Episode 3, “Space Fold”, is about the SDF-1 doing a hyperspace fold jump from the Earth to somewhere near Pluto.

Just as Roy finishes docking Hikaru's cockpit, a Regult suddenly appears and shoots at Roy's VF-1S. Technical error: the cockpit is still there on the VT-102.

Roy flies back to the SDF-1, and Hikaru calls Misa an old lady, actually "obaasan", which means grandmother. In Robotech, Rick calls Lisa an "old sourpuss"

Once Roy is back on the SDF-1, Hikaru asks Roy a question about war. This scene was reduced in Robotech, in which Roy merely says he has something for Rick and swerves the jeep.

Minmay asks Hikaru what he's referring to, but Roy helps Hikaru to avoid the question by quickly swerving the jeep

After the SDF-1 suffers losses of smaller spacecraft it was trying to rendezvous with, Captain Global wants to try a space fold, even though the fold system hasn't been tested.

Back in Macross City, in the shelter, the mayor wonders what's happening. We don't see the mayor in Robotech; we see only Jason and his family, and Minmay's aunt and uncle.

Captain Global descends back to Earth near South Atalia Island, and executes the fold jump. The fold transports not only the SDF-1, but a huge surrounding area, including South Atalia Island.

Before the fold jump, Hikaru took Minmay outside the SDF-1 in his fan racer, to try to return to South Atalia Island. They find themselves in outer space, then luckily get back inside the SDF-1 through a hole made from an explosion caused by a crashing Regult

After the fold, Captain Global gets a phone call (caller is not mentioned) that the fold system has disappeared. In Robotech, the call is from Officer Lang.
Next episode is “Lynn Minmay”.
