A Neuroi takes refuge in a mountain on the island of Delos and threatens Allied shipping in the region. Lucchini and Yeager are on leave at Lucchini's family vineyard in Sicily, when they are called to Crete to participate in an operation led by Field Marshall Ernst Rommel's Afrika Corps. Lucchini and Yeager will be joined in the operation by Storm Witches Captain Hanna-Justina Marseille and Ensign Raisa Pöttgen, where they will defend a Venezian fleet while they level the island and the Neuroi along with it. Lucchini strongly protests against this actions as Delos was the first place her family went on vacation and contains priceless ancient Greek ruins. Rommel agrees and allows the Witches a chance to destroy the Neuroi before the Venezian fleet attacks the following day. This fails, but Yeager notices a wrecked cargo ship not far from the cave the Neuroi is hiding. The following day, Yeager speeds ahead of the main attack force and locates a winch and chain on the ship and uses to yank the Neuroi out of its hiding spot. The battery fails, but Rommel lands on the ship himself and provides the power needed to pull out the Neuroi and allow the Venezians to destroy it. Afterwards Lucchini takes Yeager, Marseille, and Pottgen on a tour of the island and they admire statues of ancient witches.
Tropes in this episode:
- The Bus Came Back: Hanna-Justina Marseille returns for the first time since her last appearance in "500 Overs".
- Continuity Nod: Like in "500 Overs", Marseille takes a bath with one of her comrades (in this case, it's Pöttgen) and she still retains her rivalry with Shirley.
- Foregone Conclusion: Regardless of what happens, Francesca and Shirley will help the Venezians destroy the Neuroi in Delos and remain in Romagna.
- Heroic BSoD: All Francesca can do is sit on the steps in tears when the Witches' first attempt to destroy the Neuroi in Delos fails.
- Oh, Crap!:
- Emiliana and Francesca are visibly shocked when they learn about the Neuroi's invasion of Delos.
- Shirley and Francesca, when they realize the Afrika Corps' intentions of obliterating Delos and the Neuroi with it.
- Photo Montage: Shortly before Francesca and Shirley eat Emiliana's zuppa de pesce, there's a brief photo montage of Francesca when she was a child.
