As the episode opens, Hibari reports that the First Unit has gone offline. Tsubaki orders a search, but all the other guidance devices begin to act up. Johannes is seen authorizing Tsubaki to destroy the devices and locate Oguruma. As a number of civilians from the dam approach Lenka to report on their situation, Lenka remembers what Lindow told him, instructing everyone to assemble and directing Soma into battle alongside him. The civilians go to the aid of the First Unit members as Soma retrieves Sakuya.
