Plot[]
Chuck after being struck by lightning.
The episode starts with a close up from Daten City to the church. It then changes to Chuck's point of view, who after being stricken by lightning in "Pulp Addiction", sees Panty and Stocking leaving to the Paper Plant, until he faints.
A small time-skip takes place, and Chuck is then seen walking through an aisle. Fastener makes him trip and then starts following him. Chuck looks at himself in a mirror, where Fastener starts mimicking Chuck's moves as if he was Chuck's reflection. Fastener suddenly punches Chuck, and annoyed, Chuck tries punching him back, but ends up punching the mirror instead, hurting himself. Chuck starts walking once again, but Fastener cuts his head off. Chuck's body starts looking for his head, upon finding it and putting it on, he finally notices Fastener. Chuck is reminded of his university days, where he was put in the losers' class and Fastener beat him at everything, including getting the girl he had a crush on.

They start fighting each other, but Fastener easily cuts Chuck in two. An agent man, which was revealed to have been living inside Chuck's head, reassembles Chuck shortly after. Chuck starts chasing Fastener, who kills Chuck several times, but the latter keeps reassembling himself multiple times. While struggling with Fastener, Chuck accidentally opens Fastener's head zipper, releasing the agent woman living inside his head. Fastener turns pale, and Chuck, believing him to be dead, hides his body inside a trash can. Soon enough, a trash truck takes the garbage with Fastener in it.
