An image of Lain appears in the sky and children are raising their arms toward the image. Lain searches for the reason behind the strange happenings and finds Professor Hodgeson, the creator of KIDS. KIDS was an experiment that tried to gather psi energy from children and store it. The result of the project destroyed the children. Now it seems that the Knights have gotten hold of the project's schematics.

Knights activity starts surfacing as they make the evening news. Lain gets more and more involved in the Wired, being connected even in class through her HandiNAVI. Alice starts worrying about her closing up again, saying she starts resembling "her old self".
Meanwhile, the Men in Black finally make their move, asking Lain to follow them to a Tachibana office where a man wants to know more about her, her origins, and her parents...Or if she and the Lain of the Wired are one and the same.

Rumors are flying around Lain's school and in the Wired with regards to numerous senior students of various high schools committing suicide, with each of the deceased being addicted to the online action game, PHANTOMa. Interested, Lain investigates only to discover the deaths were most likely caused by the elite secretive hacker group known as the Knights of the Eastern Calculus .

Amidst the events surrounding Tokyo having its traffic information transmission system hacked to cause deliberate accidents, Lain experiences a series of hallucinations that are teaching her the nature of the Wired, and the supposed almighty god within it. In the meantime, Lain's elder sister, Mika, is driven to the point of insanity due to the Knights repeatedly communicating the message for her to "fulfill the prophecy".
Alice, Juri, and Reika talk to Lain saying they saw her during their first visit to the hardcore techno club 'Cyberia', but with a far more vigorous and forceful personality. After some persuasion, Lain decides to join Alice and her friends who are at Cyberia again to disprove that it was her. However, Lain becomes involved with a shooting in the club by a man under the influence of the micro-machine drug Accela.

Lain is investigating the Wired ever deeper. A rumor is spread about Alice having sexual fantasies about a male teacher, and a second one says that Lain has spread the first. To cope with the distress of rejection, Lain acts directly on reality for the first time and look-alike duplicates of herself with their own distinct personalities start appearing more frequently.

Lain's life is thrown into further disarray as she begins to recognize that she is being spied upon by a car containing Men in Black agents near her house. At school, Lain is anonymously sent a mysterious computer chip, about which she initially asks her father, and then the similarly aged Taro at Cyberia.
Taro then recalls seeing Lain in the Wired once, noting her Wired personality being the complete opposite of her restrained real world personality and mind, bringing about the possibility that there could be two entirely separate Lains; one in the Wired and one in the physical world.

Distraught that she had deleted herself from everyone's memory, Lain is determined to discover her true form and identity and takes radical action to do so. She is confronted by her other, bolder personality, who assures her that she is the goddess of the Wired and that she is an omnipresent, virtual being that can go and be anywhere she desires and merely watch the real world from afar.

Eiri Masami introduces himself as God, explaining that he is such because of his believers, the Knights. Knowing this, Lain deals with the Knights once and for all by leaking a list of all of its members onto the Wired, leaving a trail of murder by the Men in Black and suicide in its wake.

The frontier between the physical and the Wired worlds finally begins to collapse. The Men in Black receive their final payment from their employers. Eiri Masami makes his final move, resulting in one last confrontation with Lain to attain the vastly limitless power and strength of the Wired's own almighty god-Lain herself.

Throughout the episode, background information is being shown from "archives" about the Roswell incident, MJ-12, Vannevar Bush, MEMEX, Xanadu, John C. Lilly, the Schumann resonance, and Eiri Masami. During that time, Lain gets a microchip from JJ, the DJ from the Cyberia nightclub. She then asks Taro on a "date", to ask him about it. After being scared to death, he admits it is computer code made to disrupt human memory, made by the Knights. He takes their defense, but admits not knowing much about them.

Lain lies exhausted in her room to find herself all wrapped in electrical cord. After a really long and complicated memory flashback, Eiri appears to congratulate her for having succeeded in downloading her NAVI in her own brain to see and hear all that is happening, but warns her about her "hardware capacity" and that she is merely a sentient and autonomous software computer program with a physical human body.
Lain later appears to Alice in her room and declares that anything is possible now, as they do not need devices anymore to enter the Wired anymore. So that she will make everything all right for Alice again. The next day, nobody seems to remember the rumored incidents and Lain smiles at Alice's complicity.
