| 1 | "A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words" "Hyakubun wa Ikken ni Shikazu" (百聞は一見に如かず) | January 10, 2015 |
| Celty is being chased by Kinnosuke Kuzuhara, who is also followed by a TV van. By partially transforming Shooter back into a horse, she goes up the side of the building. On the rooftop she makes a shadow clone of herself that floats through the sky, successfully misleading Kinnosuke and the TV van. This chase recorded by the TV van cuts Kasuka's interview, much to the annoyance of the Orihara twins. Despite this, Mairu expresses her excitement in seeing the Headless Rider and all the magical wonders of Ikebukuro, with Kururi calmly expressing her interest. On television, Celty has become a sort of celebrity, something which Shinra remarks. She later leaves for a job, promising to be safe. The news then shifts to talk about the recent murders by a criminal known as "Hollywood", whose nickname - according to Erika and Walker - is a result from the killer wearing professional makeup, a different one during each crime. Izaya is shown watching television, and suggests to Namie to go to a restaurant. Namie replies asking what could they possibly talk about, to which Izaya brings up Seiji, much to Namie's annoyance. Kasuka is shown being interviewed on television, getting asked about why he is so stoic, something his manager complains about. He admits that his elder brother is a bad example to follow, but says he doesn't disrespect him. Shizuo snorts at this, before responding to Tom's call. Celty is next shown finishing her examination by Emilia Kishitani, who she remembers being her new stepmother, despite protesting that she and Shinra are not married. Shingen then appears through an iPad telling her she is effectively his daughter-in-law, and should call Emilia her 'mother'. Celty is then paid one million yen for her cooperation. While thinking of what to buy Shinra, she gets interviewed by the TV van, whom she spooks by revealing Scooter is a horse, but fails to run from them when Kinnosuke appears right behind her, calling her "a monster". The time then shifts back to when she is on the rooftop, and gets a call from Izaya. Afterwards, Celty is chased by people wanting the bounty on her head. Mikado and Anri watch her as she drives by, with Mikado noting how they haven't changed at all. | ||

The two begin to fight, the blonde man takes a brief case from Tom and Shizuo. Shizuo becomes enraged and uses the park bench he and Tom were sitting on as a baseball bat and launched the two out of the park. Shizuo then goes out looking for another attached case to replace the one that the blonde man broke. In the chat-room Kanra asks if everyone is liking the new chat-room and then proceeds to send a link to a video. When Celty gets on she tells everyone that she lost her months pay. Kanra then send a link to a video of Max Sandshelt giving 10 million yen to anyone who would reveal the identity of the headless rider.

At the end of class Mikado is approached by Aoba. Aoba tells Mikado that he is in the Dollars and that he knows that Mikado is in the Dollars as well because he saw him at the Dollars meet up in front of the Tokyo Hands building. Aoba asks Mikado if he can take him on a tour of Ikebukuro. Mikado and Anri are with Erika and Walker in a karaoke bar and they ask them if they can help them with giving Aoba a tour of Ikebukuro. Erika and Walker agree and they start singing karaoke. Anri then heads out and walks past Egor, the tall blonde man. Saika then starts acting up and Shingen tells Anri that he knows about Saika. When Anri asks how he knows Shingen only giver her his card and tells her to call him if she wants to know. Egor puts his hand on Anri's shoulder, she gets scared and moves away. Egor tells her that he has urgent business to take care of with Shingen. Anri then leaves as Shingen and Egor go back to their private room. In Izaya's place Namie tells him how he wanted to be at Seiji's opening ceremony and tells Izaya that his sisters just started as first year students. Izaya explains that he doesn't like his sisters. Namie is then surprised that he despises anyone other than Shizuo. Izaya tells Namie about his sisters eccentric personalities, Namie asks that they might get bullied because of that. Izaya says that if they get bullied, he'd feel sorry for "them". Back at Rira, we see Mairu being bullied, she then pounces on one of the bullies and tells her to point out their "leader". When she points her out Mairu takes her to the bathroom. After this the bullies decide to bully her sister.

Aoba replies to then tauntingly. Then the girls bags catch on fire. After this Aoba's teacher talks to him about the bullies. When Aoba leaves Mairu and Kururi approach him and Kururi thanks him by giving him a kiss, Mairu then kisses Aoba also. Aoba then asks then if they did anything to the bags of the bullies.

In Russia Sushi we see Shinra tending to Egor's wounds. Shinra tells Dennis that he's charging him 200,000 yen for calling him while meeting Ruri. Dennis tells Shinra that he and Egor were in the same organization back in Russia. Mairu and Kururi were also there, they called Izaya to try to get information on Celty but to no avail. When Egor comes to, he confuses Shinra for his father Shingen and tells him that he can't pay for his services. Shinra then calls his father Shingen. Mairu and Kururi pay on Egor's behalf using Celty's money. Back at Kasuka's house, Ruri asks Kasuka if he knew that she was Hollywood, why didn't he call the police. Ruri then gets on top of Kasuka and plans on killing him, but Kasuka has no reaction to that. Shinra asks his father why he hires Egor, his father tells him that it was to apprehend Ruri on Nebula's orders. After hearing that she was beaten by a local, he decided that Ruri isn't worth pursuing. Kasuka then tells Ruri why he became an actor, to become more human since he can't express any emotion. Ruri then cries at the fact that Kasuka is in fact doing the exact opposite of what she wants to do. She then apologizes to Kasuka for trying to kill him. And thanks him for saving her. After Shinra leaves Russia Sushi he is approached by some reporters asking what kind of relationship Kasuka and Ruri have. Shinra then runs off leaving them behind. Kasuka then tells Ruri that he's going to give her to someone to keep her safe. When Shinra gets back home he finds Celty in a sphere of her shadows and the events from the last episode start.
