In space, Athrun remembers [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 01 False Peace|the encounter with Kira on Helipolis]], [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 03 Collapsing Land|Miguel's death]], their [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 05 Phase Shift Down|first battle in space]], and [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 10 Separate Ways|Kira releasing Lacus to him]]. Nichol finds him, and lets him know that Yzak and Dearka landed safely on Earth, and will be staying at ZAFT's Gibraltar base for a while. Nichol wonders whether the orders they've received to return to the PLANTs means they're going to be punished for failing to capture or destroy the Strike and the Archangel, but Athrun tells him not to worry, since Rau couldn't manage it either, and rumors say that the return order is because they're going to be assigned to a new operation.
 
Kira awakens to find Flay watching over him. She explains what happened to him, telling him that he was unconscious when he landed on the ship, which is why he can't remember. In the hanger, Mu complains about the Skygraspers that were delivered before reentry, saying that since the Skygrasper mounts striker packs, he's been reduced to a delivery boy. Murdoch laughs, saying that he'd guarantee any delivery made by Commander La Flaga. Mu says he's grateful to Admiral Halberton for arranging his promotion, but wonders what the point is if he can't spend the extra money anyway. Murdoch points out that he even gave the Heliopolis students promotions; Kira is an Ensign, and the rest are Crewman Second Class. Murdoch asks how Kira's doing, and Mu says that his fever has gone down, but asks if Murdoch knows why Kira keeps calling the Strike "Gundam". Murdoch says it's on the activation screen; [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|General Unilateral Neuro-link]]... [[Blah Blah Blah|something]]. Murdoch thinks it's a better name than "G-Weapon", anyway.
 
The Heliopolis kids talk about how Kira's already getting better. Flay comes in the room, and lets them know that he's eating well, at least, though the doctor told him to stay in bed for the day. Sai says that maybe she should get some rest since she was up all night at Kira's side, but she says she's fine, since it's not like she has a job on the ship yet anyway. In fact, she's still a little worried, so she's going back to Kira's room. Sai tries to stop her, but she snaps at him. Then she tells him that since their relationship was arranged by her father and he's not around anymore, they shouldn't feel tied down to each other anymore. Sai tries to protest, but Flay just walks away. Flay remembers [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 09 The Fading Light|her father's death]], and [[Gundam Seed/Recap/Ep 11 The Awakening Sword|overhearing Sai say that Kira is friends with the Aegis' pilot]]. She tells herself that Kira is going to fight and fight and fight until he dies, because it's the only way she'll forgive him.

=== Tropes used in this episode: ===
 
* [[Engrish]]: The formal name for the Earth Alliance military is [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|OMNI]] Enforcer. On the Strike's boot-up screen, one of the random bits of text reads "OMNI Enf'''a'''rcer". Ouch.
* [[Flashback Nightmare]]: Kira has one, conveniently acting as the [["Previously On..."]] recap to help bring viewers back up to speed after the previous episode being a [[Clip Show]].
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The "new operation" Athrun mentions [[Sarcasm Mode|will obviously amount to nothing]].
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: We're reminded in this episode that "Gundam" stands for the General Unilateral Neuro-link Dispersive Automatic Maneuver synthesis system.
* [[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]]: The ''Archangel'''s position after the botched reentry.
