To honor their fallen comrades, the ''Nautilus'' sets course for the underwater graveyard of Atlantis. On the way, Nadia begins to question everything that has happened and wonders why she was chosen to wield the Blue Water.

Jean learns from Sonar Officer Eiko that the latter was a survivor on a French ship which was sunk by the ''Garfish''. The boy is traumatically shocked when he adds that its captain is none other than his missing father.

As the coffins are prepared for burial, Jean wanders off alone and throws away his wrench, deciding that he no longer wishes to invent if technology is so dangerous. Nadia is sad to see him so gloomy and tries to cheer him up. She succeeds by reminding him of the promise he made to her when they were in France.

The episode ends when Fait and his comrades are laid to rest in the soil, with Nadia crying on Jean's shoulder.

*** Similarly, the giant skeleton serving as the front entrance will make more sense after the Adam reveal in Episode 37 (the implication is that this was another early genetically-engineered human). The gateway responding to Nemo's Blue Water also hints the Blue Waters are master control keys to Atlantean technology (which is why Gargoyle is so desperate to acquire them, as he needs them to locate and access ''Red Noah'').

** There are subtle hints even this early that Atlantis is what's left of ''Green Noah'': The controlled environment, the semi-still-functioning machinery, the ''Nautilus'' docking with the Tower of Babel, and even the question of ''how'' such an advanced city could've been built this far underwater 12,000 years ago.

* Jean's test on the Blue Water. The strange markings as viewed through the microscope (which we've seen here and there) are electronic circuits (though Jean doesn't have the technological context to recognize that). That, combined with the Blue Water's being able to cut through a piece of ''Nautilus'' hull is another clue it's origin is not of this world.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Played with Eiko having been on the same ship as Jean's Father. On the one hand, it ''is'' coincidental, but it also ''can'' be justified given the ''Nautilus''' own clashes with the ''Garfish'' (and that rescued survivors are recruited into the fight against Gargoyle).



** A welter of voices can be heard when Nemo uses his Blue Water to open the gates to Atlantis -- and boy, do they sound ''pissed'' at him. ''Why'' will be clearer after Episode 22.
