Some OP changes this time. Not sure how many may have been done recently that I just missed skipping it, but a few nice touches, including Siriusmon.
And we get a taxi driving near a church, and a nun is thrown out of it, drained and dusty.
And we get Cerberumon grabbing the priest.
Koutaro is happy they saw a play at a girls school and got cookies. Hiro is trying to find his phone for their return train, Koutaro watches Gammamon and Hiro runs back to get it. He's looking at photos he took as a taxi pulls up.
The priest is thrown out, dry and dusty again. A voice says they aren't of use to her anymore, next. Flames around Koutaro and he's grabbed by a digital field and forced to move to the car. He drops the cookies and can't move once he's in the car.
Koutaro freaks out when the dog talks to him, and the woman demands angels. The dog notes Koutaro was talking about angels despite his claims of not knowing (he was referring to the girls.)
Koutaro is offered that he will be let go if he brings them to angels. They tell him to program the GPS and let his hand free.
We see a familiar symbol activate on the car and it begins to drive on its own.
The car needs a human in the seat to drive.
Hiro returns and finds no one, except the priest being helped by others, then notices the dropped cookies.
His phone ring sin the car and Gammamon wakes up and answers the phone, Koutaro gets Hiro a good amount of info before the phone is hung up.
Cerberumon holds down Gammamon, no one seemed to expect a Digimon to get onboard.
She tries to bewitch Gammamon with abilities and he starts writhing in pain. They tell Koutaro he better hurry or Gammamon won't make it. Koutaro finally seems to realize that Gammamon is not a hologram. Hiro realizes the mention of a dog monster likely means Digimon.
Koutaro is forced to drive, in the wrong lane, as an actual Ghost Taxi that's going through cars and things. Koutaro then gets infected by the rot bits. He tells Gammamon he'll be ok, but Lilithmon noticed something in Gammamon blocking her powers, some of it anyways.
Hiro is on the phone with the others and Kiyoshiro freaks out at mention of Ghost Taxi.
Ryudamon and Espimon and Airdramon are worried, especially with no specific way to find them. A cop shows up and some of the Digimon hide as the kids get asked questions.
The cop gets called away by the truck rollover the ghost taxi caused, and they hear the taxi mentioned, Airdramon screams from inside the trees so Ginryumon can get the kids away.
Koutaro taunts them about the girls not being that late when they arrive, but he realizes he's degrading quickly and freaks out. On to the next location.
Gammamon notices Koutaro is mostly gone at this point, as the Digimon start to try and find the next one. Although Koutaro notices Hiro up above yell for him.
Espimon is helpful and stops the car and Airdramon cushions it.
Gammamon tries to grab Koutaro, but notices who the Digimon is in the back, as his eyes go black for a moment, before returning to normal. He grabs Koutaro and flies to Hiro.
Cerberumon is upset his masters hunt was stopped. Angoramon tells the story of the angel hunt. Jellymon mentions she can't fix curses, but both warp evolve to battle Cerberumon.
Hiro remembers Bakumon with the holy ring and Ginryumon rushses off to get Bakumon. Cerberumon switches to werewolf mode to attack Lamortmon.
Espimon provides a good distraction as Thetismon attacks, and then Lamortmon jumps in. Cerberumon is annoyed at what he let happen, while Lilithmon reveals herself laughing, and annoyed at her minion being hurt.
Espimon and Airdramon can't move, her murderous intent by itself is holding them back. Gammamon isn't doing well, but then a burst of light flies down and hits him. Bakumon has arrived, and he's undoing the curses. LIlithmon is annoyed, and notes they were all brought to this world. She notes the way Digimon were sent, with no rhyme or reason annoys her. Hiro realizes he's heard something like this before as Gammamon recovers.
Lilithmon notes she will hunt down holy Digimon, Gammamon warps to Canoweissmon to protect Bakumon, the other Perfects jump in, but can't really do much against LIlithmon who gets them easily.
LIlithmon says it's time to finish it all, but then Canoweissmon evolves to Siriusmon. They don't seem to have stock footage without Hiro prepped, so we get Hiro on the back for the evo again.
LIlithmon is surprised at the appearance of an Ultimate via evolution. She notes Siriusmon doesn't seem used to fighting yet, and beats him around a bit, while dodging his attacks.
She gets worried when she realizes his armor is strong enough to stop her attacks right before he clocks her and breaks her horns, as she laughs.
She's amused that he's learning so quickly. She notes hunting angels would be easy with him helping, even if he's a bit slow. Siriusmon declines and Lilithmon grabs Cerberumon, opens a gate on her own, and then leaves. As everyone is shocked she says she can go where she pleases. She looks forward to meeting Siriusmon again.
Siriusmon won't join her, but she wonders how the other one will feel.
It turns out some of the injuries to them weren't curses, so Thetismon can at least heal Lamortmon. Koutaro wakes up from being healed, then passes out thinking Ruli is an angel.
Kiyoshiro calls hospitals for the rest, Jellymon says leave it to them. Everyone agrees to help all they can. Angoramon is puffy.
Hiro thinks back to what Lilithmon said. It isn't a coincidence that Digimon are in the human world, someone is sending them.
Hiro's Study Files is... Lilithmon.
Overall not much different in the episode, although at least it was put together more solidly. The clues at a larger story are still rather unfulfilling, as it's roughly the same as last week. The pieces need to go somewhere, otherwise it's sort of just repeating things over and over, which has been an issue with Ghost Game. The episode itself feels mostly enjoyable to watch though.
