Quatre plays the piano to relax himself. Noin is surprised that he has such great ability. She tells him that OZ's mobile dolls are attacking more targets everyday. Quatre still expresses guilt over the loss of Trowa. In space, several mobile doll carriers heading for Earth are attacked by the Tallgeese. Zechs destroys all of them and returns to Howard's spaceship the Peacemillion. Now Zechs wears his mask again and goes by the name Zechs Merquise, not Milliardo Peacecraft. He asks Howard to tune up the Tallgeese, and Howard concludes that his skills have surpassed the capacity of the Tallgeese. Tubarov and Dermail discuss the problem of Zechs and the Sanc Kingdom. Dermail tells Tubarov to continue preparations for the attack on Luxembourg. Heero reads a book when Relena joins him and asks why he stayed this time. Dorothy interrupts them and gives Relena an invitation from Romefeller. In the letter, Dermail says that with the war ending soon, Romefeller is interested in the pacifist policies of the Sanc Kingdom. Dorothy drives Relena to the conference in Bremen.

In space, Zechs attacks the mobile doll carriers heading for Luxembourg. After Relena gives her presentation, Dermail confronts her about the hypocrisy of the Sanc Kingdom. He refers to Zechs attacking OZ in space and introducing himself to the colonies as Milliardo Peacecraft. Relena says that if the man attacking OZ is Zechs, then he cannot be Milliardo. After the conference, Pagen shows up to drive Relena home. Heero leaves to fight in Luxembourg, where a large number of mobile dolls are heading. Luxembourg is the base of the Treize Faction, and Heero believes that after that battle the mobile dolls will be sent elsewhere to fight. Zechs destroys about half of the mobile dolls and is unable to do anymore. Quatre and Noin are informed that mobile dolls are going to attack Relena's car. The mobile dolls attack, and Pagen is injured when the car crashes. Quatre and Noin show up in their Tauruses and save her. Relena begins to wonder if pacifism is nonsense, but Quatre convinces her otherwise. In Luxembourg, the Wing Gundam is crippled by an attack from the endless hordes of mobile dolls. Heero then gets a call from Treize saying that he can't die yet.

Well, this was actually a good episode. It was good to see Zechs again after such a long time, and actually fighting instead of preaching peace. Dermail finally confronts the whole Zechs/Milliardo thing, and Relena ruins his plans. This is his first attempt to assassinate her, but he won't be rid of her so easily (which is unfortunate). Treize also makes a brief appearance at the end after being gone for so long. Seems all the major players are back in the game.
