As the battle between the World Nation and White Fang heats up, Heero and Relena hide out on Libra. He wants to hide out until it is the opportune time to destroy the ship. He knows that Zechs and Treize are willing to sacrifice themselves for their beliefs, and he has no intention of stopping them. Relena wishes that the ship were destroyed so that Heero wouldn't have to fight Zechs. On Peacemillion, the Gundam pilots decide what faction they will join. They don't want to join Treize, but they realize they have to stop Zechs. They change course and head for Libra. When Zechs hears of the Gundams heading towards him, he goes out in Epyon with three mobile dolls for protection. Treize destroys mobile dolls and finds no excitement in it. The Gundam pilots attack Zechs, thinking they have an easy victory. However, the three mobile dolls work as a team to protect Epyon and are a formidable match.

On Peacemillion, Sally decides there is only one way to stop Libra. They order everyone to evacuate the ship and head for MO-II. They plan to ram Peacemillion into Libra's main cannon. Zechs flies away from the battle to stop them. Noin gets in his path, and he threatens to kill her. She doesn't move, and he nearly kills her before flying away. Peacemillion rams into Libra and sets off a massive explosion. Now, the main cannon is ruined. The battle still continues, and Quatre decides they have to enter Libra to destroy the mobile doll control system. Wufei leaves to find someone in the battle, and Noin leaves because she is too emotional to fight. Duo, Quatre, and Trowa enter the ship. Heero and Relena get into normal suits so that he can get Wing Zero and fight Zechs. Quatre explores the ship and finds Dorothy in the mobile doll control room, where she shoots at him. Duo explores the brig and the mad scientists. They tell him that they designed the flaw into the cannon that prevents it from firing consecutively. Even with the main cannon destroyed, Zechs has no intention of stopping the battle. He intends to ram Libra and Peacemillion into Earth. He watches the battle from atop the ship, and Noin lands nearby because she wants to be by his side. He vows that the worst is yet to come.

For one of the last episodes of the series, there isn't much going on here. Yeah, Peacemillion does ram into Libra, but that's about the only important thing that happens in this episode (hence the title). I did like Zechs' creative use of the mobile dolls to protect Epyon. That's actually a pretty neat idea. Heero doesn't do anything except hang out with Relena (which would drive me insane). I love how Quinze reacts to the ramming by cowering on the floor like a coward. Another weird thing about this episode is that even though people aren't talking to each other, each replies to the other's thoughts. If you watch, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's odd.
