The Andromeda has been asked to transport Elssbett Mossadim, a Nietzschean princess. She is from Pride Sabre and is due to marry a prince from Pride Jaguar in order to secure peace between the two previously warring prides. This is something Tyr is very supportive of as these two tribes together will be a threat to his enemy; the Dragon Pride. When the Princess boards Andromeda he immediately offends most of the crew as she assumes they are Tyr's slaves... or in the case of Trance a pet purple monkey! Things then get worse when they are ambushed by the Dragon Pride; as Andromeda leads them away Dylan and the princess head to the Sabre home world in the Eureka Maru. Soon Dylan learns that her plans weren't quite what he was told; this knowledge puts him in immediate danger.
This was an enjoyably episode with amusing as well as action packed moments. The laughs are provided by Harper's reaction to the princess's condescending attitude... he thinks it adds to her hotness! The action includes the attack on Andromeda by the Dragon Pride's ships and an impressive fight between Dylan and the princess in the confined space of the Maru. This includes the use of a mono-molecular whip; a dangerous weapon that will slice through anything... including the hull. The story provides some decent twists and a further insight into the murky world of Nietzschean politics. The regular cast are on good form, for once all the regulars appear, and guest star Kimberly Huie impresses as Elssbett Mossadim. Overall a good episode that fans of the series should enjoy.
