The episode kicks off with Rudo, Zanka, Riyo, and Enjin arriving at the Cleaners HQ. After entering the premises, Rudo encounters Semiu, the Cleaners' receptionist, who gauges his talent using her glasses. Interestingly, Semiu detects something ominous from Rudo, but she refrains from probing into the matter further.

Afterward, Enjin gives Rudo a tour of the Cleaners HQ and explains the different categories within the organization. Meanwhile, Enjin finds out that the Boss has gone on a trip. Rudo becomes angry at Enjin, as he wanted to meet the boss. At this moment, Riyo suggests that Rudo should join the Cleaners on a mission as an apprentice.

She thinks it will be fine for him to observe how the Cleaners operate. Moreover, she is also interested in knowing more about Rudo. Thus, Rudo's observation field trip begins as he joins Riyo and other Cleaners on an "easy" mission.

Apparently, the residents of a small town near the Polluted Zone have spotted a horde of Trash Beasts approaching the barricade. With that, the Cleaners begin their operation. Meanwhile, Rudo meets Gris, one of the Supporters in the Cleaners. He discovers that the Supporters don't have Giver abilities.

Despite that, they are valuable assets to their fellow Giver colleagues. Eventually, Riyo and others begin their assault against a horde of Trash Beasts. Riyo demonstrates her Vital Instrument, The Ripper, to shred a few small Trash Beasts. Riyo's Vital Instrument happens to be a pair of scissors that she can transform into a weapon.

After defeating the small fries, she aims for a gigantic Trash Beast. Yet, no matter how many times she cuts the beast, it shows no sign of disappearing. Meanwhile, Rudo saves a fellow Supporter from a Trash Beast. He transforms a stick into a weapon using his gloves. Yet, suddenly, a realization strikes him: He doesn't know how to use his Vital Instrument.

Just then, Riyo arrives in time to save Rudo from the Trash Beast. Following that, she goes after the big Trash Beast yet again and detects its weak spot. After eliminating the Trash Beast, Riyo finds a piece of an item. She realizes that the Trash Beast was fused with a Vital Instrument.

Elsewhere, one of the human traffickers from the second episode finds himself in an enclosed space. The episode ends with a mysterious hooded figure asking the man about Rudo's whereabouts (he addresses Rudo as a Sphereite).
