Synopsis
Norman told the truth about Mujika and he told that she must be killed and to annihilate all the demons because he told that there is no place for them in human world. But Emma make a deal with him. She told that if she will find Mujika and Sonju in 5 days Norman will not proceed to his plan.

Plot
Angrily reacting to Mujika's name, Norman recalls her exploits that span all the way back 700 years. Originally a savior of a now ghost town, she can turn anyone into a non-human-eating demon by fusing her blood through any means and can create demons through her same composition. Word soon spread throughout the demon world, and it became prosperous for a time. However, the king found out, and carried out a genocide of demons who carried Mujika's blood to keep the demons in line and not be overthrown or have any coups from them. These events sparked the human-demon war and The Promise soon after, and Mujika faded away into obscurity, unaware to everyone that she was on the run ever since. Norman berates Emma for her way of thinking, and resolves to kill her and Sonju so nothing stands in the way of his plan, despite Emma's protests to the contrary. Emma tries to find a more pacifist way to deal with it, but Norman shuts down every one of her plans, and reveals that their whole escape was for nothing. He got shipped out, all the gates were destroyed, Minerva and his supporters were all exterminated, and the only way to the human world is right where it all began: Grace Field House, miles underneath it. Deciding that the two were in the way of his plans, he proceeds with his plan, and Emma makes a last-minute deal: She'll find Sonju and Mijuka in a week and he has to stop his plan. After a brief argument with timing, Norman reluctantly agrees and gives his former friends 5 days to find them, else he continues with his plan. He sees them off, and walks with a demon downstairs to the basement, where Vincent, Barbara and Cicero were waiting. He mentions his conversation to them, something Barbara can't come to terms with, and suffers a seizure from the experiments. He declares that the plan is still on and will kill them all when they bring the two demons to him, as he sees the corpse of a large demon. Back at the ruins, Emma confesses her plans to the group, leaving them split on perspective. While they are opposed to her plan, they come together to show Norman that they made it out and survived for a time, and dedicate their efforts to showing him what they did during this time, and decide to find Sonju and Mujika; however, their location leaves them dumbfounded until one of the kids points out that they follow the migrating birds for food, realizing that they're closer than realized. Don and Gilda join Emma and Ray into tracking them down and bringing them to Norman, as well as to keep them out of trouble.

Back at base, however, Norman suffers a coughing fit and remembers the night of his shipment. After seeing blood in his hand, he apologizes to his former friends for an unknown reason.
