Bait is the twenty-second chapter of The Promised Neverland manga. It is adapted into episode 7 of the anime.

Plot
The chapter starts with Ray, Norman, Emma, Don and Gilda discussing their plans. After they have completed their discussion, Norman demands that he has something to tell Ray.

Later, in their room, Ray finds out that Krone figured out about the transmitters.

Ray shows them an instant camera which was delivered to him through Mama. He says the way to destroy the transmitters is complete. After that, Ray tells them to go to Krone to make a deal.

Doing laundry, Krone thinks of how Emma's team found out about how to destroy the transmitters. She then decides to search a bit.

The next scene involves Phil singing along the stairs. He noticed a door opened, and went to check on it. He saw Krone searching for something in a drawer and asks her about the situation. Krone smiles and says she's 'just looking for something'. Phil seems unsatisfied with the answer, but nonetheless he goes along with it.

After Phil leaves, Krone gets angry because she finds nothing. She wonders if she was wrong. Due to Ray's wits, luckily, she didn't find any evidence.

Ray tells Emma and Norman about his secret place to hide stuff. It was currently Alicia's area in the room. He also told that he left a 'juicy morsel' for Krone to find.

Krone finds it, and sees a paper. She is shocked to see what is written on it, and decides to use it as a weapon to destroy Isabella by showing it to Grandma, if this is however true. She thinks that there is a way to confirm it.

While in the kitchen, children are preparing for lunch. Ray thinks the paper is the best way to distract Krone and split Mama's attention.

The scene goes back to Krone reading a book and confirms it is actually true. Krone rejoices at finding out the perfect Isabella's second weakness. If everything goes well, she could bring down Isabella and ship out Emma's team. She is happy to have the paper by her side. But suddenly, she worries about how Ray even knows this in the first place. She hears a knock on the door and hides everything immediately. After that, she opens the door to find Isabella smiling at her.

Isabella gave her a letter from the Headquarters. Krone sweats as she reads the letter. She becomes heavily shocked. Isabella then smiles evilly and tells her farewell.
