Kon is Deceived! Rangiku on the Lookout..

At Orihime's apartment, Rangiku Matsumoto accidentally treads on Kon and then scolds him for his leering. While the two walk together, a girl named Miyuki loses her dog plushie over a bridge railing and tumbles into the river after it. Rather than dive in herself, Rangiku slips on a Gokon Tekkō, ejects Kon's Gikongan, and lodges it inside the plushie's mouth so he can pilot it and paddle the child to safety. Miyuki wakes believing her rescuer was a boy named Shintarō, and Rangiku strolls off, abandoning Kon to be carried home.

Once a hairdryer forces Kon to break character, an overjoyed Miyuki realizes her toy can move and talk. Kon covers his slip by claiming amnesia and learns that Miyuki lives alone much of the time since her parents separated and her mother works late. She refuses to go outside, insisting she needs no friends, and admits she longs to revisit the family's old home. Kon escorts her there, where a malevolent Reiatsu topples telephone poles and traps them in the courtyard. A two-headed Hollow corners them, and Kon's stuffed body proves nearly useless as he is chewed and stomped while shielding her.

Rangiku arrives at the last moment and purifies the Hollow, whose two heads dissolve into the souls of the real Shintarō, a white dog killed by a car, and a Doberman. Tattered and dying, Kon urges Miyuki to stop leaning on him and to make friends so her overworked mother can rest easy, drawing on his own past as a discarded Modified Soul saved by his companions. Miyuki later reunites with her mother. This anime-original episode, the 135th of the series, closes with a Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book skit in which Rangiku berates Hitsugaya for failing to separate the trash.
