10. Higher Than the Sun
Blue glass ball.

After hearing about a spot with good waves coming, Holland prepares the Gekkostate for a trajectory flight to fly over the atmosphere to arrive in time. Eureka, Renton, and the children are spending time in the hangar together when the warning for the flight occurs. Thoughtfully, Eureka tosses a barf bag at Renton saying that it will be a rough trip. When the Gekkostate has reached zero gravity, the kids are impatient to run free. The group heads to the ship's windows in order to see the planet that they all live on . . . Eureka looks uncomfortable as she looks at an impossibly large storm spreading over a part of the world, the Great Wall, but Renton is distracted from her troubled expression by the feeling of her pressing against his back.

Once they land at the wrong location, an old military base, everyone heads in their own directions. Eureka asks if Renton is going to go lifting, but she says that she wants to stay where she is when he asks about her plans. In turn, Renton says that he will stay with her because of zero gravity. She is confused about this reason, but she says that it is nice. While the kids sleep, Eureka tries to do some repair work, but Nirvash will not open up for her, only opening for Renton. As he goes on to help her with another part, Eureka covers his hand, asking Renton what she should do since her voice won't reach Nirvash.

Renton goes on to check the rest of Nirvash as he realizes her unease with the machine, but he considers the problem to be mechanical, not psychological. Eventually, Eureka comes to sit closer to him, looking at Nirvash from the same perspective, while appearing completely lost. Again, Renton is distracted by Eureka, drawing close for a kiss, but is immediately teased by Jobs and Woz about letting it all spill out. As he tries to make a confession, the two interrupt again, and Renton gives up while Eureka is confused by what Renton is supposed to say.

After the check, Renton and Eureka watch the sunrise together until a bird lands in Renton's hair which makes Eureka laugh. The children come up to check out the bird, but it flies off to join a group to sky fish.


+ This is Nirvash's rejection of Eureka immediately after Ciudades del Cielo. She does not react well to this turn of events, and it continues to plague her for the rest of the season.
