A quick recap of Dark Gathering episode 7
In the previous episode, fans saw that Eiko and Keitaro had confessed their love to one another, and Keitaro had also made the decision to aid Yayoi. Further, Yayoi revealed the name of the spirit that she had given to the one who had taken her mother, the Spectre of Death.
As the episode progressed, Keitaro and Yayoi found Spirit and headed there while Eiko drove them. When the three arrived at their destination, which was a road tunnel, Eiko claimed to have heard rumors about the tunnel. However, the spirit soon became visible to them as they were present.
Yayoi then allowed it to enter their vehicle, and Keitaro captured the spirit. Following that, Keitaro was seen at home, but as he fell asleep, the tunnel spirit captured him. On the other hand, as Yayoi and Eiko returned home, Yayoi realized they had been duped and another spirit had been captured.
After that, Yayoi and Eiko went to Keitaro's house, where Yayoi battled the spirit and managed to subdue it. Following that, the next day, Keitaro was seen at Yayoi's house for her tuition, where Yayoi claimed that they had been making progress in capturing spirits. However, just before the episode was about to end, Keitaro got a call informing him that he had been assigned a new student.
