"We're always fighting our fears. We might end up dragging down our partner. We might end up failing to move our FRANXX correctly. We might become unnecessary. Will we be able to overcome our fears someday?"

- Ikuno

Plot
Papa announces that Klaxosaur activity has increased, and large ones are showing up everywhere. An APE says the Nines are dealing with them for now, but they still have other tasks to complete. One asks how long Strelizia will be allowed to goof off, now that Hiro's aptitude has been ascertained, they have no reason to leave it there. Marmoset says that it isn't wise to let her mix with tainted stamens any longer. One says that they'll have to ready a new stamen. The Vice Chairman says that there are many parasites who want to team up with her.

The other members of Squad 13 discussed Hiro and Zero Two, as well as the partner killing rumor.

Hiro was taking a bath when he heard Zero Two's voice. She was standing right behind him. Stunned, Hiro backed away, only to be pushed into a corner

...

"Forget those weaklings. Only you can be my partner"

Zero Two bowed down, her horns almost poking Hiro's face

...

Dead silence followed, only to be broken as Hiro gulped

...

"Or... are you just like everyone else? Do you think I'm a monster too?"

-Zero Two looks up, staring straight at Hiro

He stared back, giving her a "what? that's not it" look. But then the alarm sounded.

A giant worm Klaxosaur was heading towards Plantation 13. All Franxx but Strelizia were deployed to stop it.
