Shotaro and Phillip make it to the hospital, and they finally meet Yamashiro... for the last time. He admits to his fault for everything he's caused, and makes sure to tell Phillip what his real name is. ''Sonozaki Raito''. Which Phillip had heard from Saeko a while back, but this pretty much confirms that ''Wakana was his own sister all along.'' Phillip finally finds his resolve and decides to find Wakana... which would mean breaking up Kamen Rider W for good. There's just a little time left, he could still make it...
Except it's already too late. Ryubei made his move first, heading to the train station first and taking Wakana back by force. By the time Phillip gets there, Wakana has been returned... but she's not herself. She's realised her place in the big plan, the fact that not only Museum but ''the fate of the world'' has been entrusted to her. Without any further warning, she jacks in as Claydoll and moves in for the kill...
Fortunately Shotaro's just as quick to act, and Phillip manages to activate Double [=FangJoker=] just in time. There's no time for further explanation though, as Double has to deal with a whole mob of Masquerade Dopants as well, allowing Claydoll to make herself scarce.
There's no happy ending this week. They failed to save Yamashiro, Phillip doesn't know what he's about anymore, and Wakana announces to Jun Kazu that Foundation X's business is with ''her'' now. At least Phillip's not leaving anymore, and that counts for a lot.

At the same time, [[HeroicBSOD Phillip is not faring any better]], which leads Akiko to shake him out of his funk by going back to taking those staff photos.

It's Wakana on the line, except this time her voice is one of fear ''and'' desperation, as she asks Phillip to leave with her immediately like he promised.
At the same time, we learn why Jun Kazu really needed that hotel room - he's recovered Saeko from the canal and allowed her to recuperate, whereupon she scrabbles around desperately for her stuff... but the Taboo Memory's back in the mansion and her Dopant Driver is completely trashed. She's got nothing left... except possibly this fellow in white, who convinces her that he's here to help. Even if he ''[[TheStoic really]]'' doesn't have the face for it. We also see Yamashiro still in police custody, with Ryu's interrogation reaching a dead end for now, as Makura gives no help whatsoever.

The kidnapping case did indeed happen, but Yamashiro was seduced by the potential of medical and scientific advancement, and chose to work with them of his own accord.

Phillip decides to bite the bullet and run a search for anything Museum... which causes the Gaia Library to go haywire, bookshelves smashing to pieces and forcing him out, emptyhanded. Ryu also brings up the fact that Sonozaki Ryubei has been under suspicion a few times, but the evidence was conveniently lacking - the implications being that Sonozaki Ryubei has been manipulating all forms of media and information, and ''even the Gaia Library''. Unfortunately, poring their attention in this direction left them with only Akiko available to keep an eye on Yamashiro, which works as well as you'd expect, as Yamashiro slips off on his own.
Our story leads right into another important [[TheReveal reveal]] as the creepy chick is shown shmoozing up to Sonozaki Ryubei himself (turns out he takes those fried crickets too, who knew?) until the Smilodon Dopant shows up, presenting Saeko's Taboo Memory to him. Which makes the creepy chick look very bad indeed, while Wakana, seeing just the Taboo Memory, and immediately assumes the worst. There's nothing more that Ryubei can say at this point, except remind Wakana that she still has her part to play. And there's nothing much for Wakana to do either, except try to contact Phillip before it's too late... except Phillip's not sure if he wants to meet her anymore.

But Yamashiro still won't say anything - until Terui Ryu also appears at the door, having been sought by Shotaro for some assisted digging. The truth of the matter was, Yamashiro and the others were forcefully kidnapped and made to participate in an unknown project by some shadowy organisation. And Yamashiro finally cracks under the pressure, naming Museum and the Sonozaki family as the culprits - naturally implicating Wakana as well.
Wakana's busy with other stuff for the time being. Like that radio show of course, where she conveniently finishes a session just as her phone goes off. This time it's ''Saeko'' of all people, fed up with being hunted like a dog for what they perceived as her 'betrayal' (which basically amounts to 'not dying with Isaka'), and now poised to take it out on Ryubei and Wakana. She doesn't even notice that Wakana is more concerned with how her sister is doing, before hanging up. Sadly Saeko's 'revenge' is rudely interrupted by ''the Smilodon Dopant'' finding her, ready to take her out, and succeeds in beating her as Taboo Dopant, forcing her back to normal and into the drink. Which is when the man in white shows up...

When Wakana is unable to say much of anything after that, Phillip thinks he finally has her figured out... and calls her phone again. Turns out that humble little wireless line was the only real way to get through to her, and sure enough, she's finally able to talk about what she really wants - which in this case involves getting away from everything, with Phillip, forever and ever. And Phillip takes her up on the offer.

There's not much investigating one can do in this weather, so Shotaro's playing darts while Akiko busies herself with setting up the Narumi Detective Agency's official website. Which involves taking staff photos, of course, so Shotaro gets roped in unwillingly once again. Ironically, some business comes their way despite the weather, in the form of an elderly man who's soaked to the skin, and somehow gets into frame by complete accident. Unfortunately Shotaro and Akiko don't even notice him coming in, and it's not until they check how the photo came out to they get ''[[SpookyPhotographs scared shitless]]''.

Meanwhile, Phillip heads out to find Wakana anyways, and they finally meet face to face - or not, as Wakana hasn't hung up on his phone yet, choosing to carry on talking to each other ''exactly'' as they always have. She finally reveals what's been happening to her - big sister disappearing, and father pushing some kind of huge responsibility onto her, all of which clues Phillip in to the fact that ''Wakana has been part of Museum all along''. The fact that Wakana is before him saying that she'd rather carry on with her radio show makes it even harder for Phillip to process everything, and he outright admits to her that he knows how the Sonozaki family and the Dopant Memory incidents are related. At the same time, Shroud finally shows her face (in a manner of speaking), admonishing Ryu in his momentary defeat, basically shrugging off Ryu's claim that Isaka warned all of them against her.

Fortunately, Terui Ryu just happens to chance upon the scene, see her KO Watcherman with those boots, and prepares to bring her in. Unfortunately he's in for a slightly bigger fight than he'd counted on, as she brings out her own Dopant Memory and jacks in, turning into the Hopper Dopant.

At the same time, Shotaro's sleuthing drags something important, as Watcherman gives him a vital lead on the man's identity. With that out of the way, Watcherman is about to go on with his own business when that creepy chick from the hotel shows up in front of him. Unlike the last time though, [[IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam Watcherman finds the fried crickets quite palatable]]... then she asks him about the man in a photo she's holding. ''It's that man again.'' And Watcherman makes the mistake of backing off... which causes the girl to get violent. And those taser prongs on her boots pack quite a bite.

* RetCon: Wakana actually seeing Phillip for herself would confirm that he was her long-lost brother all along, but starting from this week, it's no longer a thing, even when Saeko already knows and Ryuubei has kept mum about it.

Over at the Sonozaki mansion, that big ol' dining table of theirs is starting to look a ''lot'' bigger now that there's just two people left. Ryuubei can tell Wakana is getting quite shaken up from this, and not just from the business with her Dopant Driver, which has conveniently passed. Yes, things are changing, but in far bigger ways than this, says Ryuubei, as they are about to meet up with people from the group that's been soliciting the Sonozaki Museum's Gaia Memory project - and possibly several others as well.
'''Foundation X'''. That name will become very important down the line.
True enough, a man in an ominous white suit shows up in town the following morning, and checks into a hotel - but not before coming across this ''utterly creepy'' chick in a lacy black outfit, purple wig and box of fried crickets she's eating for a snack. He drops his room key from the shock, which is the only way he shows it.
Back at Narumi Detective Agency, Shotaro is out sleuthing while Akiko is trying to get a staff photo of Phillip as well, when the man returns - and gets the exact same surprise as before, which only Phillip catches, again. There's no time to dwell on this now, as Phillip gets a call from Wakana - whose voice shows ''utter fear''. Which is when another piece of the puzzle reveals itself, as the man warns Phillip not to meet with her. And ''he still won't say anything''.

It's all settled easily enough - the man is just here to enlist their help in finding his family again. He's not saying how he left them, or much of anything. All they know is, he gets a much bigger surprise at seeing Phillip here than any person logically would.
