As Lelouch ponders the power he received from the mysterious green-haired woman, he is approached by a Britannian soldier, Villetta Nu, in a Knightmare Frame. Lelouch attempts to use his power to compel her to surrender her Knightmare Frame, but finds that his power doesn't work without direct eye contact. Thankfully, he is able to trick her into exiting her Knightmare by claiming to be a noble in need of protection.
Elsewhere, Suzaku awakens in an infirmary with his superiors, Lloyd Asplund and Cecile Croomy. He had survived being shot thanks to a pocket watch, a memento from his father, blocking the bullet. His injuries being superficial, Lloyd then asks Suzaku if he would like to pilot a Knightmare...
Back in Shinjuku, the Japanese terrorists fight the Britannians tooth-and-nail to protect the Elevens. Lelouch calls his classmate Shirley Fenette, who is watching news of the battle in Shinjuku, to get a better idea of the situation. With backup being out of the question, Lelouch decides to work with the terrorists in order to drive off Britannia. To this end, he begins to relay the positions of Britannian Knightmares to the terrorists, allowing them to ambush and counterattack and turning the battle in their favor.
A desperate Clovis gives Lloyd the go-ahead to deploy the experimental seventh-generation Knightmare Frame, "Lancelot". With Suzaku at the helm, determined to end the battle and prevent further bloodshed, the Lancelot is able to drive back the terrorists singlehandedly. Lelouch is forced into retreat, shooting a building to cover his escape and forcing Suzaku to abandon his pursuit in order to save innocent Elevens from harm.
As the terrorists speculate as to their mysterious ally, they are surprised to learn that Clovis has ordered an immediate ceasefire in Shinjuku. Lelouch had disguised himself as a Britannian soldier and infiltrated Clovis's mobile base, then threatened the viceroy into ceasing the purge on the Shinjuku ghetto. Once the battle had ceased, Lelouch reveals his identity to his elder brother...
