When the Drago-Kazov prepare to attack the Sabra-Jaguar Pride, Andromeda is called into help the latter as they are now members of the Commonwealth. Shortly before they go into battle Harper receives a message from his cousin back on Earth; things are not going well there. The Drago-Kazov are taking more humans as slaves so they want help. Harper and Rommie head to Earth in order to kick-start a revolt so that when Andromeda gets there the Drago-Kazov forces will be in the open. First they must deal with those threatening the Sabra-Jaguar... this fight gets off to a good start; a little too good. Soon Andromeda and the Sabra-Jaguar fleet are caught in a trap!
This was a pretty good episode; there was plenty of exciting action and for once Andromeda couldn't help everybody as expected. The scenes on Earth provided plenty of back-story for Harper as he and his cousin talk about what really happened to his parents before he left Earth. Gordon Michael Woolvett was solid in the role. The look of occupied Earth wasn't too original with plenty of rubble and people living in underground bunkers... perhaps a bit 'Terminator' but that wasn't a huge problem. The action back on Andromeda was fun with Elssbett Mossadim-Bolivar, wife of the Sabra-Jaguar leader, verbally sparring with Beka. The battle in space was enjoyable with a surprise trap that ultimately required some fancy flying to escape. Overall not a classic episode but still a lot of fun.
