As this episode opens Harper and Rhade are arguing over the latter's bar bill; Beka and Doyle get involved and soon they have set off a full scale bar fight. As it breaks up Rhade states that they all know who is really to blame for their situation. He means Dylan but Trance enters at that moment and assumes they mean her. Believing she isn't wanted to leaves and heads down into the tunnels of Seefra One. Here she meets Orlund, a sweeper responsible for keeping the tunnels clean and safe, who mistakes her for a princess. He has also discovered ancient Vedran technology including a weapon that turns its targets into stone. Dylan and Doyle head down to the tunnels, looking for Trance.
This was an impressive episode; its start emphasised the tensions that have built up amongst the crew before giving us a good Trance centred story. This story tells us more about the Seefra system and how the planets are interlinked; especially after Orland demonstrates a certain piece of Vedran technology that he has found. Orland is an interesting character; nicely ambiguous and potentially dangerous; guest star Rob Daly does a fine job in the role. Regular Laura Bertram gets a chance to shine as Trance gets are larger part than she has had in most episodes of this season. We also learn a bit more about Doyle; a character I was initially unsure about but now rather like. Overall a good episode which provides details that should advance the overall season plot.
