| ShortSummary
| - Anri Sonohara runs away from the Yellow Scarves. She hides in a dark alley and is scared of what will happen if Kida discovers her identity. The scene flashes back to when Anri was fetched out of the hospital by Mikado and Kida. Anri is puzzled over Kida's strange behaviour and worries about causing a gang war over Saika. This prompts her to ask her "children" in Yellow Scarves who their leader is, not believing them when told it was Kida, and decided to investigate. Celty sends her a text message and rescues her. As Celty drives away, a Yellow Scarves member throws a metal pipe at Anri, who brings out Saika and slashes it away just in time. Kida comes to the conclusion that Saika is also in Dollars. Meanwhile, Izaya fills Mikado in on the details of the gang war between Yellow Scarves and Blue Square. Kida realizes that he had only fought as the Yellow Scarves's leader for Mikajima Saki, and now his best friend Mikado.
- Shinra Kishitani, an unlicensed underground doctor, talks to the headless woman, whose name is revealed to be Celty Sturluson, about her day using a chat room. That morning, Celty learned from Izaya that an old street artist saw a dullahan missing its head. Celty quickly goes to find the man, but cannot find him. Shizuo knows where the artist is and helps her talk to him. However, they find that the artist could not draw the dullahan's head. Shinra tells Celty to give up looking for her head so they can live together forever. Celty becomes upset and leaves. It is revealed that during that morning, Shinra was the man that told the artist that the dullahan was perfect without the head.
The episode is in Shinra's point of view.
- It is discovered that Mika Harima is actually alive, and that Celty's head is being held by Yagiri Pharmacy. Mika survived Seiji's brutal attack at his apartment and was given a choice by Namie, by having her face reconstructed to be like Celty's. Shinra was the surgeon responsible for Harima's operation, and kept the secret from Celty, out of fear of losing her because of her head's will. After Shinra and Celty get things straight, they promise not to have any more secrets between each other. Izaya hints to Mikado being one of his chatmates online. In the aftermath of the Dollars' meeting, Seiji reluctantly accepts Mika as his girlfriend until he finds Celty's head again, and the pair resume school. Mikado is about to get into a possible relationship with Anri, and Celty accepts and enjoys her own existence, even though she has not yet found her head. Izaya takes Namie under his protection and wants to work together, revealing Celty's head to be in his possession.
- Seiji and the red-haired girl are in the park. When Seiji leaves to buy drinks, the red-haired girl drops his phone into a fountain. Namie becomes nervous because Seiji cannot be contacted or found. Worried that the police might find him, Namie decides to handle the situation herself and goes to talk with Izaya. She remembers her childhood where she and Seiji were often together while in the care of their uncle. Namie asks Izaya to find Seiji. After she learns Seiji has fallen in love with the head in her uncle's study, she moves it to Yagiri Pharmaceuticals. Shortly after, the head is stolen. One day, Seiji calls her to say that he apparently killed Mika Harima after she crept into his room and discovered the stolen head. Izaya informs Namie that Seiji will be shortly in police custody. The girl receives a message on her cell phone saying she is being pursued and attempts to run away with Seiji. They pass Celty and Shizuo and she recognizes the girl's face as her own. She chases after her. Shizuo stops Seiji and becomes infuriated at how Seiji says he loves the red-haired girl. After stabbing Shizuo, Seiji chases after the two women. The girl bumps into Mikado, who helps her escape. Shizuo catches Seiji and leaves him with bruises. Shortly after, the police apprehend Seiji. Namie states that she had the red-haired girl created from Harima's body for Seiji. Shinra questions Celty to know what she wants to do with Harima and her head. Namie orders her men to find and retrieve the girl, and if necessary, to apply deadly force to accomplish their task.
This episode is told from Namie's perspective.
- Mikado runs into the red-haired girl, who is being chased by Celty, and helps her escape. That night, Mikado tells Kida what happened and he hardly believes it. Mikado has thoughts about how he wanted an extraordinary life and decides to allow the girl to stay with him. Later, at school, Kida makes a list of the names of students suspected of being members of the Dollars, for the other students to vote on which people they suspect of being a part of the group. Mikado notices a student, Takeguchi, who has only one vote. Kida says he placed that one vote and suspects that Takeguchi is a member and seeks him out. After finding him, Takeguchi admits to being a member of the Dollars. He adds that he was invited by a text message from a stranger and says that he joined because he liked the lack of rules and hierarchy. Kida and Mikado decide to keep this a secret. After school, Mikado leaves with Sonohara. When they start to walk home, they are stopped by a rowdy looking man and woman, who appear to be angry at Mikado. The woman says she had to buy a new cell phone because of what Izaya did. The guy starts threatening Mikado when Celty and Izaya show up. Celty knocks out the man and Izaya, after scaring away the woman, tells Mikado he wants to talk to him and asks why Celty is there. Mikado realizes Celty must be looking for the red-haired girl and heads home, but is closely tailed by Celty and Izaya. Mikado decides to hear them out, so Celty tells Mikado about her self and how she is searching for her head. Mikado agrees to lead Celty to the girl and clear up the misunderstanding. Meanwhile, Togusa and his three friends begin to chase a van because their vehicle was dented by a pebble. When Mikado, Izaya, and Celty arrive to meet the girl, Mikado finds she is missing and is pinned down by some men who are also searching for the girl.
