The penultimate episode of Macross (and thus the penultimate episode and issue of Robotech the Macross Saga), takes place at Christmas time. In the absence of Lynn Minmei (the popstar responsible for victory against the Zentraedi), Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayes have grown closer, however Minmei has run away from her cousin/manager/quasi-boyfriend Lynn Kyle and is reflecting on her current situation.
When Lisa reports in for duty she's invited to a Christmas party, and she lies saying Rick will not be able to attend due to illness, then Khryon and Azonia (Two Zentraedi commanders who did not side with the humans after the war) attack. Rick is not called up to combat them. Eventually he does sortie, but Khyron get's what he's after and leaves a nasty surprise of the citizens of Macross city.
Ah the infamous SDF-2 in the lake, didn't exist in the animation except references to in dialogue mostly in the last episode.
