, although the witness is later found outside the building. Back at base, Henrietta is comforted by two of her counterparts, Triela and Claes.
- The girls plan to see a meteor shower, but Henrietta is distressed when Jose reveals that he is too busy and cannot attend. As a result, Triela tries to find a new chaperone, and Hilshire agrees after Triela helps him with his work. Meanwhile, Henrietta visits Angelica in the hospital, where Angelica hears a dog barking, causing her to remember her old dog. Henrietta relays this information to Marco, who is apathetic, but Henrietta implores him to visit his charge. He initially refuses and asks Henrietta whether she is dissatisfied with her mechanical condition, to which she responds that she has accepted who she is. Marco later goes to visit Angelica as the other girls go to see the meteor shower. The girls begin to sing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 as Angelica listens to it in her hospital bedroom. She then asks Marco to read "Il Principe del Regno Della Pasta."
