Summary
Girl on Fire is opening with a wide desert view with hills and skyscrapers in the distance. A radio show is supporting the scene, while a runner is crossing the great nothingness. It turns out to be Maine, but he is younger and has no visible chrome on his body. From the off one can hear Dorio's voice, who brings him back from this day dream or memory and offers him something to eat. His shaking hands can't hold the food package and the contents spill on the floor.

Dorio is clearly worried, but he assures her he is fine, using medicine to stabilize his arm. He's clearly showing signs of Cyberpsychosis and angrily rejects Dorio's suggestion to downgrade. As Maine rambles on in his anger, the scene moves on to Falco in the same room and then to Tanaka's body, clearly beaten and bound. Kiwi is in the bathtub next to him, deeply immersed in a complicated data session. The crew is extremely stressed to get their hands on the information in a timely manner.

Maine is suddenly attacking Kiwi in his rage and beating her unconscious. However, he snaps out of his psychosis and can't remember what he did to Kiwi. Dorio and Falco keep him from doing more harm. In their desperation to gather the needed data, they are calling for Lucy to take over, but she's afraid to join the session. She only agrees after David encourages her and to be with her the whole time as a backup. Maine has another psychotic episode, but Dorio can help him to break free of it. A call from Faraday adds up to the pressure and Maine collapses on the floor again.

Meanwhile, Tanaka awakens from his unconscious state, before David can give him another tranquilizer. The man begins a brief conversation with David, telling him to be the one behind David's reinstatement at the Academy, because they saw his great potential. Tanaka then is trying to convince David to inform Arasaka to end this, but David doesn't cooperate. Tanaka suspects Militech behind this project. Lucy can break through to the data and begins to download the valuable information - but also stumbles over David's data.

Maine and Dorio discover Tanaka being awake and both panic. Maine seizes the tranquilizer from David's hands, but accidentally electrocutes Tanaka in the process. They are able to save Lucy and to reanimate Tanaka, but Dorio informs them that the jammer, to suppress Trauma Team notification, is no longer working. David uses his device to take Lucy quickly to the car on the parking deck, where she awakens and informs David about the truth - it's all a scam and Tanaka has no relevant data for them. At the same time, Maine and Dorio are trying to move Tanaka, still convinced he's important for their mission. They get caught up in the crossfire of Trauma Team and NCPD.
