Episode Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad
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?

Avon: Just with the rest of you being wrong.
 
Avon: Suddenly I'm hip-deep in heroes.
 
Vila: (referring to Tarrant) I saved his life once. Am I supposed to make a career out of it?
 
Avon: We stand a better chance as a group.
Tarrant: What, while something's eating me, you can get away?
 
Dorian: In case you hadn't noticed, I just saved your friends' lives.
Avon: You know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished.
 
Dorian: Uh, one problem. It happens to be my ship.
Avon: No problem.
 
Dayna: Cheer up, Vila! We've got a lot of very bright associates!
Vila: Oh yeah? Name six.
 
Dorian: Avon, you of all people should know that intellect is a much more powerful weapon than the gun - particularly when the gun...doesn't...work.
