Most of their efforts are futile as Estarossa easily resits all the attacks, he injures Guila and defeats once more both Goddess the moment they try to attack him. Estarossa invites Elizabeth to go "their secret place", to Elizabeth shock who wonders how he knows about it since it was supposed to be a secret and she confirmes she knows him somehow much better than she though but cannot remember how.

As Holy Knights gather around after their recent victory over the demons, they discusses their strategy to save Elizabeth. King offers himself to go after her since he is the only one who can fly and recalls both Tarmiel and Sariel were defeated. Sariel corrects him by showing next to them and much to Diane and Howzer surprise his vessel body's now looks like a young and beautiful lady. Sariel explains this is a result of a human vessel holding a high ranking Goddess and that the same could happen to Margaret's body as she holds their leader Ludociel. A confused Howzer aks Tarmiel about his vessel, who clarifies that because his vessel died before he could take over his body and this is the main reason why a Goddess magic power cannot age a vessel; Sariel then say he got his vessel body when Solaseed got ill from a rare disease and he promised to cure her in exchance of her body.

Sariel apologizes to Solaseed for lying to her and proceeds to expel himself from her body and Tarmiel does the same as well. Eventually both goddesses get their original bodies back in order to save Elizabeth and defeat Estarossa once for all. Derieri offers to join them in their rescue team but she is rejected as Sariel says no one trust her. King support her telling them everyone back in the holy war Elizabeth first live saved her and Monspeet to Derieri's surprise who asks him how he knows about it but King replies it does not matter.

In Camelot Merlin uses her magic to bring the assault team consisting in her, Escanor, Gilthunder, Hendrickson and Ludociel inside Margaret Liones. Merlin cannot access Meliodas's cocoon of darkness, Ludociel uses his Sanctuary protection spell so they can be inside but he warns everyone there is no turn back and once inside they must kill Meliodas in order to escape, Merlin then reminds him there is another way and that is to persuade Meliodas of not becoming the demon king.

Manga/Anime Differences

 * In the anime, Estarossa goes insane before leaving the battlefield, therefore, being battled by the other characters, including some new scenes like Estarossa shooting destructive long beams of darkness, and attacks from King and Diane.
 * In the anime, after Sariel and Tarmiel leave their hosting bodies, these lay on the ground with their regular clothes, while in the manga, they're naked.
 * In the anime, Meliodas' emotions are covered with darkness, while in the manga he is naked. The same goes for Ban who can be seen with part of his clothes ripped.
 * The episode introduces some scenes from other chapters from manga who were not completely adapted: The assault force is seen entering Camelot castle as it happens in Chapter 285 but with some differences. Likewise in the final scenes of the season Derieri notes Gowther is following her and the rest of the rescue team but this happens in the manga until Chapter 272, the same can be say about Chapter 268 where Ban re appears after a while in Purgatory with longer hair and his beard like it happens in the episode.

Trivia

 * In the after credits scene, Wild's silhouette and the Demon King are shown.
