The next day, Zeke has holidays, so his mother arranges a visit to see Leon. Leon is imprisoned in the Central Jail of Delon, which conveniently sits on the border of the Delon state. The distance they need to cover from their city to reach the jail is 150 kilometers. Early, in the morning Zeke and his mother start on their journey to make the most of their time at the prison with Leon.

They start their journey by boarding a bus, where Zeke chooses a seat by the window and gazes out lost in his thoughts. The weight of memories, from that day when Leon ended Jackson's life, burdens him significantly causing sadness to consume him. As time goes by Zeke's eyelids grow heavy. He eventually falls asleep. After three hours have passed they finally arrive at the entrance gate of the jail.

Ahead of them, the crowd had assembled, much like families gathered to see their loved ones inside the jail, waiting for their turn to enter through the massive main gate. The atmosphere was a mix of anticipation and gloom, as people awaited their chance to visit their imprisoned relatives.

As Zeke and his mom entered, Hera approached a security guard and registered Leon's name. The security guard then proceeded inside the prison. The atmosphere within was vastly different. The Central Jail housed a total of 2,780 prisoners. The security guard made his way to cell number 179, and as he approached, his hands trembled. A strange feeling came over him, like being surrounded by darkness.

The security guard approached the cell and observed seven Members inside. The room was dimly lit, and the four walls were stained with blood. A strong smell of blood filled the air, leaving the guard both shocked and fearful. With trembling, he called out the name "Leon."

An unsettling scene unfolded inside the cell before the security guard's eyes. Six inmates were deeply involved in an unusual form of meditation, their bodies slick with sweat, forming rivulets on the floor. In a corner, an elderly man slept. Despite calling "Leon" multiple times, the guard received no response from the meditating prisoners. Finally, The old man woke up and addressed the guard spoke in a gruff tone, asking, "What's your problem, bitch?".

The security guard became angry and opened the cell, approaching the old man with a stick. his hand raised, ready to strike. Suddenly, a hand grabbed the opposite end of the stick. Surprised, the guard turned to see a figure standing behind him, covered in scars and bearing a tattoo of a snake along with the word "VENOM." Overwhelmed with fear, the guard hurriedly retreated from the room and nervously stammered, "Who is Leon? His parents have come to see him. Go and meet them."

Afterward, a man emerged from the dimly lit room, wearing a shirt. He approached the security guard, who was Leon. He inquired about the whereabouts of his family. The guard directed him towards his mother and brother. The transformation in Leon's appearance took aback Zeke. With hair that reached his shoulders and a taller, more muscular frame, Leon seemed like a completely different person. As Leon's mother hugged and kissed him, tears streamed down her face.

Tears filled his mother's eyes as she embraced her son with overwhelming love. She started asking him many questions about his time in jail, her voice reflecting a blend of emotions. Zeke, observing this heartfelt reunion, quietly said, "Leon."
Leon has given confidence to his mother, "Don't be sad, Mom. I am happy." Then, turning to Zeke, he asked, "How are your studies going?." Zeke replied, "It's going well. I've made many friends at school." He continued, "When you come back, I'll introduce you to my friends." With a smile, Leon said "ok".

After They found a spot under a tree, his mother had brought Leon's favorite food. As they began eating, Zeke recounted what had happened since Leon's imprisonment, sharing stories and making jokes. They spent quality time together, enjoying the moment.

After three hours, Zeke and Hera started their journey back home. Hera held onto Leon tightly and whispered, "Be careful." Her heart was heavy with love and concern as they left the prison. Leon turned to Zeke and softly said, "Take care of Mother."

Zeke holds deep anger towards Leon due to the changes in their family and his life. However, he couldn't express this anger because their mother was present. Then, Zeke and his mother began their journey back home, while Leon made his way back to his prison cell.

The next day, Zeke, Jax, Mikey, and Erlik met at a nearby local park to plan their study session for the upcoming exams. They decided to study at Mikey's house.

They were after seeing Mikey's wonderful house and having a lot of space and there were four super-expensive cars parked there after seeing that both Zeke and Jax were in awe. Seeing Zeke's curiosity, he asked Mikey, "What does your father do?" Mikey replied, "My father is a businessman. He loves cars, so he buys super-expensive ones."

Upon entering the spacious house, Zeke couldn't help but notice the expensive items scattered throughout. He began asking Mikey about their prices, and Mikey readily shared the costs. Upon entering, they found Mikey's room to be incredibly spacious. However, after studying for half an hour, they exchanged confused glances because none of them were particularly strong in their studies.

In all this confusion, Mikey turned to Jax with a perplexed expression and asked, "Hey, Jax, do you know how to solve this math problem?" On the other hand, Jax had his eyes glued to the ceiling, wearing a thoroughly perplexed expression. He playfully scratched his head and chuckled, "You know, Mikey, I believe I owe our ceiling fan an apology. It's probably a math genius compared to me right now!"
This brought a burst of laughter from the group, turning their study session into an unexpected comedy show.

Erlik mentioned that he knew someone who could help them, and he made a call. After about 30 minutes, the person he had called arrived, and everyone's faces displayed a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. 

Lucas, Erlik's right-hand man, arrived. He took some time to study the material, and after another 30 minutes, he explained it to the group. Everyone gathered around to listen, but to their surprise, in just two minutes, he finished the topic. completely confused they asked for further clarification. Zeke requested, "Can you please explain it a second time? I didn't understand." Lucas, however, just repeated what was in the textbook.

Mikey, Jax, and Zeke exchanged puzzled glances, all looking at Erlik for an explanation. Amused by Lucas's description, Mikey, Jax, and Zeke exchanged playful glances. Mikey finally broke the silence, "Erlik, buddy, are you sure Lucas knows math? Because I think I've heard that exact lecture on YouTube before!" Everyone burst into laughter, and Lucas joined in the laughter, his amusement contagious. He said, "Well, you caught me!".

Amidst the laughter, Zeke's phone vibrated with a message. Everyone's eyes turned to Zeke as he checked his mobile. It was a message from Honey, asking, "Hey, Zeke, are you free tomorrow?" Zeke replied, "Yes, but I have to study for the exams." Honey responded with a reassuring, "I will help you." Zeke replied with a heartfelt, "Thank you so much." With Honey's offer to help, Zeke, Jax, Erlik, and Mikey's faces lit up with hope. the end of the episode.
