Episode 13 - Children of Forest (Mori no Kora)






In the forest, Zeke tells Levi that four years earlier on Marley's orders, his spinal fluid was released in a gaseous form towards the Ragako villagers on Paradis. He says it initially paralyzed them, then he turned them into Titans with his scream. Zeke claims he did it to maintain his cover, but Levi accuses him of not truly caring for the people he killed. During Nicolo's dinner for the Braus family, Kaya points him out to Gabi and Falco as the Marleyan who invited them, explaining that Nicolo was probably in love with Sasha. After the Survey Corps arrive in the restaurant to question him, he forcefully takes a bottle of Marleyan wine from Conny and Jean, telling them that it would be wasted on Eldians. Nicolo takes the wine with him to the cellar, to where Gabi and Falco follow him, revealing themselves as Candidates and telling him that a global alliance is preparing for an assault on the island. Nicolo deduces that Gabi killed Sasha, and attempts to bludgeon her with the bottle, but Falco takes the hit instead. Nicolo punches Gabi out, then carries the two back to the dining room. He offers Mr. Braus a knife, saying that if he cannot kill Gabi, Nicolo will. The Survey Corps intervenes, and through Mr. Braus, the emotions are seemingly calmed. Jean and Conny restrain Nicolo, but Mikasa has to save Gabi from Kaya who attempts to kill her. Gabi is escorted to another room by Mikasa and Armin, while Nicolo tells Hange to rinse Falco's mouth as he suspects that the wine Falco accidently ingested is spiked with Zeke's spinal fluid. He explains that the wine came from Yelena's scout ship and was given to him by her to be served to the high government officials. Meanwhile, Levi receives word of Zachary's death and wonders if he completely miscalculated Eren's potential as humanity's savior. The Jaegerists raid the restaurant and hold everyone at gunpoint. Floch demands Zeke's location from Hange and reveals that he knew about Zeke's plan with the wine. Eren meets with Mikasa, Armin and Gabi, and states that he wants to talk.
