Еп. 29: Менорі веде переговори про обмін заручниками, поки Гоуард отруєний, а Адам прибуває з гігантським ракоподібним.

29

Menori, acting as spokesperson, tells the escapees to put down their weapons and move away from them, and Brindo plays along. They start the hostage exchange, but Brindo catches Kaoru heading towards the discarded weapons, and Zilba pulls out a needle gun and shoots at him. In the resulting confrontation, Howard gets hit by a needle. The children cross the river to escape, but find themselves still in range of Brindo's laser gun. Things look dire until Adam arrives, followed by the giant crustacean from the ruins, acting under Adam's unconscious control, which distracts the escapees long enough for the children to escape. They head for the ruins, relying on the illusory forest to slow the escapees down, leaving Kaoru behind to watch them. At the ruins, they lay Howard in the cold-sleep capsule, and Porte gives him an antidote for the poison in the needle. In a feverish dream, Howard relives the last year of his life, from school, where he was always surrounded by followers, to now, where none of the other children ever do what he tells them. He realizes, however, that now is the first time he's ever had true friends. When he awakens, he admits to the others that it was he who'd pressed the release button on the shuttle during the gravity storm. Luna recognizes his courage in telling them, and the children all swear friendship together. (Source: Wikipedia)
