Spider attacks the Edens Zero from within, prompting Hermit to order the crew to evacuate. A flashback reveals her history with Dr. Müller and his team, who used a machine to destroy the robot planet Hook, killing her colleagues while humans celebrated. Müller tortured Hermit for two years before his arrest, causing her to isolate herself from humans. Returning to the present, the crew refuses to leave her behind, helping Hermit realize she still wants human connection. Shiki encourages her, allowing Hermit to restore the ship's systems and defeat Spider with a prank missile attack, restoring her cheerful demeanor.
