Episode Title:
Separation.
Episode Description:
Before his death, Fairlock appoints Ridget as his successor. Meanwhile, Chamber informs Ledo that he finally managed to pinpoint the location of their civilization in space, but it may take thousands of years until someone picks up their distress signal due to their current location on Earth. As Fairlock's funeral is held, several dissident ships agree to follow Pinion's plan and prepare themselves to secede from the Gargantia. With Melty deciding to leave with them, Amy later tells Saaya that she cannot abandon Bebel, even though Ledo is leaving as well. Bellows reminds Ridget to not burden herself, as she will always have the rest of the fleet to support her. Seeing how much his sister is suffering with Ledo's decision to leave, Bebel tries to discourage Ledo from leaving. However, Ledo says that his drive to kill the whalesquid also comes from his desire to protect both Amy and Bebel from the Hideauze. Ridget then sees Fairlock off as his body is sent into the ocean, and she asks the members of the Gargantia to lend her their support. Soon after, a devastated Amy watches as the dissident ships leave the Gargantia, with Ledo aboard them.
