At an empty coffee house, Lust and Gluttony tell Envy about the death of Greed since a certain person will create a new version soon. Envy also tells Lust about the arrival of Wrath who is now with Sloth. He realises that Lust is in a daze and asks if she's affected by Greed's death. Lust suddenly mentions that as a result of this incident, it only got her thinking where they came from and where they're heading towards. Just then, the owner of the shop comes to interrupt their conversation and tells them to leave as he's closing soon. However, the trio ignore him where Envy stabs him with a knife to stop him from making noise. Envy says that since they are in this world, they don't have to find a particular destination and will just stay here. Lust thinks to herself that this is not the first time she is thinking about this question.Meanwhile, a car bangs into a house which results in a boy getting injured. A man by the name of Lujon arrives and uses the red water crystal to heal the boy. Lust happens to see this and when Lujon turns around, he is surprised to see her...
Ed, Al and Winry take a horse cart ride through the forest so that they can reach Isbal and meet Scar. Suddenly, they hear a girl's screams. The girl, Libia is surrounded by a group of men who wish to take advantage of her and Ed saves her from harm.
Lujon and Lust have a chat inside the coffee house where he remarks that it has been 2 years since they last met. Lujon asks her why she left without a word but Lust replies nonchalantly that she can't remember the past even though Lujon seems deeply attracted to her. Lust then asks him why he left his village and he reveals that he needs to find a new Kenja no Ishi since the village is struck with the same disease again.
2 years ago, there was a landslide near Lujon's village where his fiancee, Libia got injured and that was when he first saw Lust. Lust and Gluttony hear about the epidemic in the village where Lujon promised to heal everyone with alchemy.
Back to the present, Libia tells Ed, Al and Winry that she came to look for her fiance, Lujon. Even though the trio are not too interested in Libia's explanation in the first place, they sit up and take notice once they hear that Lujon left the village to look for Kenja no Ishi. Libia reveals that their village is struck with an epidemic where the body slowly gets covered by a wooden texture and there is no cure for it.
At that time, Lujon tried to use his limited alchemy skills to cure the sick people but it was of no use. Lust happened to have a flashback of a man grasping a woman's hand who was on her deathbed asking for God to save her which resembled what Lujon was muttering. Thus, Lust taught Lujon to learn the correct information on alchemy and even offered him a ring containing the red water crystal which was supposed to enhance his alchemy powers.
Lust and Gluttony follow Lujon back to his village where he keeps talking about how grateful he is about Lust coming along with him and how he misses their past. Meanwhile, Ed, Al and Winry decide to send Libia back to her village since she has no idea where Lujon is and would not be able to locate him without a clue.
While looking at Lujon, Lust's flashback became clearer about the man holding her hand and he turned out to be Scar's brother! As a result of Lust's help, Lujon managed to heal Libia and the rest of the people struck with the disease. However, this led to Lujon developing feelings for Lust despite him being engaged to Libia. Unknown to them, this was part of Lust's ploy to instigate the villagers to seek the real Kenja no Ishi since the virus was spread by Envy and the red water crystal given to Lujon would only heal the people for the time being.
On the day of Lujon and Libia's wedding, he told Lust that he loved her and cannot marry Libia. When Lujon hugged Lust, this was seen by Libia and Lust told Lujon to go after her. Lust took the chance to leave the village with Gluttony at that time...
With Lust's help, Lujon manages to save his people again and he hugs her again. This reminds Lust of the fragments from her past and she kills Lujon who is bewildered by her action. With the disintegration of the red water crystal on Lujon's ring, the villages are struck with the disease again.
The next morning, Libia returns to her village which is wiped out by the disease. Even Libia herself dies from this thus shocking Ed, Al and Winry on the degree of destruction in the village...
This episode proves the link between Lust and Scar's brother's lover who died. When Scar first met Lust, he already mentioned that she looks like his brother's lover so this is not a coincidence. From the flashbacks that Lust had, it seems that she was the product of Scar's brother's attempt at human alchemy to bring her back to life. However, it just seems unusually coincidental for Lust to have the same looks as the person who was being brought back to life. Anyway, the appearance of Lujon served as the trigger to regaining some memories of the past for Lust so she killed him in order to avoid being reminded repeatedly from those flashbacks.
