Vincenco und Bruno, zwei Männer aus der Kommandozentrale der separatistischen Milano-Fraktion, entsorgen den Leichnam des von Pinocchio ermordeten Polizeibeamten. Bruno betrachtet diesen Job illusionslos pragmatisch: „Nur mit idealistischen Ideen kann man keine Familie ernähren – Die Welt ist ein Schweinestall.“ Angelica ist wieder genesen. Zusammen mit ihrem Fratello Marco und dem Fratello-Pärchen Jean & Rico fährt sie nach Mailand. Der Auftrag lautet: Findet Pinocchio…
Angelica is allowed to go on her first field mission since her earlier hospitalization (see Gunslinger Girl, episode 13). Together with Marco, her fratello, and Rico and Jean they head for Milan to get more information on the activities of the PRF and Pinocchio in particular. Olga and Priscilla have also headed to Milan to check up on how Angelica is doing and Marco drafts them into helping with the mission at hand. Trouble arises, when it appears that Angelica is suffering from an addiction to her conditioning pills, as she breaks Priscilla's arm due to the withdrawal symptoms she's suffering from. Priscilla manages to convince Marco not to tell Jean about what has occurred, and to let Angelica continue with the mission. Marco relents, and the team ends up capturing one of the Cleaners used by the PRF after a successful ambush by Angelica, Marco, and Rico. Angelica is initially disappointed in herself for failing to kill any of the terrorists (thanks to their bulletproof car), but Marco praises her for carrying out the mission correctly, thus making her rather giddy with joy as she and Rico talk about what just occurred.
Angelica torna a partecipare a una missione, dopo il ricovero in ospedale, e si reca insieme a Marco, Gianni e Rico, a Milano, per ottenere maggiori informazioni su Pinocchio. Olga e Priscilla seguono il gruppo, e Angelica improvvisamente rompe un braccio a Priscilla. Questa convince Marco a non riferire a Gianni ciò che è accaduto, e di lasciare continuare la missione ad Angelica. Il gruppo cattura così alcuni terroristi, e Marco si congratula con Angelica.
