Ling and her friends talk to the Pink Knight (whom they've come to nickname PK) saying how there have been so many sex offender students expelled in recent weeks and it is making a difference. While PK is happy to hear her work has had a positive impact they also inform her that there's been another issue that has come to light she may be able to help with. Now that the incidents have been dealt with more and more girls have found the courage to come forward about being harnessed. Namely a professor on campus Prof. Hinkley who is rumored to demand sexual favors from female students who come to him struggling in his class and tends to demand they wear revealing clothing and pay him special attention. The girls have tried to get iron clad evidence on him and put their information in the school paper and such by the Dean constantly ignores or rejects their accusations because he and Hinkley are friends. Hearing this PK leaves in a hurry to look into their claims and take action. Ling and her friends are left wondering what she plans to do exactly but hopeful she can improve things further. As they leave the ally however a hooded figure is seen off to the side having been watching the whole time.
A short time later at his office Prof. Hinkley is talking to a girl on the phone saying she should be at his house one night showing he's collecting his latest favor from another student. As he finished his call however the Pink Knight arrives behind him and confronts him after the call ends. Hinkley demands she leave and tries to call campus security but she uses Magic to bind him and force him away from the desk bond into his chair. While he is bound she reads his mind and memory where she sees a scene of him talking with the Dean about the complaint he received about his sexual harassment. Rather than berate and condemn him for it the Dean says how he though he taught him better. Its shown that not only is the Dean purposely overlooking the accusations but he seems to be in on a conspiracy that promotes these behaviors of sexual harassments. The Dean simply tells him to be more careful and that they don't need "another family to pay to keep quiet". Shocked at what she's seen PK begins to levitate and transform Hinkley saying they'll make a deal. Hinkley begins to see his body transform and begs to make it stop and that she's made her point but PK stands firm and tells him that he'll be forced to continue his career on this campus as a woman named Diana Hinkley and like the other students she's already transformed he'll only change back when he's at home off campus so his personal life won't be effected. Hinkley sees her transformation finish and demands to be changed back saying there is nothing wrong with the ethics on campus and within the staff but naturally PK disagrees. Just as Diana's transformation finishes the hooded figure is visible in the bushes out the window and Jessica sees the flash from them teleporting away and worries about being spotted. Before Diana can argue anymore PK teleports away.
The Pink Knight returns to the rooftop where she's placed her Memory Barrier control and begins to add the altered memory of Prof. Hinkley to it along with the others. As she is adding it however the cloaked figure appears behind her again shown now to not only be cloaked but also wearing some kind of Mana Armor mask with white glowing eyes similar to hers. PK is quick to sense the other presence on the rood turns to see them around a corner. She then confronts the intruder demanding they reveal themselves. The Cloaked figures eyes shimmer and chime with magic narrowing on PK.
