The gang battles The Morpho... well, sort of? Kiri has a conversation with a fellow Legion, and we learn about their plans. Shin's breakdown intensifies, and Frederica does something really stupid.  

I get annoyed because I can't tell what's going on, but don't worry, it's probably my fault somehow, not the production falling apart.  

You carry them all, Shin: [email protected]

Ernst is not pleased that Spearhead has been chosen for the suicide mission, and neither is Frederica.

I forget that prejudice is real for a few minutes, and also can't pronounce Nachzehrer.

Do you want to end up the same way, Shin?!: [email protected]

We finally find out what was in that letter, and it's not good.  

Spearhead becomes Spearhead again : (  

It's ok though, cos they have no family, so no one will be sad when they die : )  

You killed him, right Shin?: [email protected]

Shin gets a note that destroys him for some reason, and everyone in the Federacy attempts to fight off a large-scale Legion offensive.  

We finally see what's been going on in San Magnolia, and I say I'm proud of Lena at least three times (possibly more, I wasn't actually counting).  

It's time for you to be crushed, Lena: [email protected]

We have a relatively calm episode, which is an ok change after the straight-up carnage of the last one. However, Shin's emotional state may be deteriorating, and the Federacy is vastly underestimating how dangerous the upcoming attack will be. That's fine though, cos Shin and Raiden don't think it's a good idea to tell them the reason why Shin knows they're wrong. 
 
Also, I mispronouce Grethe's name so many times that I couldn't even fix it without redoing the episode (sorry, Grethe).  

But... are you doing ok, Shin?: [email protected]

The Federacy seems pretty nice, they even made them a monument and everything. However, there's still all this weird racism going on, and they suck at fighting the Legion a lot.

Someone probably dies, and it's so gory that I was impressed.  

Shin doesn't seem like he's in the best place mentally.  

Why didn't you save him, Shin: [email protected]  

The Spearhead gang adjusts to their new life without fighting and a lot less racism. Nobody's really happy about it, though.  

Frederica is 10 and generally annoying.  

Shin has a nightmare at the library (not a nice dream).    

I'm dead. I still want to go home, Shin: [email protected]

We start over from zero with Lena and a new group of processors. Nothing and everything has changed.
  
What happens to Spearhead, though? Nothing? Where is Shin's head? Still with his body or no?  
We mee
t some fun new characters (if you're into annoying kids, that is).  

Is it yours, Shin?: [email protected]

Spearhead is low on food, fuel, and ammo. They spend the night at an abandoned school.  
Kurena eats her last after dinner dessert.  

Lena visits the barracks.  

If, one day, you make it to our final destination, would you please leave flowers?: [email protected]

Spearhead Squadron has some quiet time in the wilderness, but Shin is acting very weird, and Raiden's noticed.

The gang visits the most depressing zoo imaginable.  

We see the world from Fido's perspective.  

Are you going to the other side of the water alone, Shin?: [email protected]
