Plot Summary[]
Aftermath (Part Six, Finale)[]
Back at Mech Czar's headquarters, the Czar and Chris Dubango watch Joshua Griffin's Rogue Jaeger, Enforcer, fall under Baby's attack. Joshua decides to use damaged Enforcer's Teslia coils and detonates the Jaeger. Assuming Joshua died, Mech Czar takes matters into her own hands and climbs into her Rogue Jaeger, Atomic Queen.
Joshua, who survived the explosion, tries to fend Baby off as it continues to tear and pull at the remains of Enforcer. Mech Czar arrives just in time to divert Baby's attention away from Joshua. As she fights Baby, she demands that Joshua help her. Joshua hesitates. When it seems that Killer Queen has the upper hand, Mech Czar experiences an overload, and the Jaeger explodes before Chris can eject her Conn-Pod.
Martina sneaks up on Chris and knocks him out as Joshua begins to contact him. Using Chris' earpiece, Martina reassures him that his friend his fine. Joshua tries to make excuses for his actions toward Martina, but she rebukes him and leaves Mech Czar's headquarters. When Joshua realizes she's no longer there, he takes aim at Baby with Hannibal Chau's Fossil Fueler.
Hannibal Chau (Part Six, Finale)[]
Back at Chau Industries, Elora Reddy uses Hannibal Chau's Fossil Fueler to fire on the Human-Kaiju Hybrid, distracting it long enough for them to escape certain death. Chau presumes that because the Kaiju shared a hive mind, the hybrids that shared his DNA like shared the same with him. Elora and Chau drive toward the part of the city where Joshua and Baby are still fighting, leading the other hybrid away from Chau Industries. Chau prevents Joshua from killing Baby long enough for the two Kaiju to meet.
Baby and the other Kaiju begin to fight, tearing each other apart. Joshua eventually kills the Kaiju using Chau's weapon, firing on its severed venom tubes. Chau and Elora watch the hybrid burn before going their separate ways. Three days after the incident, Chau prepares to restart his efforts to rebuild his business when he's shot in the shoulder by Elora. Chau tries to get Elora to consider working for him again with the opportunity to create more hybrids. Elora, furious about the death of Xue, rejects his offer, and kills him.
I Am Pentecost (Part Six, Finale)[]
Reliving the moment of Stacker Pentecost's death during the Battle of the Breach, Jake makes peace with the fact that his father is nothing than a memory in the Drift. Still experiencing Chuck's memories from that day, Jake worries what will happen to him and struggles to disconnect from the Drift.
He overhears what he assumes are Stacker Pentecost's "last words" to him in thought right before he detonates the nuclear bomb on Striker Eureka's back. Outside, Giovanni Capello's men find one of the men Jake knocked out earlier and proceed to search the grounds for any signs of an intruder. Jake manages to escape Giovann's mansion and admits to himself that he will never be like his father.
