Summary
In the year 847, Jean in his bed and under covers, is drawing a picture of some girl that looks like Mikasa while he was crying. His mother then approaches suddenly at the door of his room with food on her hands. An angry Jean, asks why she didn't knock the door and why she brought food. His mother answers that was almost noon, and she has been calling him a lot but he doesn't come down so the "Omu - Omu" came to call him. Jean inexplicably kicks her out of his room, tears the drawing in two, and vows to join the Military Police in hopes of living a pampered life in the inner city.

2 years after, the 104th Trainees Squad are sent to Jean's village. While some people were discussing worried about the return of some giant wild boar, Connie says that he was never been in that place, while Sasha states there should be a lot of delicious food too. An arrogant Jean, tell them that once they join the Garrison, and he to the Military, he could visit them anytime he wants. Armin and Marco wondered if Jean would visit his home, to what Jean angrily answers that they should shut up. A flashback shows that the trainees are there to practice a mock of defending Trost District, and Dot Pixis will be in charge of the operation.

In the first day of practice, Jean teams up with Armin and Annie, however Jean takes them far away from where they were supposed to attack, Armin notices this, and tells him that their mission is attacking the targets that passed the first line, but Jean reminds him that soldiers are only there to attack titans to what Annie adds that she thought that were only there to earn more points. When they find the first target, Mikasa stole Jean's kill, Jean is not surprised by this since he thinks "she's the only one who is better than him in the squad". When Jean and his team find other three targets, Connie appeares from Jean's back and takes his kill, while Jean was screaming at Connie because he followed him and stole his kill, Sasha and Reiner take down the two remaining targets.

After the practice, Jean argues with Connie and Sasha calling them cheaters because he found those targets first that any of them. Sasha says that models don't apply on hunting, to what Jean answers with an insult to Sasha calling her "Potato Girl", who took offense to the remark. Connie tells him to take it back, Reiner tells him that after all he was in their place when that happened. Connie states that Jean was getting upset for eveything and asks if the reason why he was like that is due to his mom. Sasha asks Jean if that's true, much to Jean's anger. When he was about to hit Sasha and Connie, Reiner stops the fight saying that they should calm down, and especially if he wants to join the Military Police. Jean says they should fix their problems in the next training day. Then Dot Pixis makes an appearence telling them that is forbidden to use the practices to fix discussions, that all will be fixed with a food contest at midnight. Jean at first is doubting it, but Sasha challenges him to do it so in the end he accepts the bet, who wins will never get into each other way. When all the soldiers are getting excited for the contest and the idea of Sasha vs Jean, Mikasa and Eren don't have any idea of what's going on. Sasha teams up with Connie and Reiner, while Jean teams up again with Armin and Annie.

Jean, Armin and Annie heads toward an old forest where Jean used to play when he was a kid, looking for the giant wild boar that was scaring the village. Annie asks Armin why they should hunt, Armin only answers that is an order to follow. Jean says that if they hunt the giant wild boar, they will have the best meat for the contest and they will win easily. However Sasha, Connie, and Reiner appear next to them, thanks to Sasha's ability of smelling meat. Once Jean and his team arrive to the forest, they got lost while Sasha's team are following clues and they find the giant wild boar sleeping. Reiner is pretty pessimistic about killing the animal and says that it is impossible and they should return. Sasha hits Reiner twice, and tells him that if that's the way he will try to save the world, Reiner apologizes her quickly. While on it, the giant wild roar wakes up and tries to escape. Sasha and her team goes after the animal. Jean and his team go after the animal too, however he's too fast for them, so Armin tries to distract Sasha with potatoes but is useless so Armin concludes "he can't win against the power of meat". Sasha kills the animal with an arrrow that goes perfectly into the giant wild boar's head. Later back in the village, Sasha, Connie and Reiner pressume the dead body in front of all citizens, while Armin, Annie and Jean are watching them, Jean eventually curses that moment.

Eren and Mikasa are putting boxes in a truck, while Eren is having a hard time with one box Mikasa, easily lifts 3 boxes without problem much to Eren disgust. Mikasa offers Eren a hand with the box, and Eren is not letting her help. Jean's mom appears in front of them, asking where she could find Jean. Meanwhile, Jean, Armin and Annie are eating, and Jean splits his drink on his pants. An officer calls Jean, due to his mother is there. Jean doesn't take her visit very well and he's ashamed of her for calling him Jeanbo, and trying to clean the drink he spilled on his pants. He humillates her in front of all his comrades, and kicks her out of the place. Eren reminds him that he shouldn't be that bad with his mother.

Later, Jean tells Annie and Armin his plan to steal meat from the superiors's grocers. Armin panics with the idea of stealing something from superiors and due to his moment of panic, he broke his leg while trying to run away from Jean's idea. Annie also disagrees with the idea of stealing something from the superiors. Jean has to do it in his own, while he was on it an officer stops him and gives him a bag that his mother sent him.

Jean opens the bag, and realize that his mother send him "Omu - Omu". Jean has flashbacks of his childhood and how his mother was always there for him and even how he really cared his mother, that she was the only person in this world that after all is the only one who thinks he's really a good guy.

Sasha and Jean with the help of their teammates are now preparing their meals to show them to Dot Pixis. When the time has come, Dot Pixis (who's very drunk) first choose Sasha's meal, being only a size of meat. Once Pixis tastes it, he eventually goes in an extasis - a bizarre mode inside his mind, he's fighting titans in an clear way and he is eventually is stopped by Krista, Mikasa, Connie, Eren and Armin in their hypothetic titan mode.

Once Pixis goes back to reality, asks for Jean's meal. Everybody has their doubts due to the simplicity of the food, to what Pixis only says "It looks pretty". After eating it, he stays quiet for a time, then procceds to give the winner of the contest.

To everyone's surprise Jean won, Armin and Annie congratulate Jean, while Sasha faces Dot Pixis saying that she can't accept the result and asks for an explanation. Pixis asks her what is meat; Sasha's answers meat is meat. Pixis explains her that means meat can't be nothing more than that and that's why she lost. Sasha cries over her loss but Jean offers her a hand to stand up and says to her that she wasn't the only one who was cooking after all. Both makes peace.

In the end, Jean says that he will be visiting his home the next day, while he says that we can see his mom sitiing in her home knitting and then we see Jean's bed with a letter from his mother with an apple on top of the latter.
