Aoi demonstrating a uxorial emphasis on properly aligning her leader's tie prior to boarding the westbound Shinkansen to her hometown Kyoto gives way to the disheartening revelation that Minamoto has been charged convergent criminal quarry navigation as the Comerican clarivoyant Ken approaches the pair having misunderstood that he is to carry his shoes (which Kaoru and Shiho encounter back in Tokyo) into the train. Upon arriving in Kyoto, the warm greeting that Aoi's junior brother Yuuki quickly turning frigid and dangerous due to Aoi's father Daisaku misunderstanding Aoi's affectionate description of Minamoto gives way to Ken and Minamoto disagreeing on whether to solicit Aoi's navigation assistance for their mission: apprehension an esper vandal called Clyde Barou that sees historical landmarks as his personal canvas. Minamoto lashing out at Ken before turning his frustration on Aoi becomes a horrible mistake when Ken detects that Clyde is on the move. Fujiko and the Comerican esper squad being of no utility, it falls upon Minamoto and Ken to take action alongside Aoi. When Clyde turns the tables on her during the first battle, Minamoto gives Aoi a quick lesson in navigating around using her esper powers and reminds her that she has done well on her own in combat. Aoi challenges and successfully defeats Clyde as he is computing his next desecration. A flashback of Aoi's workaholic father regretting his very poor government of Aoi when Kaoru barged into his office to confront him (and Shiho cooling her down thereafter) gives way to the present where Aoi comes back into the room to announce the arrival of Fujiko-tachi (Fujiko with Natsuko and Hotaru in convoy) joining the Nogami-ke banquet. As Aoi laments her plans being extinguished, Shiho is inspiring Kaoru to ignite a plan of her own upon Dr. Sakaki . .

Rare delicacies! Touch Me If You Can

While Aoi is helping Minamoto and Ken to wrap things up in Kyoto, Dr. Sakaki is arriving at Minamoto's Tokyo apartment expecting to impress Oboro into a dinner-and-movie date but finds that Oboro is rushing back to B.A.B.E.L. Headquarters citing the drama in Kyoto from the previous episode. After she gets over the euphoria of winning the race (and conking Dr. Sakaki on the head with a game controller), Kaoru's full-blown temper tantrum and accusation of Shiho of losing the race on purpose prompts Sakaki to advise Shiho to hold back a bit from commenting on what comes to mind. Shiho is about to riposite her perspective on Sakaki's advice when Kaoru suggests that Sakaki and Shiho race against each other, the duration thereof defined by lots of psychometric trash-talking -- and Sakaki losing to Shiho's concentration and his overconfidence. Shiho psychometrically teaching herself how to use the fishing pole to catch the quarry fish on the first try (to the astonishment of Sakaki who is a veteran angler) gives way to an encounter with Dr. Sakaki's old instructor from Touto University that teaches Shiho to turn her back on ignorance and morally be the bigger woman as Sakaki tends to the seasick Kaoru before seeing to the Professor who is bleeding internally from a ruptured spleen. As he operates on the Professor, Sakaki explains to Shiho (who is grossed out by all the blood/gore) that psychometric inspection is not the same as actual viewing before confessing that he is envious of Shiho's fortune. Sakaki tells Shiho that Minamoto is the one normal that could understand/celebrate him for the person he is and that she is lucky that she can be a kid thanks to having Minamoto to intercede for her when/how appropriate. Professor Saisen's ruptured spleen being successfully repaired (along with the misunderstanding between the two) gives way to Dr. Sakaki and Shiho preparing the fish that they caught as a welcome-home dinner for Aoi and Minamoto.
