& is the twenty-fifth episode of the Fire Force anime and the first episode of the second season.

Summary
Life has returned to normal as if the past events involving the Evangelist sent the White Clad had never happened. However, Shinra is still determined to find a way to turn Infernals back into people and unravel the mystery of the Evangelist and the Adolla Bursts. At Company 8, Maki, Iris and Tamaki take Shinra shopping for clothes for Lieutenant Hinawa because of his poor dress sense. They are suddenly are interrupted by a series of explosions, and when Shinra goes to investigate, he is attacked by a giant sentient Infernal which shoots balls of fire from its mouth. Arthur arrives and assists Shinra before the rest of Company 8 arrive and prepare to attack. Working together, the group temporarily defeats the Infernal but Victor discovers that it has five separate cores within its body which must each be destroyed. The Infernal revives and the team collaborate to destroy the cores within its arms and legs while Shinra attacks and destroys the central core with his powerful "Rapid-Man Kick".

Later, Captain Obi introduces Shinra to the highly competitive Fire Force annual male nude calendar project. However, their cheesy "double-cobra" pose results in Company 8's photo being relegated to last place as in the previous year.
