What happens in this episode
This installment advances Monster through investigation, consequence, and character pressure rather than disposable filler. PopRot is using the structured episode title/synopsis data available for this entry and rewriting it into original wording, so this recap intentionally avoids unsupported scene details when the source summary is brief.
The practical viewing takeaway: track which characters gain new information, which past decisions resurface, and how Tenma’s moral burden changes after this chapter.
