Hugh reveals to everyone that thieves were actually remnants of Team Plasma that have returned. He also reveals that one of the girls in the class is a member of Team Plasma and presents a pendant containing a picture of N he found as proof. Hugh tells everyone that he plans to leave the Trainers' School to continue his pursuit of Team Plasma, but is stopped by Whitley, who was keeping herself hidden. The class, finding Whitley's behavior suspicious, begin to suspect she may be the person Hugh was talking about, but are put to sleep by Foongy's spores.

Yuko, Cheren, Roxie, and the class later awaken at the Marine Tube.

Benga reveals that he and Marlon took everyone to safety after finding everyone lying unconscious just after witnessing Castelia being frozen by Team Plasma's flying ship, the Plasma Frigate. While Cheren discusses how to deal with Team Plasma with the others, Yuko, Maya, and Yuki assist N's Zorua, who had disguised itself as Whitley to fool the class into thinking she never left. Though they remembered Hugh's earlier claims, the three choose to believe that Whitley isn't a member of Team Plasma under the assumption that she wouldn't be there helping everyone if she was.
