As Rivera continues her anti-Ryuga propaganda, Burai finally comes up with a method to detect the Mad? Horrors but needs a sample from a live one to complete it once Aguri returns with the crystal required for the sequence. As Burai suspects Rivera to a Mad? Horror, he has Rian infiltrate Vol TV to pose as Rivera's hairdresser and confirm their suspicions when she sneaked into the makeup room and found capsules holding human souls. Once Rian sends her findings to Burai, she finds her cover blown as Rivera calls Ryuga out. Once the new broadcast is over, having all the humans leave with her magic, Rian learns Rivera's true feelings for the people as she finds herself in a losing battle against the Mad? Horror. Luckily, Ryuga arrives before Rivera could eat Rian as she kicks the girl away. Managing to take Kazami's gun from Ryuga turning their fight, Rivera admits that she killed him before shooting the Makai Knight multiple times in the chest. However, learning that Rian and Takeru have filmed the event to make it look like she murdered him in cold blood, Rivera finds that Ryuga placed a charm on his person to protect him from the bullets. Assuming her Horror form, Rivera battles Garo before running off when he sliced her tongue off for Rin to procure. As Rivera vows revenge on Ryuga for destroying her livelihood, Burai completes the Mad? Horror detection system and group learns that there are many of them at the city.
