## Summary

### A REVENGE PLOT AGAINST DESMOND

George Glooman's father, the president of Glooman Pharmaceuticals, speaks to his secretary. He tells him that as of the tenth of next month, he will no longer be president of the company. The secretary mentions the Desmond Group, but the president cuts him off and tells him that the company was in dire straits financially, and he is not sure how he will tell his son that the company will cease to exist in a month. Standing outside the office, George hears all this and is shocked.

A month later, the students of Eden Academy are cleaning the school grounds. Becky Blackbell comments to Anya Forger about how calm things are now that the midterms are over. Their conversation is interrupted, however, by Damian Desmond, who performs a move he calls "Desmond Style Rolling Sweep," which incidentally flings a bunch of dirt into Anya and Becky's faces causing them to cough. Their classmates compliment Damian on his cleaning skills and Stella Star, then propose making a study group with him before the next exam. Becky annoyedly looks at Damian and complains about how obnoxious he is, but Anya says she also wants to go to Damian's study group. Becky teases Anya for having a thing for Damian, which makes Anya wonder what this "thing" is.

Anya suddenly overhears George's thoughts, saying he will never forgive Damian. George questions how Damian got a Stella Star despite having had his butler hire a spy to change Damian's test scores to failing grades. Anya is shocked to learn that the person who hired Daybreak was one of her classmates. Becky asks Anya if she likes Damian, but Anya ignores the question and says she wants to know more about George, making Becky think that Anya will fall for any guy. Becky cautions her to stay away from George because of how gloomy he is.

George is still determined to get Damian expelled, and he pulls out a cigarette butt from his jacket and pretends to pick it up from the ground by Damian. He accuses Damian of smoking and calls over a teacher to report this. Damian grabs George's shoulder and tells him to stop, but George hits and throws himself to the ground to make it look like Damian attacked him. When the teacher asks what happened, George claims that he found the cigarette butt on the ground and got punched by Damian when he called for the teacher.

The teacher demands an explanation from Damian. Emile and Ewen insist that it is a lie, but the teacher does not trust them because he knows how close they are to Damian. Anya comes to Damian's defense and tells the teacher what really happened. Feeling wary of Anya, the teacher leaves and tells the students not to call him over for nonsense again. Becky squeals, believing this is a romantic moment between Anya and Damian. Becky tells Anya that Damian probably knows exactly how she feels now, but Anya is confused while Damian yells in embarrassment.

Damian confronts George and demands to know why he is trying to get him in trouble, but George cries that his whole life is over now. George explains that as of today, his family company is bankrupt, thanks to the Desmond Group driving it out of business. George believed that if he got Damian expelled, his family would be too distracted to mess with Glooman Pharmaceuticals. Regardless of what transpired, George says he will have to leave school as his family will be out on the street tomorrow. George expresses his envy of Damian, but Emile Elman and Ewen Egeburg tell him that Damian's family has nothing to do with his success and that George's unpopularity is his own fault.

George bursts into tears and rants about wanting to spend the springtime of his life at school. Wanting to calm him down, Damian offers to buy him juice. George glares at him but accepts. After finishing the juice, he speaks of his regret of never being able to order the deluxe caviar bowl at the cafeteria. Damian gets George the bowl, and George then says he always wanted to know what it feels like to wear a Stella Star. Damian gets irritated but lets George wear his Stella after he mopes. Afterward, George starts talking about how sad his life will be from now on as a slave in Westalis, but Anya assures him that it will be okay, saying that the West is a peaceful country. Happy that all his classmates are being so nice to him, George bursts into tears, and he makes one last request: to sing the school chorus with everyone. Becky is the first to start singing, and eventually, everyone from Cecile Hall except Anya starts singing the chorus together, dancing in a circle.

At the end of the school day, the Cecile Hall students gift George mementos to remember them. They wish George a tearful farewell and tell him that he will always be a part of Cecile Hall. After getting home, Anya tells Loid and Yor Forger about George and what happened today. Loid wonders aloud how Glooman Pharmaceuticals getting acquired by the Desmond Group is the same as them going bankrupt. After George arrives home, his father tells him that the Desmond Group saved their company, but it also means he would no longer be president of the company. George asks if that means he is still going to school, which his father affirms. When an embarrassed George returns to school the next day, Becky tells him to return everything, Damian tells him to pay back for the juice, and Anya simply pats his shoulder.

### MAMA BECOMES THE WIND

Loid wakes Anya up early for school, but she goes back to sleep right after. Anya ends up oversleeping, and she hurries to get ready. Loid tells her that if she is late or forgets something, she will get punished, and he warns her about getting Tontirus Bolts. Anya makes it in time for her bus, and Loid leaves for work while Yor stays at home to do housework. When she passes by Anya's room, she notices her P.E. uniform still on her desk and assumes that Anya forgot to bring it. Yor then imagines Anya getting expelled from Eden Academy from this and becoming a delinquent. Wanting to avoid this, Yor decides to bring her the uniform. Putting them in a bag, Yor rushes outside but immediately wonders which way is faster to the school. She then spots an empty alleyway and decides to get to the school via parkour.

Yor arrives at Eden and wonders where to find Anya's class. After remembering Loid's warning, Yor realizes she should keep this a secret and look for Anya herself. Suddenly some students walk by, and Yor quickly jumps to the school walls and scales them. Meanwhile, in a classroom, a student tells his classmate about a rumor of a mysterious spider woman climbing their walls. As the other boy dismisses it, he sees the ghastly image of Yor looking for Anya at the window and shrieks in terror. Yor realizes it is not a good idea to stand out, so she paces around the school grounds, wondering what she could do to find Anya. She proposes disguising herself as a teacher, but she changes her mind after imagining herself getting overrun by students asking for help with homework. Yor passes by the school farm and the animals from the entrance exam. The head cow recognizes Yor and bows to her, but accidentally steps on the tail of a pig, which causes a chain reaction of chaos among the animals.

While Yor runs away from the scene, Loid spots her from the school rooftops. He initially assumes that she knew he was faking going to work and had followed him, but notices the bag she is carrying. Yor eventually finds Anya and gives her the P.E. uniform, but, to her shock, Anya tells her that she does not have P.E. today. As Yor leaves the school, Loid catches up with her and asks what she is doing. Yor explains herself, and Loid thanks her. However, Yor laments not being of any help to Anya and not checking her schedule, calling herself a failure as a mother. Loid denies this and worries that her depressed mood will jeopardize the mission, so he invites Yor for lunch before he goes to work, which she happily accepts.
