The actual plot begins to show up again after a rather long hiatus as the Queen's butler Ash Landers shows up to give Ciel another task to complete. It seems a nearby monastery has begun preaching heretical doctrines, developing into some kind of doomsday cult which worships a magical book that records all of one's sins and virtues, and are plotting to overthrow the government. Ciel and Sebastian visit the Undertaker to follow up on a lead, and run into Grell, who reveals that he's been sent to investigate the theft of several Cinematic Records (the record of a person's life which unfolds like a movie reel upon a human's death and allows the Shinigami to judge them). Turns out that these Cinematic Records are recorded in book form, and that one of these books is likely what the cult is worshipping.
The foursome join forces, and the Undertaker attempts to smuggle Ciel, Sebastian, and Grell into the monastery. Their attempt fails miserably, but the three are welcomed in anyway. The theme of filth and uncleanliness is brought up again, as the new "recruits" are accused of being unclean and told by a nun that when they were initiated they would be purified. Sebastian seduces the nun and gets information out of her about the religious sect while banging her in a nearby barn (yes, seriously, and rather graphically). She tells them how young boys are being selected to join "Heaven's Choir" and that their voices are always heard from the Founder's bedroom *wink wink nudge nudge ew*. Ciel is the obvious choice to be molested infiltrate and get close to the Founder so they can find out more. Sebastian appears to be able to smell the taint of angels throughout this monastery.
They attend a mass which appears to work rather like an exorcism, as two people's sins are put on display and they are purified. Afterwards, Ciel is told that he's been chosen for Heaven's Choir. A couple of nuns try to strip him to clean and purify him for this honour, but Sebastian manages to convince them to let him do it, using the power of his extreme sexiness. Master and demon have a bathtime heart to heart about what they've learned so far. It seems that Ciel believes that this cult is connected to the death of his parents, as the exact same symbol displayed in the church was branded onto Ciel's skin during his imprisonment.
AND THEN THINGS GET CREEPY. The Founder turns out to be a freakish golem formed of parts of Ciel's mother and father. Ciel calls for Sebastian to kill the twisted thing, and Sebastian shows up and dramatically does so, only for Ciel to be kidnapped by Angela, who is finally revealed to be an angel. Angela attacks and binds Sebastian with the Cinematic Record book, and Grell is reasonably useless at preventing her from escaping. At the last moment, Sebastian and Grell manage to leap into the portal Angela created, following her and Ciel.
Angela attempts to rewrite Ciel's memories of his past, pretending that her goal is to give Ciel peace from his torment and remove his sins. Angels are able to make a person's past seem good, even the bad stuff. Ciel rejects this, preferring his pain and hatred to an artificial happiness. Meanwhile, Sebastian and Grell arrive at the Library of Shinigami, and join up with William T. Spears, who isn't pleased about letting a demon in, but is even less pleased to have an angel running around. The two Shinigami and one demon hurry to rescue Ciel. When they arrive, William tells Sebastian that he can't intervene, because if the rewriting of Ciel's Cinematic Record is halted halfway, Ciel will wind up damaged. Sebastian is horrified that his soul, which he's nurtured, is being purified. Thankfully, Ciel manages to break free all on his own, leaving his soul nice and tainted with hatred. Sebastian gives Ciel a rare moment of honest praise, telling him that he always exceeds his expectations.
