[x] Remove Ad
The crew watches Rev Bem's farewell message, not sure whether or not to pursue him, or let him leave. Dylan says that they should respect Rev's decision to leave, but Harper snaps at Dylan and storms out. He is upset because Rev had promised to remove the Magog larvae from his gut. He writhes in pain, but when he tries to take his medication, it has no effect, as the larvae have grown immune to it, as Trance and Rev had warned him they would. Soon after, Harper enlists in Chief Technical Director Hohne's help, as well as the other Perseids. Harper plans to build a machine that will fold space to remove the eggs, but it's affecting time, as well.

Opening quote:
"Spiral, spin, ride the whirlwind.
Knowing when the drumming stops,
There'll be no second dance."
Ulatempa Poetess,
"Rhythms" CY 9825
| This episode marks the death of Höhne (Alex Diakun).
| Robert Hewitt Wolfe's one-act play, Code, occurs during the events of this episode and says that the rest of the show as played out in the episodes is one possible future envisioned by Trance (and possibly under the influence of Sparky Cola).
| The scene between the Trances was voted #7 in the Top Ten Scenes at the official site.
| The 'wide' shots of Rev Bem are not Brent Stait, but a body double. Brent Stait did, however, do the close-ups and the voice over.
| Brent Stait leaves the show at this point due to the actor's allergic reaction to the heavy make-up.
| Title: Ouroboros
Ouroboros is a Greek word meaning 'Infinity'

Episode Quotes |

Rommie: Harper, are you sure this is wise? You barely understand this technology. If it doesn't work--
Harper: I know, I know...It'll twist me into an abstract painting. (poses) "Harper, Descending Staircase".
| Beka: Umm...I'm...sensing freakiness.
| Harper: I don't believe in destiny. I don't even believe in density, except in the heads of Perseids--it's a compliment--I believe in Seamus Zelazny Harper. I cogito, therefore I sum, and I sum to cogito that damn machine right out of existence. Capice?
| Rekeeb: Your human tendency towards violence...
Harper: ...pales in comparison to my human tendency not to give up!
| Beka: Trance! You will never guess who I just met!
Trance: A scary futuristic version of yourself? She went that way.
| Beka: Thanks.
Future Beka: Don't mention it.
Beka: You, uh...You're me.
Trance: Beka, help!
Future Beka: I can't get into this right now. Later. (leaves)
| Trance: You're me...from the future.
Future Trance: More or less.
Trance: Did everything turn out the way it was supposed to?
Future Trance: No, things are bad and they're getting worse. I made a lot of mistakes.
Trance: So are we going to lose?
Future Trance: At best, we are not going to win. (puts hand to arm) You know what we have to do. (Trance nods)
Trance: Is it the only way? (Future Trance puts her arms behind her back)
Future Trance: There is one perfect possible fututre but I have not seen it yet.
Beka: Um...could someone provide me with a translation, please?
Trance:"Beka, I have to go. But don't worry, I'm not really leaving I'm just...changing. Everything will be okay, you'll see? (She walks into a portal and disappears)
Beka: Where'd she go?
Future Trance: She didn't go anywhere. She grew up. She's me.
| Harper: (After Trance activates the tesseract machine) What did you do?
Trance: I saved your life.
| Harper: Engineer heal thyself.
| Tyr: We need a plan. You, THINK OF ONE!
