Megatron interrogates Suzaku on his intentions via Cortical Psychic Patch. Meanwhile, Lelouch finally reveals to Nunnally his identity as Zero, later on Rai opens up to the heroes about his traumatic and forgotten past.


  • Blackmail: Megatron learns that Suzaku knows that Lelouch and Nunnally are alive. While he himself already knows, he decides to use this as leverage against Suzaku.
  • Cooldown Hug: Shirley hugs Rai to reassure him of the good he's done in light of his past.
  • Disappointed by the Motive: Megatron is not impressed with Suzaku when he finds out that the reason why he joined the military was because he killed his father.
  • Internal Reveal: Megatron learns about Suzaku killing his father, along with how that he knows that Lelouch and Nunnally are alive, Lelouch reveals his identity as Zero to both Nunnally and Sayoko... and learns that the two suspected him of being Zero for a while, with Sayoko admitting to having joined the Black Knights to keep an eye on Lelouch. Rai tearfully reveals his past as one of Charles zi Britannia's sons to Shirley, Lelouch, Fixit, Bulkhead, and Optimus.
  • Kick the Morality Pet: When Euphemia tries to convince Cornelia to sever their alliance with the Decepticons and that Britannia was in the wrong for the current state of the world and needs to change, this culminates in Cornelia backhanding Euphemia after the latter states that Cornelia is just like their father, Charles. This leads to...
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After Euphie leaves immediately, feeling hurt and betrayed in response to the above action, Cornelia is instantly filled with regret.
  • Pass the Popcorn: No popcorn was consumed (due to the audience being alien robots), but Shockwave, Rumble, and Frenzy were watching Megatron's interrogation of Suzaku with interest.
    Frenzy: This is gonna be juicy.
  • Power Nullifier: In light of Lelouch's Geass evolving unnaturally thanks to V.V., Lelouch requests from Ratchet and Fixit two specially-made contact lenses to prevent himself from accidentally controlling anybody. The test was successful with Shirley, who volunteers.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Megatron gives a long one to Suzaku over how his ideals and actions to achieve them are incredibly childish, ending by telling him that, should Suzaku not start getting results, Megatron will have him removed from the military.
