Footage of the incident is leaked to the media by some unknown party, and Kusanagi is accused of murdering the terrorist in cold blood.

Kusanagi regains consciousness after a brain-dive into the Puppet Master. Although they now know the truth behind what happened, Kusanagi keeps sensing the Puppet Master's presence from time to time. The Shell Squad raids a boat being used by a terrorist cell, and Kusanagi mistakenly guns down its leader.
E7
A robot flees from Megatech Body Co., Ltd. Section 9 takes it into custody, only to find that the Puppet Master is inside it.

Moments after it requests political asylum, it is stolen by an unknown party.

Kusanagi and her boyfriend are rushed to the hospital after being attacked without warning. They suspect Toru Soma, a terrorist that Kusanagi has a history with.

E5
Kusanagi and the team go to the Far North to surveil a combat cyborg named Koil Krasnov.

There has been a rash of attacks against humans by promotional sample robots. Kusanagi's team rounds up robots of that same model line, and they learn that they all share a common trait.

E3

Kusanagi and her team begin operating as the Shell Squad after being scouted by Aramaki. At some point, the cyberbrain of the Foreign Minister's interpreter was infected by a virus. Aramaki senses that Col. Malles, who is living in exile in the country, is trying to interfere with a secret meeting. He orders Kusanagi to back-trace the hack and find the culprit.
