Full Plot Summary

spoilers

The reformed Levi Squad, now composed of Eren and his six cadet friends, are camped out in a remote cottage, where Hange runs experiments to test Eren's Titan abilities. Pastor Nick is tortured and murdered by the Military Police's First Interior Squad, causing Levi to suspect that someone in the government is intent on destroying the Scout Regiment to conceal the secrets of the Titans and the Walls, and is after Eren and Historia. A message from Erwin, who has been arrested by the MP, has Levi abandon their hideout just before the MP arrives to raid it. The Scouts sneak back into the Trost District. Jean and Armin, disguised as Eren and Historia, are abducted by Dimo Reeves but the Scouts easily rescue them. As Levi shadows Eren and Historia's transport wagon, he feels uneasy, as the abduction feels similar to the actions of Kenny the Ripper, a notorious serial killer he lived with as a child. Sure enough, Kenny himself ambushes him with slug guns, killing Levi's team.
