Summary

After Mami's death in episode 3, Madoka and Sayaka are both crushed and frightened. Madoka begins holding doubts about the situation and becoming a Magical Girl, and tells Kyubey that she is too scared to become one at that moment. She visits Mami's apartment, crying, only to meet Homura outside as she leaves. Meanwhile, Sayaka continues visiting Kamijou at the hospital. Kamijou learns that he won't be able to use his left arm ever again, and out of frustration, becomes angry with Sayaka.

The same day, after Madoka has gone to Mami's apartment, she runs into Hitomi and discovers that Hitomi has a witch's kiss and is seemingly in a trance. Sensing a dangerous situation incoming, Madoka then agrees to follow her, only to find out that she was meeting others for a collective suicide. After stopping the process at the last second, Madoka then is swallowed in a witch's barrier, to be saved by Sayaka, who apparently spent her wish on Kamijou a little while before. Sayaka is now a Magical Girl, a fact that doesn't seem to please Homura.

The episode ends with the appearance of Kyouko Sakura.
