Episode Summary

As Avon becomes focused on a strange small rock on a planet, Federation ships attack them. As Avon and Vila beam back on board, Avon seem to still be focus on the rock, leaving Liberator’s escape in Tarrant’s hands. After Tarrant is able to narrowly escape from the overwhelming odds pose by the Federation’s attack, a cocky Federation Officer, Jarvik, challenges Servalan by telling her he can capture Liberator with only three scout ships.

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. When it appears Jarvik’s boast might come true, Avon uses what he has learned about the strange rock, to try to turn the tables on Jarvik’s plan. The question is which Servalan will believe, Jarvik or her instruments.

Episode Quotes
 
Avon: Orac, this rock, this Sophron, does it have a greater capacity for reasoning than you do?
Orac: The difference is barely measurable!
 
Servalan: (to Jarvik; referring to the kiss) There is the question of that degrading and primitive act to which I was subjected in the control room. I should like you to do it again.
 
Pilot: Do I have your permission to abandon the excess cargo or shall I have it destroyed?
Servalan: Neither. You will abandon the surplus labourers.
 
Avon: I understand that this ship is the most powerful in the galaxy and that you are the most astute space warfare commander.
(Tarrant leaves)
Avon: Or so you tell us often enough.
 
Vila: I may settle down, you know, have kids - what do you think of that, Cally?
Cally: What do I think of what?
Vila: The lake side at Gardanos! We could go swimming by the light of three moons!
Dayna: You and Cally?
Vila: No, me and the kids!
Dayna: But you haven't got any children!
Vila: (looking at Cally) Not yet.
Tarrant: Vila, you're dreaming. Three weeks of that and you'd be looking for some place to break into.
 
Vila: (to the hiding guards) Excuse me.
 
Servalan: Tell me, Zen, how does one operate this craft?
Zen: One manipulates the controls and the craft functions accordingly.
Servalan: Yes, I've heard of your impudence.
 
Servalan: Unless, of course, you want to accept my word.
Tarrant: I'd rather accept the business end of a poisonous snake.
 
Avon: This rock happens to be the most sophisticated life form that it has ever been my good fortune to come across. Present company not excepted.
Tarrant: Life? But it looks like -
Avon: A rock, yes. Well, when you live on the permanent dark side of a planet, nobody cares too much what you look like.
