Fujiko and Chisa reunite with Hana. On the ship, the missiles begin launch prep while Team Summer B learns about Ango's past and the test.

Hana readjusts to other humans. Team Summer B works together to manually disable the missiles, but a series of passcodes complicates the process.

Problems persist in the ship as the spreading bacteria begins attacking. The missile countdown continues as the team makes a mad dash to exit.
