The episode begins with Minos and Beth eating the lobsters Jashin caught, and Minos tries to invite Yurine to join them, but she politely declines. Later, during a fleeting Christmas celebration, Jashin teases poor Pekora under the pretense of being hungry, ruining the little food she had, and mocks her for being a weak, fallen angel. (The good news is that Yurine caught her and rips off her ear, and before taking Jashin away to feed him to Beth) she gives Pekora a little fried chicken (How exciting). At night, we also see the silver-haired fairy collapsing, weakened, onto the ground as she tries to search for Jashin amidst the snow and human indifference. Later, during the day, Jashin does exercises, trusting her abs to withstand Yurine hitting her; however, with just one blow, Yurine knocks her out. Then Yusa comes to visit along with her sister Kori/Koji as a thank-you for Yurine taking care of her. Here, Yusa mentions that “Ice Devils” like her and her sister are born looking like Koji when they’re little, until they turn 15. However, the spiteful and arrogant Jashin kept bothering Koji, provoking Yusa’s fury. (Good thing the older sister taught Jashin a lesson for being a bully.) Here comes a funny moment where we see Beth hesitating to eat the giant shaved ice in the garden while “Devil A” takes advantage of every bite, even freezing in the process. (Everything’s fine, right? Well, it turns out to be Yusa’s lemon flavor (AAAH!!!!)). The next day, Medusa gives Jashin some money, but she complains because she didn't want Yurine to see her. Yurine tries to make Medusa see reason, telling her she shouldn't be fooled or give Jashin money, but Jashin knows no bounds. Yurine tries to make Medusa understand that Jashin isn’t responsible, but Medusa hesitates, causing Jashin to call her a traitor for trusting someone she met recently over her childhood friend of thousands of years, leading to a falling-out. Jashin starts to feel bad (until she says that Medusa is her precious “ATM,” which stands for “Automatic Teller Machine”). Then, after drinking so much she gains weight, she goes looking for Medusa in tears, and they end up reconciling by parodying the final scene of Evangelion (it’s definitely CINEMA for this tenderly toxic relationship). Jashin starts feeling bad (until he says that Medusa is his precious “ATM,” which stands for “Automatic Teller Machine”). Then, after drinking heavily until he gets drunk, he goes looking for Medusa in tears, and they end up reconciling by parodying the final scene of Evangelion (it’s definitely CINEMA). Happy ending or bad ending, it’s an ending, and that’s that.
