While Lupin recovers from whiplash and waits for the bridge to be repaired, Muru is captivated by the beauty of Fujiko, who she thinks looks like a mermaid, and follows her and the rest of Lupin's gang, concocting romantic tales in her mind as she observes them, imagining that the three men are all Fujiko's suitors. She arranges for them to meet on a full moon night, planning that each of them will compete for the love of Fujiko, whom she convinced to wear a mermaid costume. The plan falls apart when only Lupin openly declares his love, but is slapped down by Fujiko. When Muru learns that Lupin is the famous thief, she begins another tale involving Fujiko, and then herself, as a femme fatale.

A young woman named Finn Clarke travels to Revonland in the Arctic to learn more about her mother who died after giving birth to her 16 years ago to the day. She stays with Daniel and Anna who had watched over her mother, Mariel, after she suddenly left for America. Using her mother's diary and pictures, Finn learns that in high school, Mariel had a crush on a football player named Sean and dated another boy named Allen. She finds some cassettes recorded by Mariel and decides to reveal them publicly as a webcast called "Finn's Room" which are heard by both Lupin and Mattea. The tapes reveal that Mariel split with Sean and became pregnant by Allen, with Tomoe using hypnotic suggestion to make her believe they were always close to each other. The final tape reveals in a call with Sean that Allen had assaulted Mariel, with surveillance footage at the time showing the two boys arguing and then being shot by another of Tomoe's "students", who then kills herself on her instructions. As Finn goes into shock, Lupin rushes in and consoles her, while wondering about Tomoe's motivation. As he leaves, he encounters Zenigata, who was waiting for him.

Lupin, Goemon, and Jigen meet with Zenigata, revealing he's chasing Mattea, who apparently stabbed Ariana and killed Hazel, to Lupin's shock. Zenigata shows him Arianna's recording, and when Lupin hears the words from his mother's poem containing a hypnotic suggestion, he attacks Zenigata and his colleagues, and escapes with Mattea's help. Zenigata interviews Mercedes in prison about Tomoe and discovers a link to Mahiko Village, Jigen and Goemon seek help from the Professor, who wants to learn more about Lupin's past, and Fujiko attempts and fails to reason with Lupin. As the hypnotized Lupin makes his way toward Tomoe, he starts to believe that she is his true biological mother, forced to hide it by his grandfather, and that the contents she stole from his safe was proof of the parentage. He arrives in the village and greets an aging Tomoe, who explains her death was faked by convincing a dupe to take her place. Mattea then arrives and shoots Lupin who falls over the balcony. As Tomoe stands by unsympathetically, she explains to Mattea that she tutored women from different countries to carry a code in different languages that would lead Lupin, her son, back to her. As Mattea prepares to kill Tomoe, she is surprised when Lupin returns after surviving the gunshot, as the two face down.

Lupin and Mattea's fight is broken up by Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko's arrival. The three demand proof that Tomoe is really Lupin's mother, so she reveals the box is located in the original safe. Lupin then reveals that he's been free of her brainwashing for a while, thanks to his strong memories and bond with his crew bringing him back to his senses, and had come up with the plan to get her to reveal the box's location right after getting shot. He figures out the box, rather than containing proof of Tomoe's parentage, contains information regarding his true roots. Tomoe laughs manically, stating that she will continue to use more women and methods to get Lupin to become hers, causing Mattea to snap and try to kill her, only for Lupin to shoot her first. As Tomoe lays dying, Mattea becomes further enraged due to Tomoe taking her life from her, and still intending to fight Lupin, which he agrees to. During their fight, Zenigata arrives, revealing Arianna has just regained consciousness, and after Lupin tells Mattea to decide by her own standards how she'll be a crook, she agrees and is arrested. Lupin and the crew break into the safe to receive the box, only to barely survive one last death trap from Tomoe. He realizes the box was on her the entire time, and after reclaiming it and burning down the house, he throws it into the fire, deciding that his present with everyone is more important than learning his roots. Later, Mercedes breaks out of prison, no longer caring about surpassing Lupin, and Zenigata resumes his chase with Lupin and his crew.
