EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off 'The Worst Trio Possible,' where Soji and his newly formed team were tested by significant challenges, Episode 5 introduces a powerful exorcist whose presence reshapes the group's dynamics and expands the show's supernatural rulebook. Sitting just before the season's midpoint, this episode bridges the early team-building phase into a more dangerous second act by establishing the friction between traditional exorcism and modern cyberkinesis. It sets the stage for escalating battles and deeper conflicts that will define the back half of the season.
