Full Plot Summary

The Jaw Titan tries to slow the Attack Titan down, and Eren severely injures Porco by smashing the Jaw's nape. He's interrupted by another cannon shot, but then Floch's group attack and distract the Cart. Reiner grapples with Eren and reaches out to Porco, which triggers Marcel's memory about Reiner inheriting the Armored Titan. Zeke survived Magath's sneak attack and prepares to use his scream. Colt pleads with Zeke not to do so until Falco is out of range, but Zeke regretfully screams anyway, turning everyone who drank the tainted wine into Pure Titans, including Nile and Pyxis. Colt is incinerated by Falco's transformation. Zeke orders Falco to eat Reiner, but Falco instead devours Porco who offers himself to be eaten while still believing he is a better man than Reiner. Floch's group is defeated and the Beast Titan is shot in the nape again, seemingly killing Zeke. Suddenly, the Survey Corps attack the Cart and Armored Titans with Thunder Spears, clearing a path for Eren to exit his Titan and reach Zeke, who faked his death the same way Pieck did. However, Gabi uses Colt's rifle to decapitate Eren whose head falls into Zeke's hand. Eren's consciousness is immediately transported to the Paths, where he meets an aged Zeke in chains, a representation of King Fritz's vow renouncing war. When a young girl who is the soul of the Founder Ymir approaches from the Coordinate, Eren declares he never meant to follow Zeke's plan and attempts to control her, but Zeke reveals that Ymir only follows the orders of those of royal blood. Zeke sheds his chains and shackles Eren. In another attempt to convince Eren to follow his euthanization plan and "fix” him with the Founder's power, he touches their heads together.
