nZ... is the twenty-sixth episode of the first season of Alphabet Lore, and the twenty-sixth episode overall.
Plot
N fades into screen. R, I, E, D and S (all lowercase) slide into screen and say their names. Finally, the camera zooms out, revealing F. He says "f", before everyone starts dancing to the tune of the alphabet song. The came zooms out further to reveal L and O staring at the group of letters, now spelling out "friends", angrily; the reason for this is unknown. L and O stare at both of them, and smirk, before agreeing on a plan. L gets into O's hole, and prepares to aim at N. R, I, E, D and S all run away in fear. O is then released from L, and slingshots onto N, hurting himself.
N sits on the ground, defeated, when F comes over to him and helps him get up. F glares at L and O, who are laughing. He grabs A, R and T to spell out the word "fart"; this causes L to fart. B, C, D, E, and H begin to laugh at him, with H being so deterred by the smell, they die and laugh at L as a ghost. F and N roll on the floor, laughing, causing the fart to disappear. F and N stop laughing while l and o look at each other in some sort of agreement, and proceed to beat up F; who cries out the "." period and ":" colon gems in response. F is then pushed into the letters R, I, C, and K; O looks at this and alerts everyone, with the word F is spelling being revealed to be "frick".
All the letters (except N; not counting G, P, Q and Y, as they weren't present) glare at F and start beating him up, especially J who shoots F in the teeth with a dot, making them sharp. During the fight, F cries the "," comma and "*" asterisk gems. F trips over N, and lies on the floor, wounded. He looks at N, who hides behind L, M and O who starts to ground him as the punish. F cries the "?" question mark and ";" semicolon gems before becoming angry and running away, running into g in the protestation, and cries out the "!" exclamation mark gem. The gems all rise to their respective owners (L, M, N, O, P and X) before the "?" question mark gem wipes their memories and flies to Q. Q eats the "?" question mark gem, and immediately sees the future. Q is distraught by this, and tries to reach the others; however, he is too slow to catch up to themselves.
F walks up his cave dejectedly, and looking onto the crowd of letters walking away, N who was looking at F's cave turns around with a frowning body before being surrounded by the word "COWARD". F turns from lowercase to uppercase, signaling the time change; the camera shrinks out to reveal Z as the planet. He cried the "…" ellipsis gems, teaching us a vital lesson, "if you act like coward, bad things will happen".

Trivia
- The title "nZ..." is a reference of the Alphabet Song, (after saying "Y", you say "and Z...")
- This, One, and Now I Know My ABCs are the only episodes where the letters can be seen when they are lowercase.
- When F cries a gem while being beat up, the person who beats him up ends up getting the gem, excluding Q and P (who was just there when F cried out his gems).
- This is the first episode whose events occur chronologically.
- This episode reveals that L and O are the real antagonists of the series, judging by what they have done in this episode. This was first briefly foreshadowed in R (episode), and further hinted in Y (episode).
- This episode technically does not introduce any new character as Z was seen since A; however, it reveals Z's full size.
- H laughing after they die could possibly be a reference to South Park's most infamous episode, "Scott Tenorman Must Die", when Kenny dies of laughter, then comes back as a ghost, still laughing.
- The way F, R, I, E, N, D, and S spelled “FRIENDS” is a reference to the eponymous sitcom.
- This is currently the longest episode of the series, clocking in at 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
- F's teeth are sharp because J shot him with his cannonball.
- This is the first full appearance of Z.
- This is the second appearance of H, with the first being his episode.
- It also reveals why H is a ghost.
- Pause at the right time when O hits N, it will read "on" & "no" (See images at the right).
- C Biting F makes a reference and technical foreshadowing to the episode, "U"
- B, J, K, U, V, and W are the only letters who did not say their names as lowercase.
- Z is the only one not shown as lowercase in this episode.
- There is a joke episode released on July 31st, 2022, "Z", where the blue Z says his name and it shows the credits. But it turns to be a joke.
Innuendo
- F spells frick, which is similar to the F word.
Goofs
- Y doesn't have her eyelashes during Q's vision of the future.
- In the shot of all the letters about to beat up f, x doesn't have the strings on his bands.
- When f cries the colon and period gems, o disappears in between shots.
- When the camera zooms out from n and the letters to show f looking from the cave, c's eyelids are visible despite facing away from f. In addition, almost every letter's body (such as r and v) faces the wrong way.
- This is Z’s first episode in which his full body is shown, despite appearing in every episode.
