After suffering a miserable defeat at the Grand Prix Finals, Yuri is uncertain whether to retire or to continue, but a chance circumstance causes him to catch the eye of a five-time world champion.

When five-time world champion Victor Nikiforov declares himself Yuri's coach, world junior champion Yuri Plisetsky shows up looking to bring Victor back to Russia.

The two Yuris face off and each debut a short program choreographed by Victor: one to Eros and one to Agape.

The two Yuris start to choreograph their free skate programs at their respective rinks. Yuri Katsuki talks to Victor in order to begin untangling his past.

Yuri's first competition of the season arrives but Victor becomes the centre of attention in his first trial as a coach.

Yuri becomes worked up before the Cup of China, a Grand Prix Series event, when he realises that he is the man who took Victor from the world.
