Full Plot Summary

spoilers

At his trial, Erwin unsuccessfully proposes to reclaim Wall Maria to avoid a potential civil war caused by people competing for limited resources within Wall Rose and Wall Sina. Just then, news arrives that Wall Rose has been breached by Titans. Rather than allow Wall Rose refugees shelter within Wall Sina, the council orders the gates closed, willing to sacrifice the entire Wall Rose population. A disgusted Nile refuses to obey, and Chancellor Darius Zackly reveals that the breach report was a ruse that Erwin and Pyxis were in on. With the council's self-interest and disregard for its citizens revealed, they are all arrested, the Scout Regiment is exonerated, and the military temporarily takes over. Flegel has the news published in the press, informing the public of the truth. Hange brings the good news to the Levi Squad and informs them of the mysterious deaths of Rod Reiss' family that caused him to seek out Historia, the only member of his bloodline left. In a crystalline cavern, a chain-bound Eren is approached by Historia.
