In this week's episode, notice the snarling female cyborg and the really muscular guy in the tanktop among Tyr's crew. They started out with very different make-up and costumes. However, after seeing them on screen, they were affectionately dubbed Dominatrix Kitty (a feline in black leather) and Elvis the Pig (the name says it all). The production company mandated that all their scenes in this episode be re-shot with new make-up.

The scene of the two with their faces pressed up against the glass in the escape pod was much funnier before. People called it "the pig and the cat in the dryer" scene.

Continued from Under the Night…

Tyr goes through the Andromeda, taking out the service robots by various means. Beka and Rev disable Andromeda's sensors. Trance suggests that perhaps they can get Dylan to surrender, but Gerentex encourages Tyr to kill him. Tyr makes his way to the Command Deck, where he confronts Dylan, but Dylan escapes through a conduit.

Dylan re-arms as Gerentex's people attempt to seize control of the Andromeda. He confronts a female cyborg mercenary, accompanied by Trance. He overpowers the cyborg, and Trance runs away.

Beka goes to a store of ammunition to re-load, but finds Dylan planting explosive charges. Dylan alerts her before ducking out, allowing her to get to safety in time.

Beka, Rev, Harper, and Trance discuss leaving, since they had only expected a salvage job, not a fight. Gerentex overhears them, and shoots and kills Trance. Beka, Rev, and Harper are forced to continue at gunpoint. Dylan has been watching this on the monitors, and decides to "end this".

Beka, Rev, and Harper discuss how little they actually knew Trance, since she was a recent addition to the crew. They also discuss what their next actions should be. Harper wants revenge. Beka is practical – she realizes that they cannot go against trained mercenaries. Rev is a pacifist.

Dylan confronts Tyr and another mercenary in hydroponics. He overpowers the mercenary, and escapes, taking the mercenary with him. He retreats to the medical deck, where he has also taken Trance's body.

Harper "jacks in" to Andromeda's Virtual Reality matrix. Andromeda confronts him (in VR), and kicks him out. It is at this point that he realizes that the ship is sentient.

Tyr and his mercenaries move to disable Andromeda's computer with explosives. Dylan takes out one more mercenary.

Andromeda attempts to take control of the Maru via the communications system. Gerentex orders Harper to launch the Maru to prevent this, even though Tyr, Beka, and Rev are still on the Andromeda. After Harper launches, Gerentex takes the pilot's seat and gives the Andromeda a "push" towards the black hole.

As those on board the Andromeda realize what is happening, they consider their options. Tyr suggests putting themselves in cryogenic storage, where he finds two of the mercenaries that Dylan has overpowered. They revive them, and the mercenaries choose to take an escape pod and leave. The escape pod is immediately sucked into the black hole.

Andromeda tells Dylan that she has a surprise for him.

Dylan confronts Tyr, Beka, and Rev. He suggests working together for their mutual survival. He then reveals the surprise: Trance is alive. Trance says that Dylan and Andromeda saved her.

Dylan has a plan: to use the Andromeda's 40 nova bombs to reverse the gravity of the black hole, and push the Andromeda clear. As they begin to fire the nova bombs, Gerentex (on the Maru) realizes what they are doing, and leaves – but Harper manages to leave a trail for Beka to follow.

Beka asks Dylan for his help to recover her ship. Dylan agrees, in exchange for an unspecified favour.

On the Maru, Harper presents Gerentex with a bill for his services. While they are arguing, Dylan, Tyr, Beka, Rev, and Trance board the Maru. Tyr, Harper, and Rev overpower Gerentex's remaining cronies, but Gerentex pulls a gun on Dylan – only to find that Harper has already removed an essential component from it. Dylan takes Gerentex down, puts him in a life pod (with enough supplies and fuel to get to safety), and sets him adrift.

Dylan now names his condition: ten minutes of everyone's time, on the Obs Deck, in one hour. While waiting, Andromeda treats Harper's Triangulum Measles, and tells him that she did not do anything to revive Trance.

On the Obs Deck, Dylan invites the others to join him in his quest to restore the Commonwealth. Trance says that she'll follow Beka, but likes the idea. Harper is enticed by the creature comforts of living on the Andromeda. Beka agrees. Dylan looks for an answer from Tyr, saying that if he is going to restore the Commonwealth, it has to be for everyone, including the Nietzscheans. Tyr agrees to give it a chance.
