Tower of God season 2 episode 22 opens with the start of the Workshop Battle semifinals as Khun and Wangnan's team set their rescue mission for Baam into motion. First, two of Team Snake's members and Miya's subordinates confront them.

Rak and Yihwa stay behind to handle them while Wangnan, Quaetro, and Khun advance to summon Baam. Though initially outmatched, Rak regains his original size, and alongside Yihwa, they overpower their foes.

Elsewhere, FUG member Devil Bon provides Beta with a parasitic species Regular, Medina, enabling him to join the Workshop Battle. Beta becomes its host and heads to face his first opponents, Rak and Yihwa.

However, after Rak declares Baam as his prey and Yihwa, a member of the Ten Families, refuses to consider Baam, her friend, Beta shifts his target toward Wangnan and his group. As Beta leaves, Hatz informs Rak and Yihwa that he's an enemy since he trapped Baam, prompting them to pursue him.

Beta then faces Vespa, who claims to be the fastest Regular. However, Beta's Partial Ignition: Dionysos easily overcomes Vespa's speed. Just as Beta prepares to land a blow, Rak blocks the attack. Beta then realizes their true goal is to free Viole by summoning him.

Meanwhile, Quaetro takes on another challenger to clear Wangnan and Khun's path forward. The episode shifts focus to Baam, frustrated at being restrained while his friends face danger. When he tries to break free using his Living Ignition weapon abilities, Baam senses something unusual.

In Tower of God season 2 episode 22, Yuto meets Reflejo, and they discuss her betrayal despite being sent by FUG's elders. Yuto expresses disbelief that Karaka, whom Reflejo serves, would agree to turn Baam into a weapon. Removing her mask, Yuto reveals herself as Hwaryun.

She explains that she was aware FUG's supposed deal with Baam's friends was a sham and had gone along with it to further her true goal: making Baam the vessel to empower Enryu's Thorn. Ironically, FUG's plan inadvertently aligned with her intentions. Infuriated, Reflejo orders Ron Mei to kill Hwaryun, but she escapes, prompting him to send Varagarv after her.

Hwaryun joins the group, revealing her true identity as Yuto. Just as they prepare to escape, Ron Mei and Varagarv intercept them. Hwaryun urges Baam to press forward and reunite with his friends while she and the others hold off the attackers.

Elsewhere, Beta battles Rak's group but learns of Baam's escape. Determined to stop him, Beta abandons the fight and heads toward Baam.
