Monarch: Episode 6 Recap: Grief, Godzilla, and a Timeline-Shattering Twist
The episode begins two weeks earlier on Skull Island, where Hiroshi reveals to Kentaro that he once stepped through a rift in Alaska, ended up in Africa, and lost an entire year — but felt it was worth it to be with his son again. In the present, the group mourns Hiroshi’s death at his funeral, where Dr. Suzuki makes a surprise appearance.
Meanwhile, in the 1958 flashback timeline, Lee Shaw attempts to distance himself from Monarch — and Keiko — out of guilt over his feelings for her. After a disastrous meeting with his domineering military father, who secretly reassigns him to Vietnam, Shaw returns to Monarch and Keiko, their emotional dynamic stronger than ever.
Did Shaw Call Godzilla? The Ending Explained
Shaw and Dr. Suzuki travel to Mt. Osore with an upgraded, time-adjusted Titan phone. Their dangerous plan is to open a portal and summon Godzilla to deal with Titan X. Keiko and Cate heavily disapprove, especially after discovering that Titan X is simply a frightened, lost creature — not a destroyer. PRIMETIMER
Shaw proceeds anyway, but the signal does not reach Godzilla. Instead, the machine’s quantum energy distorts space and time, connecting to an unexpected source — leaving the outcome deeply unresolved.
Lee’s radio crackles to life with a distress call: “This is Major Leland Lafayette Shaw III… My crew is dead. My vehicle is damaged. My food has run out. Control, I need an extraction.” It was Young Lee — trapped inside the Axis Mundi — speaking directly to his older self.
The Monsterverse just established genuine cross-timeline communication between two versions of the same character — and it’s one of the boldest moves the franchise has ever made.

Why This Twist Changes Everything
As Suzuki explained it, there was a chance that the rift’s residual energy, when combined with the power they were pushing to find Godzilla, could lead to quantum distortions. In trying to bypass the interference, they used Shaw as a conduit — which ended up being why Young Lee got on the radio.
This means the Axis Mundi doesn’t just warp space — it warps time in ways Monarch has only begun to understand.
