Cold open[]

In unnamed village, Teresa and Clare hide under their cowls, hoping to conceal Teresa's Claymore warrior identity. But Teresa is forced to reveal herself.[5]

Rescue[]

In the street, a Yoma has captured a young boy. Villagers look on in horror, but are almost more horrified when Teresa reveals herself. Disappointed at blowing her cover, Teresa bisects the Yoma at the waist.[6]

Teresa is now resigned to the usual horror and rejection by humans. But instead the villagers cheer her on. A man even calls her "our savior," a concept Teresa has always rejected. They invite Teresa to stay as a guest. The befuddled Teresa accepts the situation.[7]

Local Inn[]

Sitting on Teresa's bed, Clare laughs because Teresa thought she would not be welcomed by the villagers.[8]

Tired from their long journey, Clare falls asleep on Teresa's lap. But Teresa senses three Yoma auras. She realizes that sister warriors are coming to purge her.[9]

Purge team[]

Three diversions[]

Ilena, Sophia and Noel stop before inn. They rent the whole building. Each is about to use their special technique, but only as a diversion. Noel waits outside as Ilena and Sophia enter the inn.[10]

Scene 019a
Purge team

The first diversion begins when Ilena bursts into Teresa's room. She uses her Quicksword on Teresa, who immobilizes it. Teresa believes this is a serious effort on Ilena's part, unaware of the second diversion taking place underneath them.[11]

On the lobby floor below, Sophia, using her extreme strength, plunges her sword through the ceiling. Teresa dodges the blade. She lands before the window as the purge team planned.[12]

Outside the bedroom window, Noel attacks using her agility technique. Fooled by this third diversion, Teresa grabs Clare and escapes through the next window.[13]

Trap[]

They land on the street and into the trap. Despite Teresa's Preemptive Sensing, she does not detect Priscilla's aura, due to Priscilla's Yoma Energy Control.[14]

Ilena's plan was to lure Teresa outside, then Priscilla would attack from behind, catching Teresa unaware. But the plan misfires when Priscilla introduces herself. And announces that she has come for Teresa's head.[15]

Additional details[]

Notes[]

  • In the cold open, Teresa being able to hide her silver eyes without aura suppressant is a continuity issue that occurs throughout the Claymore series
