| 40 :04x01 - Rescue (Sep/28/1981) | Avon and the team must find a way off the primitive planet they are stranded on. Although Servalan has set numerous booby traps, they find a wondering space fairer to be their unlikely rescuer. The space fairer, Dorian, turns out to have his own agenda, and has sought out the Liberator crew because of their close connection to each other. Dorian it seems feeds on others “gestalt” via a monster hidden deep in his base.
However, can the Liberator crew escape Dorian’s lechery, and find a way to control his secret base? | | Guest Stars: Rob Middleton (2) as The Creature, Geoffrey Burridge as Dorian | Director: Mary Ridge

However, soon Avon gets captured by the male dominated Hommicks, and Vila gets tied up with the female dominated Seskas.

| 42 :04x03 - Traitor (Oct/12/1981) | As many of the former Federation worlds begin to quickly fall back under Federation control, Avon and the crew take the Scorpio to Helotrix, a planet currently fighting the pacification process. They must find out just how the Federation is making such great inroads in rebuilding its once great empire, and learn more about a possible pacification drug that they might be using to subdue these planets.
They find and meet the main resistance group on Helotrix, and learn that they have gained support from a secret supporter high up in the Federation’s occupation force. They also learn more about the new drug the Federation is using that causes citizens lose their aggressiveness, and instead become totally docile. The team must find a sample of this new drug to study, and also find out if the Federation insider is real, or just part of a double cross of some sort, if they are to help the Helots.

The scientist, named Justin, has succeeded in creating such animals, but they are now becoming rebellious. However, Justin has no interest in joining Dayna’s resistance group, just as he doesn’t want anything to do with the Federation anymore. He does, however, have strong personal feelings for Dayna.
Commissioner Sleer (Servalan) learns of their attempt, and tracks them down and is able to capture Dayna. Now the team must rescue Dayna, or risk the location of their base being discovered.
