The Victorian Nightmare
Arriving at the Victoria base with the Tallgeese, Zechs meets with and old friend from the Academy - Lucrezia Noin, who trains the new Specials recruits. As a new group of recruits graduate, Wufei Chang plans his attack. In the middle of the night, the base is suddenly rocked by a number of explosions, killing most of Noin's new recruits. All available resources are used to hunt down the Gundam pilot, and as Noin eventually find him, she expresses her surprise that "he's just a kid". Wufei, who had given up by then, opposes Noin because of this and the fact that she is a woman and escapes.
Duo tries to drag some answers out of Heero, but fails. As new mission instructions arrives for Heero, Duo realise that Heero must be one of the Gundam pilots.
On a cliff by the ocean, Relena shouts for Heero to hurry up and come back and kill her.
At a political meeting, plans on dealing with the rebel colonies are plotted out. Mr. Dorolin opposes these plans.
Treize plans for the capture of the Gundam pilots, and how to deal with Mr. Dorolin.
Back to the hangar Duo and Heero are staying at, Heero leaves early in the morning for his mission, and Duo is amazed at the repair abilities Heero displayed - apparently he had repaired the whole thing without any spare parts. Moments later, someone reports that Duo's Gundam had been stripped of those spare parts... Duo is not pleased. Heero, meanwhile, executes his mission with the perfection you'd expect from him.
Trowa and Quatre take a break from the war and play music together in a duet. The Maganacs are worried about Trowa's Gundam - it may be the only one who can match Quatre's.
Back at the Victoria base, Noin begs Zechs to let her join him, as she must now wipe away her disgrace from the failure of capturing the Gundam pilot.
