Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Throughout the episode, background information is being shown from "archives" about the Roswell incident, MJ-12, MEMEX, Xanadu, John C. Lilly, the Shumann resonnance, and Eiri Masami. During that time, Lain gets a microchip from JJ, the DJ from the Cyberia nightclub. She then asks Taro on a "date", to ask him about it. After being scared to death, he admits it is code made to disrupt human memory, made by Knights. He takes their defense, but admits not knowing much about them. During this "date" in Lain's room, while Taro is leaving, he gives Lain what is assumed to be her first kiss (open-mouthed as well, as she finds his gum in her mouth afterwards).
