## Plot

Bridget continues to try and open Gabriel’s father’s book, but as she does so, a picture slips out of the book. The picture is of Joel and two other men. On the back of the picture are the last names; Murray, Kramer, and Turner. Bridget sees that one of the men in the picture looks like William Kramer and begins to suspect that Joel may be connected with the Kramer Corporation. Bridget and Gabriel go to Kramer HQ but are stopped by security. As they are being escorted out, a young woman stops them and tells the security to let them come in.

Elsewhere, Nico sits atop a building and looks at a picture of him and his sister with their parents. He has a flashback of him and his sister Kaori grieving over their mother’s passing due to cancer. Before his mother dies, she tells him to take care and always protect his sister. As Kaori cries, Nico gives her his necklace and tells her that it will bring her eternal happiness. In present day, he looks at the necklace and clinches it. He looks up at the sky and tells his mother that he failed her as Isaac confronts him. Isaac tells Nico that they are both alike, they weren’t able to protect the ones they love. Isaac says that he can relate to losing a mother, but Nico carries the burden of losing both of his parents and will soon lose his sister. Nico gets in Isaac’s face and tells him that he’ll save his sister no matter what or who is in the way. Isaac tells him that he wants Nico to save his sister, he doesn’t want to see anymore death caused. Isaac then asks Nico for a favor; he wants Nico to take out a Rogue Phantom. In return, he’ll be rewarded. Nico declines, saying that he is only interested in collecting the Eyecons. Nico leaves before Isaac can tell him what the reward was, the Grimm Eyecon.

At Kramer HQ, Gabriel explains to the woman that his father used to work with William Kramer. The woman says that many people have “worked with” William Kramer, but Gabriel then says his father’s name and she takes them to William’s office. Once they get there, it is revealed that the woman is William’s daughter, Valerie and Gabriel talks to William while Valerie shows Bridget around Kramer Corp.’s Tech facility. William tells Gabriel that him and Joel went to college together and founded the Canyon City Ghost Hunters along with their other friend, Nolan Turner. He says that Joel died a hero as he helped everyone escape the collapsing house. Sacrificing himself in the process. Gabriel then shows William one of the Blank Eyecons and William says that they were researching them before Joel had passed. He then says that they never was able to figure out what they were meant to be used for.

In the Tech Facility, Valerie tells Bridget about the technology in Kramer Corp. Bridget shows her knowledge of technology and Valerie is impressed and offers her a job. Bridget says that she has other responsibilities at the moment. Valerie tells her to come back anytime when she’s ready. Bridget notices a door that has a red light shining from it, but before she can ask what it is, shattering of glass is heard downstairs. Bridget and Valerie goes downstairs to see what it was, only to find numerous security guards on the ground. Valerie asks one of them what happened, and he says that some invisible thing attacked them. Bridget thinks it’s a Phantom and texts Gabriel. Gabriel tells William that he has to go, and William gives him his number before he leaves. Gabriel looks outside and sees a trail of destruction and follows it as he transforms.

As Bridget looks on, her spirit detector alerts her that an Eyecon Spirit is near and follows it. Gabriel fights the Phantom and the Phantom transforms into its giant form. Gabriel races after it on the Storm Lizard. Gabriel catches the Phantom in the same location Bridget found the Eyecon Spirit of Billy the Kid. Bridget throws Gabriel a blank Eyecon to catch the spirit, but it’s intercepted by Kamen Rider SIN. SIN is about to gain the Spirit’s power, but a distraction from Bridget causes Gabriel to strike SIN. Gabriel grabs the Eyecon and gains the Spirit’s power. The Phantom shoots a blast at Bridget, but SIN stands in front of Bridget and takes the blast. Geist defeats the Phantom using the powers of Billy the Kid. SIN attempts to fight Geist but is to injured to do so. Bridget asks SIN why he saved her. SIN doesn’t answer him as leaves.

At Kramer HQ, the man who recorded Gabriel gives the recording to William Murray. He sees that Gabriel is Kamen Rider Geist, proving his theory. The man, Ken, asks if he should take him out as he transforms in a Phantom. William tells him not yet; he then says that Geist will gather all the Eyecons and they’ll make a move then. Ken then asks, “What about your son and brother?”, in which William replies that his son will soon discover his uncle’s true colors. William then says as for his brother, he’s a danger to everything they worked for and must be captured as he transforms into Phantom.
