Emma's Defection:
Camille shoots wildly at Jared's Hizack, then closes in and tries to
beat it to pieces with the Mark-II 03's "bare" hands. Quattro and Emma
try to stop him, but Layla attacks and drives them off. Camille is
captured and Quattro calls a cease fire, regrouping his forces to
fight another day.
Franklin has the freedom of the ship aboard Alexandria, albeit under
armed escort. On his way to confinement, Camille accuses him of
contriving his mother's death -- he knows all about his father's
mistress Margarita. Camille is then accosted by Jared, who mocks him
for his unmanly attachment to his mother. Emma Sheen intervenes, but
the damage is done -- Camille silently swears bloody vengeance.
Basque's hostage operation convinces Emma that she's been fighting for
the wrong side. She frees Franklin and Camille from the brig and
engineers an escape from the Alexandria with all three Mark-II
prototypes. Layla tries to stop them in her Galbaldy-Beta, but is
forced to retreat by Quattro's Rick Dias.
Father And Son:
The captured Mark-II 02 and 03 are partly dismantled for repairs.
Franklin offers a few suggestions, then grabs a laser torch and forces
one of the workers to get him into Quattro's Rick Dias. He escapes from
the Ahgama, hoping both to redeem himself in the eyes of the AEUG and
earn a great reward for himself and his mistress with the capture of a
piece of AEUG's best military hardware.
Quattro gives chase in the Mark-II 01, followed closely by Camille in
the one-armed Mark-II 03 -- its left arm is still being repaired.
The Mark-IIs and Rick Dias are attacked by the Alexandria, which is
unaware of Franklin's escape. Quattro's Mark-II 01 is disabled as Camille
arrives on the scene. Camille gets the drop on his father's Rick Dias,
but is unwilling to shoot him. Franklin doesn't share his son's
reservations and empties his magazines in a vain attempt to hit Camille's
wildly dodging Mark-II.
A shot from the Alexandria settles the matter, blowing a hole through the
Rick Dias, which explodes just as Franklin is bailing out. Camille has
lost both his parents to Titan ruthless, watching them die just a few feet
away, unable to save them.
Back on the Ahgama, Quattro tries to console Camille by telling him about
Char Aznable, who acted entirely on his own and kept his feelings to
himself until he'd avenged the deaths of his parents. Camille is
unconvinced, but Emma Sheen and Reccoa Londo notice the change in
Quattro's character.
To The Terrestrial Range:
Titan supreme commander Hyman Jamitov and Basque Ohm try to determine the
Ahgama's next target, which appears to be a Solar Battery Satellite.
Camille begins designing the Z-Gundam (MSZ-006).
Layla and Jared have an argument over their relative status, but Jared
gives in and tries to make amends before she goes off on her next
mission.
As the Ahgama prepares to drop Reccoa into South America to spy on the
Titan HQ in Jabrow, Quattro and Camille make a diversionary attack on a
Solar Battery Satellite, the expected target, to cover her descent.
Looking up at the night sky from his home in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Amuro Rei
witnesses the battle as meteoric lights in the sky.
