This episode is yet another "moving the pieces" one.I think Cagalli has decided to put duty above love,and that looked much like her handing Athrun over to Meyrin.Athrun seems to understand Cagalli's decision.

And that Minerva mission was a crapload of shit they copied from Star Wars.Death Star Run,anyone?Dullindal sitting there even looks like the Emperor and at last Neo gets a MS(Akatsuki).Man,the Girty Lue sucked,it didn't even fired a single shot.And WTH are those DRAGOONs Rey's using,they look like melee DRAGOONs,not those on Providence
