Love, Honor, Obey

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Now only a week away from arriving at Venus, the crew are still puzzled by the hallucinations they’ve had. When Zoe hears the crying child, she and Donner follow it to Pod 4 but find they have no access. Donner challenges Ted to explain what is going on but are interrupted when they must all seek shelter due to an impending radiation burst from a solar flare. With the crisis averted, Goss orders Ted not to reveal Beta’s presence in Pod 4 but he must decide what is in the best interest of his crew. In a flashback to training, Ted tells Connor what Eve told them about their Mars mission. The recruits also undergo painful obedience training.

Our Take

A mostly solid hour that finally pushes the Pod 4 mystery forward without giving much away. The solar flare sequence adds real tension, and Ted’s dilemma between orders and his crew lands well, though the flashbacks drag and cover ground we’ve mostly figured out already. Worth watching for the ending alone, which promises bigger reveals coming.
