Episode Summary |
| |
The Advocacy take the risk of venturing into the outside world to fuel a powerful enough distillery to cure one of their fellow ailing comrades, and thus resume their collective leadership.
Meanwhile, this lack of guidance has caused a lapse of alien activity that seems to signal an end to the alien menace. But Harrison is increasingly obsessed with the belief that the threat is still in the air.

Episode Notes |
| |
Number 23: The Advocacy kill 23 people in the beauty salon.
| As of this episode, the shot of Richard Chaves playing with a Rubicks cube in the credits (which is most likely an outtake taken from "The Good Samaritan") is replaced with a shot from "The Second Seal" of Ironhorse pulling out his knife. This minor change remains the only visual alteration to the credit sequence throughout the season.
| Coincidently, Kim Coates, who plays one of the healthy Advocates' host bodies was in the film La Famiglia Buonanotte along with Ilse Von Glatz, one of the healthy Advocates. This means that there is only a 50/50 chance of them basically playing the same character.
| The newspaper seen appears to be dated Monday, October 3, 1988. Harrison's reference of the final scene taking place on the 7th backs this up. Barring another continuity error, this suggests that either this episode or "Eye for an Eye" were aired out of order since that episode is clearly set around Halloween.
| The Lyndon Power Plant shares its name with that of Barré Lyndon who wrote the 1953 film.

Episode Quotes |

Advocate #1: We took one brief journey among the humans, and now the survival of our race - a race superior to any organism in this galaxy - is threatened by an insignificant disease.
| Alien: We are nothing without your counsel, Advocate.
Advocate #1: A most prophetic observation.
| (to caged humans)
Advocate #2: Originally, we'd intended to put your brain matter to good use. Now you vile creatures can serve a higher purpose.
Advocate #1: Now we will use your bodies. Bring us the three strongest.
| Detective Harley: 20 years on the force, Roberts! I thought I'd seen everything, but now, they're stealing brains.
| Detective Harley: What would you do if you had all those brains?
Officer Roberts: Make detective, sir.
| Scott: You're finished now.
Teen Queen: I am? I thought a perm took a whole hour.
Scott: Not anymore. We don't have time.
Teen Queen: I hate it. What are you gonna do with this?
Scott: (holds up a bone saw) How about a little off the top?

Episode Goofs |

Harrison and Ironhorse walk into Sylvia's room and stop. However, the reflection in the mirror shows them walking in again as if for the first time.
| The door to Sylvia's room is open when Harrison and Ironhorse walk in, both times, but when it cuts to Harrison's reaction, the door is inexplicably closed.
| While in Sylvia's room, Harrison moves around to the other side of Ironhorse, so that he would be on Harrison's right. But without any indication that he has moved again, a shot of Harrison shows Ironhorse to his left again. He is even standing in front of the door again as in earlier shots.
