The Distant Promised Land
The Yamato arrives on Iskandar. Starsha greets them. She lives alone on Iskandar. Everyone else is dead. The humans came to Iskandar to get the Cosmo Reverser, the technology to restore Earth, but Starsha has second thoughts about giving it to them after she learns that they turned the Wave Motion Engine into a weapon.
The crew of the Yamato relaxes on Iskandar while they wait in the hopes that Starsha will change her mind. Kodai learns that his brother was captured by the Gamilans. The ship his brother was on crash landed on Iskandar. His brother survived the crash but died long before the Yamato arrived. He left a message for the crew of the Yamato.
Starsha ultimately decides to give the humans the Cosmo Reverser. The episode ends with the Yamato leaving Iskandar and heading back to Earth.
Thoughts
The previews for the next episode make it look like (a) Dessler may still be alive, and (b) the Gamilan desire to destroy the Yamato isn't quite as dead as it seems in this episode.
The scene where Kodai's brother's recording was played got to me. Aside from that I wasn't terribly moved by this episode. There wasn't a whole got going on in it.
