Episode 19

A month before the present day, George Glooman overhears his father announce that Glooman Pharmaceuticals is finished, its downfall tied to the Desmond Group. In the present, classmates fawn over Damian's History Stella while George silently seethes: his butler paid the spy Daybreak to flunk the Desmond brothers' exams, and somehow Damian prospered anyway. Anya plucks the whole conspiracy from George's head, stunned that a classmate was Daybreak's client.

George escalates. He plants a cigarette butt near Damian, hurls himself down to fake an assault, and summons a teacher. Emile and Ewen's protests get dismissed as loyalty, but Anya's account of what really happened sinks the frame-up. Cornered, George breaks down and explains himself: the family firm dies that very day, he expects to leave Eden, and he envies everything Damian has. His classmates respond with unexpected mercy. Damian buys him juice and the cafeteria's deluxe caviar bowl, lets him briefly wear the Stella Star, and the children of Cecile Hall sing the school chorus together and shower the departing boy with parting gifts. That evening George's father clarifies the truth: the Desmond Group rescued the company through acquisition, costing him only the presidency, and George will stay enrolled. The next morning a mortified George faces classmates demanding their mementos and juice money back, while Anya simply pats his shoulder.

The second story is anime-original. After Anya rushes off to school, Yor finds her P.E. uniform abandoned on the desk and spirals into visions of expulsion and a delinquent future. She sprints across Berlint by rooftop and alleyway parkour, scales Eden's walls to stay unseen, and spawns a student rumor about a spider woman haunting the windows. Her detour past the school farm sets off animal chaos when the head cow bows to her. Loid spots her from a rooftop mid-mission and briefly assumes his cover is blown before noticing the bag. When Yor finally reaches Anya, the delivery proves pointless: there is no P.E. class that day. Loid catches up to the crestfallen Yor, hears her berate herself as a failed mother, and steers her toward lunch to protect both her mood and the mission.

George Glooman is revealed as the client behind Daybreak's exam sabotage, acting through his family's butler in a bid to get Damian expelled.

George's staged smoking accusation and fake assault collapse when Anya testifies in Damian's defense, a moment Becky misreads as romance.

The supposed bankruptcy of Glooman Pharmaceuticals turns out to be an acquisition by the Desmond Group, and George remains at Eden.

Yor's uniform delivery run showcases her superhuman athleticism and ends in an anticlimax, with Loid consoling her over lunch.

The first half adapts Chapter 28 within the Midterm Exams Arc; "Mama Becomes the Wind" exists only in the anime. The episode premiered in Japan on November 12, 2022.

A nameplate identifies George's father as Jack Glooman, a detail absent from the manga; Chapter 107 later renames him Denis Glooman. Yor's imagined teacher disguise nods to a Twitter illustration Tatsuya Endo drew for Chapter 5, and the insert song "Breeze" scores her parkour dash. When Anya pats the shamed George's shoulder, the leaf gifted earlier drifts through the frame.
