Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
Avon covertly and without the crew’s knowledge redirects the Liberator to a location Avon believes Blake is secluded at. 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.

Episode Notes
 
The Liberator is destroyed in this episode from the unknown energy matter particles it encountered.
 
Servalan states that Blake is dead; that he died from his wounds on the planet Jevron, and she attended his cremation there.
 
This episode marks the final regular appearance of Jan Chappell (Cally). However, she reprised her role in the form of a brief, uncredited voiceover in "Rescue", the first episode of Series Four. With the exception of Paul Darrow (Avon), Michael Keating (Vila) and Peter Tuddenham (Zen / Orac / Slave), who all remained with Blake's 7 for its entire run, she was the series' longest running regular cast member. Consequently, she appeared in more episodes (37 in total) than any other actress, although Jacqueline Pearce's appearances as Servalan occurred over a longer period.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Avon: Try trusting me.
Vila: Alright, Avon, we'll try trusting you. Just don't expect us to make a habit of it.
Avon: I don't.
 
Tarrant: Where are we going, Avon?
Avon: Profound philosophical questions never really interested me.
Tarrant: That's not up to your usual standard.
Avon: Yes. Well, I'm tired.
 
Vila: Avon certainly knows how to keep a secret. He probably won't even talk to himself.
 
Avon: Sentiment breed weakness. Let it get hold of you and you are dead.
 
Avon: If this is an example of a man-made planet, we ought to go back to the drawing board and start again.
 
Blake: Well, you certainly took your time finding me.
Avon: There didn't seem to be any hurry. Anyway, I always said I could manage very well without you.
Blake: It must have been so dull, having no one to argue with.
Avon: There were times when your simple-minded uncertainties might have been refreshing.
Blake: Careful, Avon. Your sentiment is showing.
 
Servalan: (referring to Blake) You may see him and talk to him.
Avon: I already have.
Servalan: What?!
 
Vila: (referring to Orac) It's just a pile of junk really, but it means a lot to me. I built it. It's a sculpture. You're not going to make me leave it, are you? Incidentally, you should always be careful about getting a second-hand spacecraft. They can be very unreliable.
 
Avon: One last thing, I don’t need any of you. I needed the Liberator to bring me here, so I had no choice but to bring you along; but this is as far as you go. I don’t want you with me; I don’t want you following me. Understand this, anyone who does follow me, I’ll kill them.
