In this episode, the battle between Father and the Elric brothers continues. The Elrics are aided by their friends Mustang, Hawkeye, Scar, and May Chang, who have also joined the fight against Father. Just when it seems like there is no way to defeat Father, Hohenheim, the Elrics' father, appears to help them.
Hohenheim explains to the Elrics that Father's power is actually a sacrifice of many souls, and that he has been gathering those souls over the centuries to become more powerful. The Elrics and their friends plan to use this knowledge to defeat Father by using Hohenheim's ability to communicate with souls.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Homunculi, "Father," is also planning to use the power of the Eye of Heaven, a massive transmutation circle, to gain ultimate power and become a god. To do this, he needs a sacrifice - his own family. He decides to use his Homunculus "children" to create the necessary sacrifices.
Later, the Elrics manage to destroy the Homunculus "children" and confront Father himself. During the fight, the Elrics continue to weaken Father's power by using Hohenheim's ability to communicate with the souls within Father's body.
As the fight progresses, Father realizes that he has been defeated and tries to use the power of the Eye of Heaven to escape. However, the Elrics and their friends manage to stop him from succeeding by using their combined strength to destroy the Eye of Heaven and seal Father away.
Overall, "Eye of Heaven, Gateway of Earth" is a thrilling and action-packed episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It reveals important information about the nature of Father's powers and shows how the Elrics and their friends work together to defeat him. The episode ends with the Elrics and their friends celebrating their victory, but they are left wondering what the future holds for them now that their mission is complete.
