The crew finds their ship is trapped in a strange place, with solid ground underneath and breathable air outside. Also, all around them are spaceship debris, all lacking their normal herculanium molecules; the same molecules that Liberator has in abundance.
They find they have been captured by a strange being, known to be one of the gods of Cally’s people, but banished by the other gods after killing a fellow god. The Thaarn, as he is called, plans to use the power of the black hole and the herculanium which his slaves are mining, to return to rule his old domain.

Jarvik sets his trap on a planet he knows Travis will go to next – Kairos. The Federation harvests something of great value there, but only for one week a year. What is harvested, and why only for one week a year is unknown.

Vila set off an intruder detection system while playing with objects, and their lives are now endangered.

The team, however, are then captured by beings known as the Ultras, or the minions of the planet’s living brain. They learn the planet is a living computer library which is designed to gather all the information it can in the known Universe.
However, the planet’s organic brain must also feed on the organic subjects it finds in order to grow. The team must find a way to escape the planet before having their memories sucked out and being consumed by the planet’s brain for food. Fortunately, Vila and Orac find the answer to their rescue, in their odd repartee of nonsensical riddles, which Orac reflects back on to the planet’s brain. This confused thinking causes the planet’s brain to implode, saving the crew. | | Guest Stars: Ian Barritt as Ultra #3, Ronald Govey as Relf, Stephen Jenn as Ultra #2, Peter Richards as Ultra #1 | Director: Vere Lorrimer

Servalan travels to a planet where she hopes to find the remnants of her fleet, which has been scattered after the war with the Aliens. There she only finds a rag tag group of soldiers and criminals, lead by the highest ranking officer left from the Flagship; a Section Leader who had served below two pilot captains and the Brigade Commander. Grose, as he is called, tells Servalan the only thing left of her 5th Legion Fleet is a troop transport.
However, Grose says he has found something of great value. A device that can replicate anything – anything that is, except for living things. When Servalan smells duplicity, Grose tells her he has summoned her to the planet in order to capture and make duplicates of her Flag Ship, and to extract the knowledge of the crew. In doing so, he will be able to take over the Federation with his new fleet, due to the Federation’s current weakened strength.
However, the duplicating device actually encases a living being called Moloch, and Moloch has been the real manipulator of events from the very beginning. Now Moloch’s goal is close at hand.

| 38 :03x12 - Death-Watch (Mar/24/1980) |
|
The Liberator learns that a war has broken out between the United Planets of Teal and the Vandor Confederation. They quickly head to the combat ground, as the Teal - Vendor wars are known as safe havens for all non-combatants, being protected by both warring parties. The crew looks forward to some much needed rest and entertainment.
It seems the Teal - Vendor wars are fought by single combat by one individual from each side; their First Champions. Each side has an arbiter that the rules of the convention are followed, with a third party acting as a neutral arbiter. In this case the crew is shocked to learn Servalan has been named the neutral arbiter.
The crew is also shocked to find that it is Tarrant’s twin brother Deeta that is the First Champion of Teal. Tarrant is unable to talk to his brother before the contest, and unfortunately, he is killed by Vandor’s impossibly fast Champion. Avon, already suspecting subterfuge by Servalan, must learn the secret of the Vandor’s First Champion, as he knows that if anything was done against the convention, and real war broke out, Servalan would be in position to take over both systems.
The answer they find about the Vandor Champion’s secret puts Tarrant in the same “path of the bullet” as his brother. However, can Tarrant survive the “blood feud challenge” he has made against Vandor’s First Champion and at the same time save the systems’ convention too? | | Guest Stars: Jacqueline Pearce as President Servalan, Mark Elliott as Vinni, Katherine Iddon as Karla, David Sibley as Commentator, Stewart Bevan as Max, | Uncredited: Steven Pacey as Deeta Tarrant | Director: Gerald Blake

However, the path to Blake’s location requires taking Liberator through an unknown minute energy charged particle matter area of space. The planet they wind up at, Terminal, turns out to be just another trap set up by Servalan to capture the Liberator and Orac.
As Servalan relishes her success in capturing the Liberator, and stranding the crew on a savage primitive world, she is unaware that the Liberator has been damaged beyond its repair capabilities by the attached charged particles from the area of space it had passed through earlier. | | Guest Stars: Gareth Thomas as Roj Blake, Jacqueline Pearce as President Servalan, Gillian McCutcheon as Kostos, Richard Clifford as Toron, Heather Wright as Reeval, David Healy (1) as Sphere Voice, Deep Roy as Link | Director: Mary Ridge
