Yor's coworkers are dining in a restaurant and expressing how jealous they are of Yor being on a luxury cruise, but Sharon reminds the others she's actually working. Meanwhile, on the ship, the Director has to remind Yor not to look nervous, or it will attract attention, and Furseal tries to enjoy his meal, but his nerves don't allow him to taste the food. After dinner, Yor takes Shaty back to Cabin 3085, and the Director takes the two civil servants and Furseal to a bar. In the Greys' cabin, Yor tells Olka that the plan is that on the third day of the cruise, they will tell the civil servants that the Greys don't want to be disturbed so as to transfer into the escape boat, and Yor and Olka talk about their families, where Yor asks Olka to let Gram play outside as much as possible once they're safe and Olka asks Yor to have fun with her family when the ship stops on an island resort. Meanwhile, Anya and Loid have dinner in the 3rd class restaurant, where Anya says it's lonely not having Yor join them for dinner.
Once the Director takes his companions out of the bar, he spots a suspicious-looking man and tells the others he forgot something. The man sets up an ambush, but the Director grabs him and interrogates him by breaking a few bones, and the man reveals that he is one of several assassins hired by Leonardo Hapoon, who promised them all a reward for being the first to kill the Gretchers. After killing him, the Director dumps the assassin's body out a porthole and tells the civil servants that Furseal is about to soil himself so he must take him back to his cabin. As they walk, the Director gets mad at Zeb for calling his parents to say his last goodbyes, since that phone call tipped off Hapoon as to where and how the Gretchers were escaping.
Back in Cabin 3085, Olka puts Gram to sleep, when she and Yor hear a knock, that is not from the Director, but Yor confirms it's from the room service, which Olka didn't order, and an assassin empties a silenced pistol mag through the door. As the assassin reloads, the Director briefly distracts him with darts he stole from the bar, and Yor eliminates him by throwing a dagger through the door. Inside the cabin, the Director tells them that Hapoon knows the Gretchers are on the ship and orders Yor to escort the Gretchers to another cabin, while he cleans the mess in Cabin 3085. Snoops, in his control room, tells his assassins that the Gretchers are likely being escorted by a Garden assassin, and one of the killers says that considering how much more difficult this makes the job, rather than competing for the prize of single-handedly killing the Gretchers, they should all work together and split the money. When one assassin suggests they just kill all the women with babies on board, he's killed by the others who insist they are assassins, not murderers, and such an action would just attract too much attention, especially with all the celebrities and VIPs' onboard (not to mention people who are valuable customers of their client), and dump the corpse overboard.
After leaving the original cabin, Yor escorts the Gretchers through a masked ball where she knocks out one would-be assassin with a button, and knocks another unconscious after breaking his hands and telling him she can't dance because she's a married woman. As Yor leads her clients out of the masked ball, Loid takes Anya shopping, makes a mental note of all the electronic bugs he's found, and thinks the ship is teeming with suspicious passengers. Anya asks Loid to buy her a skeleton key chain, but when Loid says no, she throws a tantrum, and when other passengers see her, Loid starts to freak out that not being a doting father may get him arrested by the SSS as a spy. As Anya starts feeling remorse because she's making Loid nervous, she overhears an assassin on his way to confront Yor and the Greys, and Anya fears that if Loid sees her fighting an enemy assassin, Loid will divorce her and they'll get rid of Anya. To keep Loid from finding out, she convinces him to try on some clothes, and while he's in the dressing room, the assassin uses his chain-based weapon and Yor gets ready to confront him.
The episode includes the following Tropes:
- Annoyingly Repetitive Child: Anya makes a scene and screams repeatedly "I want it, I want it!" when Loid refuses to buy her the skeleton key chain she so desperately desires.
- Booked Full of Mooks: After killing a would-be assassin, the Director realizes that Leonardo Hapoon hired several assassins who are skulking aboard Lorelei looking for their chance to kill the surviving Gretchers, and claim the prize money Hapoon promised. Meanwhile, Loid thinks that the SSS is keeping tabs on the VIPs considering the number of bugs he's noticed, and he's also wary of all the suspicious passengers he's spotted.
- Carnival of Killers: Hapoon hires a gang of assassins to kill the Gretchers, and promises them a grand prize of 400,000 dalc (or 128,000,000 yen) for whomever does it first. However, when they find out a Garden assassin is working as the Gretchers' bodyguard, they decide to pool their talents and share the payout once the Gretchers are eliminated.
- Cliffhanger: Anya sneaks out of the gift shop just in time to see her mother battle Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby.
- Colliding Criminal Conspiracies: Defied. To maximize his chances of eliminating the Gretcher Crime family once and for all, Leonardo Hapoon hired several assassins to kill Olka and her baby, Gram, and promised that whoever killed them first would get the payout. However, after finding out that the Gretchers are being protected by a Garden operative, one of the assassins tells the others in a meeting that they should all work together and share the prize money instead.
- Description Cut: After noticing that the entire ship is bugged, Loid concludes that it's best to keep a low profile. Cut to Anya making a scene by rolling on the floor in front of everyone demanding Loid to buy her the keychain.
- Didn't Think This Through: Anya's plan of having Loid try on everything the gift shop has to offer almost backfires when she remembers that he's a Master of Disguise who can change outfits in a flash. Thankfully, he's stalled because the clothing options he has to work with horribly clash with one another.
- Disposing of a Body: Being on the high seas, assassins of both sides just dump the corpses overboard.
- Holding the Floor: After Anya discovers that a rival assassin is about to confront Yor, she tells Loid to try on some clothes so he won't see Yor fighting and dissolve the Forger family.
- I Work Alone: Barnaby detests the idea of working with the other assassins to kill their targets and plans on attacking them directly.
- Imagine Spot:
- Loid has one where he gets arrested by the SSS for not being a doting father, as that's a sign he's an enemy spy.
- Soon after Loid's, Anya has two in rapid succession, where she imagines Loid finding out Yor is an assassin and demands a divorce, as well as getting rid of Anya.
- Improbable Weapon User:
- In one of her Imagine Spots, Anya imagines Barnaby attacking her mom with a killer frog.
- Yor rips one of the buttons off Zeb's suit and throws it with such precision and force as to incapacitate an assassin lurking in the room during the masquerade ball.
- Insistent Terminology: After one assassin suggests they just kill all the women with babies, two other assassins stab him and make it clear that they are assassins, not murderers, and they don't fancy the idea of attracting too much attention to themselves.
- Jabba Table Manners: Anya pigs out while eating at a buffet, much to her father's embarrassment.
- Masquerade Ball: There is one on the Lorelei at the time Yor and the Gretchers escape. As a result, they wear the appropriate masks to the scene in order to mix in.
- Mood Whiplash: The episode frequently cuts between Yor protecting the Gretchers from some intense close calls with the Carnival of Killers and Loid trying to handle Anya's erratic behavior during their cruise adventure.
- Never Got to Say Goodbye: Averted. After the Director kills an enemy assassin, he asks Zeb if he knows how Hapoon got wind of the plan to smuggle him, Olka, and Gram out of Ostania; Zeb remembers calling his parents three days before to say goodbye since he would never see them again. The Director gets mad as that phone call is what tipped off Hapoon, implying Zeb's phone was bugged.
- Old Master: The Director seems to be in his early seventies, but he manages to effortlessly get the information he needs from an enemy assassin by breaking his arms and legs and disabling the hands of a gunman with some darts he stole from a bar.
- Pinned to the Wall: After the Director disables a gunman's hands with some darts he stole from the bar, Yor throws a dagger that goes through the assassin's skull and keeps him upright by keeping him stuck to the wall.
- Poisoned Weapons: The first assassin at the Masquerade Ball attempts to strike Olka with a poisoned needle. His Killing Intent was discovered by Yor and he was quickly neutralized by...throwing a button at him, causing him to fall unconscious.
- Potty Emergency: The excuse Director uses to hurry Zeb back to Olka's room after realizing they're facing a Carnival of Killers.
- Room Disservice: An assassin attempts to kill the Gretchers by masquerading as a room-service delivery sailor.
- Sickening "Crunch!": The Director gets information from an assassin trying to set an ambush by breaking several bones when the assassin doesn't answer his questions fast enough, and finishes him off by breaking his neck. In the masquerade ball, Yor uses her strength to break the hands of an assassin that she was "dancing" with before knocking him unconscious.
- Simple Solution Won't Work: After an assassin suggests they just kill all women with a baby on the Lorelei, the other assassins state that killing indiscriminately would attract too much attention, especially with all the VIPs' onboard, and dump his corpse after killing him. This is not to mention some of these people are the assassins' customers as well.
- Spotting the Thread: As Loid takes Anya shopping, he notices that there are bugs all over the ship, and thinks that there's too many suspicious-acting passengers aboard.
- Torture Always Works: The Director captures a would-be assassin and finds out that Leonardo Hapoon, the main rival of the Gretcher Crime Family, hired several assassins to kill Olka and Gram by breaking his arms and legs.
