On Altea, Coran and Merla prepare for the first Celebration of Allura as Lance -- now helping on his family's farm -- relates Allura's story to a group of children. Later that night, Pidge, Hunk, Shiro, Lance, Keith, and Coran catch up at Allura's statue. Later that night, the lions bid goodbye to the paladins before blasting off into space.

The heroes engage Honerva in battle on the alternate Altea and attempt to follow her through the rift when she escapes into the source of all realities. Honerva destroys all remaining realities except for one; the team stops her from ending all existence by summoning a powerful thruster that drives Honerva into the collective consciousness of all existence. They plead with Honerva to stop her crusade, and Allura finally gets through to Honerva by reminding her of her time as an Altean scientist helping to uplift people. Allura says that she can manipulate the Quintessence in Honerva's vessel to restore the realities, but the team realizes she has to sacrifice herself to do so. She says her goodbyes to the other paladins before she and Honerva go to fix the realities. Keith and the others awaken in their lions and realize that they're in their reality, except Altea and Daibazaal have been restored.

One year later, Keith, Krolia, and Kolivan announce the former Galra Empire joining the Galactic Coalition in the name of peace. Hunk and his cooking crew (comprising of Shay and Romelle among others) caters a political dinner attended by Shiro and other leaders. Pidge and Matt put the finishing touches on a robot named Chip before Pidge blasts off in the Green Lion.
