Shirō returns home and reminisces about how Kiritsugu's ideals and the Fuyuki City fire ten years ago inspired him to become a hero of justice. Meanwhile, at Kirei's church, Caster visits a captive Saber, who is resisting her magical torture. She is then confronted by Kuzuki, who learns that her last two attacks had been done on her own free will and that she intends to use the church to obtain the Holy Grail's vessel. After waking up from a dream about Archer, Rin goes to Kirei's church with Archer and finds bloodstains. She concludes Caster attacked Kirei, but that he somehow managed to survive. The two then confront Caster and Kuzuki, but when Rin tries to battle them, Archer suddenly defends them from her attacks. Citing that Saber had been turned over to Caster's side, Archer pledges his allegiance to Caster, revealing that she is the ancient Greek princess Medea and allowing her to stab him with Rule Breaker, which takes Rin's Command Seals. Kuzuki then tries to kill Rin, but she is saved by a recovered Shirō. Caster tries to counter with Golems, but Archer stops her and has her release Shirō and Rin as a condition for him joining forces with her. While on their way back to Shirō's home, Rin confesses that Archer joined Caster because he knew Rin's strategies were hopelessly flawed, though Shirō counters this by telling her that even though she failed this time, it doesn't mean she was wrong. After comforting her, Shirō returns to her the jewel he found at her house, telling her that he had another one at his home. When Rin asks why he rescued her, Shirō confesses that he had feelings for her, which initially embarrasses her. However, she then thanks him for saving her life.
