Reigen is meeting with a man at his farm. The farmer wants him to investigate the black shadow that's been killing his crops the day before harvest for several years now. He can't pay in money, so Reigen accepts part of this year's harvest as recompense.
Later that day, an irritated Mob makes his way out to the farm to help. He exorcises the possessed scarecrow standing watch over the farmer's fields. It seems the worst of this spirit lies underground, however. The roots it controls entangle our heroes and drag them into the soil, but Mob learns from the spirit. He wrests control over the roots himself and defeats it.
Cut to Reigen's office: he presents the teenager with his pay from this job, since there was no harvest. It's even more ludicrous than his pay from last season's first episode; Mob swallows his disappointment and graciously thanks his boss. The phony psychic has an idea for using Mob's newfound green thumb, but it doesn't work out.
