In this episode, the Invokers from Esca gear up for a best-of-five battle using a pool of random Aberrants, but face severe disadvantages due to Esca's lack of known Aberrants. The opposing Bloomshire team shows their strength, revealing a spy within Esca’s unit and boasting powerful Aberrants, including a top fighter Alaric Ashford with the feared Wine Demon. Esca’s team is forced to summon unfamiliar and dangerous Aberrants like the dreaded Slit-Mouthed Woman, known to strike back fiercely if compatibility is low. As the fight begins, Esca's team confronts overwhelming odds, with a looming threat of deadly defeat.
