In the Sanc Kingdom, Relena meets with her cabinet and discusses the implications of declaring themselves a pacifist country. Relena believes they have to set an example for other countries to follow. Elsewhere, Sally flies over the ocean in a plane carrying the Wing Gundam. OZ forces order her to surrender, so she crashes the plane in the water to prevent them from getting the Wing Gundam. Men working for Romefeller find the shuttle Heero and Quatre used and capture them. Heero bides his time by playing with dogs on the beach. He convinces Quatre that he should play with the dogs too. The commander of the men meets with Heero and Quatre and expresses his sorrow about turning them over to Romefeller for execution. Sally is held captive by OZ so they can confirm what's inside the plane that she crashed. Several OZ Cancers find the plane and cut it open, revealing the Wing Gundam hidden inside. Noin arrives at the local port, and she breaks into the building Sally is held captive in. She offers her help, and they both escape.

They find that they both know the Gundam pilots and agree to work together. Using some Pisces, they destroy the Cancers and get the Wing Gundam back. Noin asks if she can have it because she wants to give it to Heero. Sally agrees and goes off to find Heavyarms. Heero and Quatre find that only dogs are guarding them, and it's a signal from the base commander to escape. They steal a plane and attack an OZ carrier group. Heero steals a Leo and destroys the other ships in the fleet. They maroon the crew of the remaining ship at sea and set off. As Relena and Pagen drive home, he expresses doubts over the new transfer student Dorothy Catalonia. He is worried because she is the granddaughter of Duke Dermail. Relena isn't worried because Romefeller sent Dorothy to learn about pacifist education policies. Relena meets Dorothy in her office, and Dorothy says that she loves battles. Pagen contacts Noin and tells her his concerns. Noin says that she will protect Relena, even if it means resorting to foul play. Dorothy watches several planes fly overhead and wishes they would start a war.

Yet another run of the mill episode for this series. Heero plays with dogs?! That seems so unlike Mr. I'm Gonna Kill You to play with dogs. Okay, they steal an airplane just to get into a battle to steal a ship. Wouldn't it be better to stick with the plane? Sally and Noin have to get the Wing Gundam again, which is basically a repeat of Sally's previous battle to salvage it. This new character Dorothy looks like she'll cause some trouble. One thing I don't like about her is the very large forked eyebrows she has. Treize has these too, but not to the extent that Dorothy does. She'd look fine without them.

Overall Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
