Hank is stripped of the Zouch name after being labeled an F-rank Beast Master, and a fellow warns that any use of the family name will result in crippling. Classmates escalate by mocking both Hank and the Queen, whose tragic past — a childhood beast tide that left her body damaged and capped at C-rank — is exposed. Despite the humiliation, the Queen says she doesn't mind Hank's rank and offers to bond; they try a small gesture by opening a blind box. The episode ends with them publicly ridiculed, their future and the threat of violence unresolved.
