In "Time to Pick the Apple," Conan’s careful deductions lead to a pivotal moment as he guides Inspector Meguire toward the truth, but not without stirring deeper suspicions in Jo—whose growing doubts about Conan may be harder to shake than he realizes. Meanwhile, Anita’s hidden past threatens to surface, and with Vermouth’s watchful eye, her safety hangs in the balance.

In "The Flying Neighbor," Conan and Jo team up to challenge the police’s conclusion that a death was suicide, uncovering inconsistencies that point to murder. As they piece together clues, Miss Jodie watches closely, her quiet presence adding a subtle tension to their investigation.

In "Deja Vu in the Rain," a quiet dinner at a local restaurant takes a sudden turn when movie producers approach Rachel about starring in an action film—only for the moment to shatter when one of them collapses, dead. Written by a noted mystery scribe and illustrated with sharp, atmospheric detail, the story unfolds like a cold rain on a city street, where every glance feels like a memory and every silence hides a secret.

In "Golden Apple (1)," Jo finds herself suddenly ill at a restaurant, slipping into a feverish memory of a long-ago trip to New York with Jimmy and his mother, the actress Vivian Kudo. As her consciousness flickers, the past unfolds in fragments—centuries of secrets, a mysterious friendship with actress Sharon Vineyard, and a web of danger that still echoes in the present.
