Original Summary

Detailed What-Happens Recap
Episode 22 advances Black Cat by pushing Train and his circle through a case, confrontation, or reveal tied to the larger split between ordinary sweeper work and the dangerous world of Chronos and Tao users. PopRot’s recap focuses on the verified episode premise and the character stakes rather than copying database prose.
The important viewing lens is how the episode tests freedom versus control: Train’s old life, Sven’s protective judgment, Eve’s agency, or Creed’s influence usually shapes what the action means beyond a single fight.
