WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Six is on a diplomatic mission this week, trying to unite a number of independent worlds with trade agreements and all that jazz. It's … not going well.
330242
And they only get worse when the meeting is attacked by Ferrous Corp, forcing Six to bring the delegates to the Raza. The Raza meanwhile manages to fight off the ships and jump to FTL in time. THE END!
330243
Okay, no, not the end. There's lots more drama to come. First, more arguing! Someone betrayed them and gave up their location. Fingers are pointed all over the place.
330244
Six and one of the delegates, Quill, have a bit of a heart-to-heart. Six is feeling dejected because, as it turns out, being a diplomat is hard.
330245
Of course, a little bickering is the least of the Raza's problems. There's something up with the Android. She's acting very strange.
330246
More trouble. Wren is in his quarters and he's, like, super dead. Like, knife to the spine dead. They put the other delegates under lockdown while they try to figure out who did it.
330247
Problem is, there's nothing on the security cameras, so Two wants to get the rest of the delegates off the ship soon as possible.
330248
Android is still acting weird, and Five is starting to take notice. Not soon enough, though, because now the ship is malfunctioning. Comms are down, doors aren't working, lights are flicking ominously.
330249
Five jumps on her computer to see what the problem is and ends up talking to Sarah who warns her "HE'S COMING". He … who?
330250
He … Ryo, apparently. Android is down in the cargo hold, escorting a whole contingent of Ishida soldiers out of the Transfer Transit pods, including Ryo.
330251
Ryo is here for the Blink Drive, naturally; Android has been hacked, though we don't know by whom; Two and Three know this is intentional; while Six arms the delegates who definitely probably just murdered a dude. Oh, and the Blink Drive is missing.
330252
It's with Five, because she is the best. She's hiding in the bowels of the ship just giving herself the space to jack into Sarah's part of the ship's computer. You know, like you do.
330253
Two and Three get separated and just when Two figures out what's going on, she's promptly attacked by Ryo and an epic bout of fisticuffs ensues.
330254
We interrupt this fight to discover that Android has been hacked by a gnarly looking dude in the scary VR chair that Ryo was talking to a couple episodes ago. Guess it's taken a while to hack the Android from across the galaxy using only your mind.
330255
As with any fight between friends, the fists fly but so do the harsh truths. Like the fact that Ryo doesn't have any remorse for blowing up EOS7 or the fact that he didn't actually kill Nyx.
330257
Sarah, meanwhile has gotten really familiar with the computer systems on the ship. Like Android familiar. She knows exactly what the Android did to protect certain systems before getting hacked and has an interface to the Android's neural matrix.
330258
Ryo makes a few pitches to get what he wants. First, he offers to trade the Blink Drive for the Raza. Five isn't having any of that, so he moves on to the delegates.
330259
Ryo offers them a sweet deal. Ally themselves with Zairon and gain instant admittance to the League of Autonomous Worlds. This deal is good for Zairon and not so good for the colonies, but they don’t see it that way. Instant gratification and all that.
330260
Android discovers where Five is hiding and heads down to threaten/capture her. But Five won't be taken so easily. A quick code word reboots Android and gives Five just enough time to give her some instructions and escape.
330261
Those instructions allow Five and Sarah to trap Korvik in a scary mind void without his crazy chair. It's kinda harsh, but he DID mind jack the Android and try to steal the ship so …
330262
With the systems restored the Raza crew seizes the opportunity to dispatch the rest of the Ishida soldiers. They do allow Ryo to head back with his memories intact though after he and Two basically vow to kill each other.
330263
A few last minute revelations as the delegates leave the ship. Android didn't kill Wren, so we still don't know who the murderer is. Meanwhile, Six gives up helping the independent colonies, and 12 of those colonies decide to take Ryo's deal. The war is only getting worse.
330264
As one final hiccup, Five and Android think they've fixed the Blink Drive, but their tests cause a pulse that knocks out everyone - and maybe every system - on the ship.
