After failing to find Kenja no Ishi, Ed and Al embark on the journey back to Centora. However, Ed is not too enthusiastic about going back to meet Mustang as he is sure that the latter will pass sarcastic remarks on this unsuccessful trip again. Thus, he makes Al alight with him at the tourist town of Aqurora so that they can go sight-seeing before going back to Centora.At night, there is a female thief by the name of Siren who manages to escape from the police again by using alchemy...
Ed and Al are walking along the streets when a carriage passes by thus dirtying Ed's clothes. He uses alchemy to restore them back to the original state. This attracts the attention of the local police inspector who brings Ed and Al back for questioning since Siren uses alchemy. The inspector is sceptical about Ed's identity as a national alchemist but releases him after 3 hours of questioning. Just then, Ed complains of a stomach ache and Al brings him to the local hospital.
At the hospital, Ed is diagnosed to be down with food poisoning and needs a jab. However, he is scared of having a jab and tries to run away when Al forces him to stay. A pretty nurse, Clara comes to administer the injection and her smile leaves a strong impression on Al who thinks that Clara resembles his mother who is very gentle and kind to people. However, Ed does not think so and tells Al not to get obsessed with Clara.
The police inspector comes back to look for Ed and is very respectful towards him since he got confirmation from Mustang on Ed's identity. He asks for Ed's help to nab Siren. Although Ed isn't too enthusiastic at first, he decides to help after he hears that Siren uses alchemy to steal.
At night, Ed meets Siren and tries to stop her from making her escape. He sees that she has a alchemy formation drawn on her chest which is allowing her to conduct alchemy rituals. However, Siren manages to give him the slip which makes Ed very irritated.
The next day, Ed happens to bump into Clara at the hospital and realises that she is Siren. She explains that she is stealing to prevent the hospital from being torn down and Ed decides to turn a blind eye towards what she is doing. However, after being deceived by Siren/Clara for 3 times, Ed decides that Clara is just stealing for her personal gains and decides not to let her off. However, Ed and Al hear only praises for Siren from the locals as the town is slowly sinking into the sea, most of the locals are slowly moving away. However, with Siren's appearance, it has gathered interest from tourists over the country to make the town a popular tourism spot. Ed and Al are not sure whether Siren is that evil after all but Ed insists on catching Siren because she is a criminal after all.
Siren is finally caught and turned over to the police. Before she is taken away, Siren tells Ed that he can go to the Zerotime City to find out more on Kenja no Ishi.
This episode is kind of funny especially when Ed and Al discover that they have been deceived by Siren for a couple of times. I don't mind humour since the atmosphere for the past few episodes were rather heavy. However, I miss seeing Scar and hearing Okiayu-san's voice...
