Duck wakes up and realizes she is a duck again; Drosslemeyer tells her she is also the legendary Princess Tutu, tasked with returning the pieces of Prince Mytho's heart.

Princess Tutu helps another person with their emotions; Ebine, a lonely cook, keeps people in their restaurant since her husband died.

Fakir tries to figure out why Mytho is regaining his feelings; the ghost of unrequited love, Giselle, tries to take Mytho to the world of the dead.
