over[Z]ealous is the tenth episode of season 1 of the NieR:Automata Ver1.1a anime series.
Summary[]
After Eve's destruction, 9S' body is sent back to the Bunker for repairs while the Commander orders 2B to eliminate Adam. 2B heads to Adam's last known location, which is a factory occupied by Machines that have formed a peaceful religious cult. 2B is led deeper into the factory to meet their leader, but it turns out to be a trap set by Adam, who uses his authority over the Machine network to turn the cult hostile against 2B. As 2B tries to escape, she encounters a Machine being remote controlled by 9S, who promises to help her. 9S shuts down the factory's power supply, allowing 2B to defeat a large Machine in her way while the rest of the Machines commit mass suicide in their religious fervor. Meanwhile, Adam's influence causes more Machines to go berserk as they start attacking everything in sight. 2B then receives a distress call from Lily requesting support at the Resistance camp.
Alternate Ending: 9S meets the maintenance androids Devola and Popola and starts drinking desert rose alcohol. Devola and Popola are then attacked by a horde of Machines, but 9S is too drunk to help them, resulting in all three of their deaths.
