Episode 12 Plot: Lev arrives in Sangrad to give his speech to the nation. Meanwhile, Anya knocks out the guards in the lab and helps Irina escape so they can go see Lev. Shortly after, government agents looking to eliminate Irina arrive at the lab only to find her missing. Lev initially gives a standard speech that doesn't mention Irina, and she loses heart and decides to return to the lab. However, Lev changes his speech and instead publicly reveals Irina's existence and that she is in fact the first cosmonaut. Inspired, Irina manages to storm the stage with Lev's help while Gegriev halts any attempt to stop them. Despite initial hostility from the crowd, Irina gives her own speech, expressing how Lev helped achieve her dream of reaching space before humans, and now her new dream is to go to the Moon together with him. This stuns the crowd, and Gegriev takes the chance to craft a new narrative, claiming that Irina was supposed to be present but was hampered by secret police. He then publicly chastises his political enemies and foreign nations like Arnack that still discriminate against vampires and announces he plans to reform Zirnitra and eliminate its authoritarian measures. After the celebration, Lev realizes that Gegriev and Lyudmila planned for him to reveal Irina's existence, and that Korovin threatened to resign from the Design Bureau if Irina was killed. Despite being uncomfortable at being used as a political pawn, Lev still looks forward with Irina to the day that Zirnitra and Arnack can overcome their differences and explore space together. Brief shots of the future show Arnack continuing with its own space program, and both Arnack and Zirnitran astronauts, consisting of both humans and vampires, peacefully coexisting on an orbital space station.
