Highway Star
Josuke finds Mikitaka with a woman claiming to be his mother, but Mikitaka says he merely brainwashed her to believe that he is her son.
Josuke goes on the bus and finds Rohan sitting down, and the two have a brief confrontation. Rohan spots what appears to be a room in a tunnel in which a man bends over and severs the hand of an unconscious woman. He asks Josuke to look but Josuke thinks Rohan is trying to pick a fight with him. Thus, Rohan decides to investigate the tunnel on his own with his motorcycle.
Highway Star traps Rohan in the room and absorbs his nutrients to heal its user. Josuke felt guilty so he came to check up on Rohan and intervenes, but Rohan saves his life and sends him flying out of the tunnel. Highway Star chases Josuke but he hops on to Rohan's motorcycle and decides to go look for the user. While Highway Star relentlessly pursues Josuke, he encounters various obstacles before he is able to call Koichi. Koichi discovers the Stand user is in the hospital and goes there himself to figure out what room he's in.
Josuke arrives at the hospital in the nick of time and manages to close in on Highway Star's user, Yuya Fungami, after nearly having all of his nutrients drained. In order to not feel bad harming an injured person, he fully heals Yuya before pummeling him with a punch barrage, sending him flying out the window and into a fountain.

The Cats Likes Kira Yoshikage
As Yoshikage Kira continues his life as Kosaku Kawajiri, Shinobu Kawajiri finds a cat in the basement of the house. When it becomes aggressive and reveals a hole in its chin, she panics and attacks it with a broom. Kira investigates and finds the cat dead, killed accidentally by shards of glass. He tells Shinobu not to worry about it and buries the cat in the backyard.
The next morning, the cat has been reborn as a plant. When Shinobu approaches it, it remembers her role in its death and instinctively attacks her with its new power, the ability to manipulate air. Kira investigates and realizes the cat was a Stand user, likely created by his father to aid him.
When Stray Cat attacks Shinobu again, Kira defends her, unsure himself of his reasons. He is unable to defeat Stray Cat in battle, but manages to distract it, and moves the subdued plant to the attic of the house. Shinobu is touched by his concern for her, and feels that she and her husband have never been closer.
Meanwhile, Hayato is growing more suspicious of his father. One morning he secretly stays home to investigate the closet of his parents' room, where he has seen his father carrying soil and cat food. In the attic, he discovers the cat plant, and when he opens the blinds it attacks him as an instinctive reaction to the light. He manages to escape Stray Cat just in time to hide from Kira, who has come back to check on the attic. Kira, speaking to himself, lets enough slip that Hayato realizes his father has been replaced, and the impostor is extremely dangerous.
