Hibito is recalled back to NASA in order to take up his new role. Ivan objects but is criticized by a colleague for having a personal stake in the matter, as his father suffered from panic disorder too. Ivan encourages Hibito to continue his rehabilitation in America. Upset at the news that Hibito is leaving, Olga goes to visit him and gives him the second volume of her childhood dance videos. As they part ways, Olga tells Hibito stories about Yuri Gagarin and promises to tell him what Gagarin said about the world when next they meet. Hibito resolves to recover and come back to Russia on his own terms. This is the final episode with a post-credits Mr. Hibbit episode in this arc—in which Mr. Hibbit and his crew finally make it to space.
