WARNING: If you don't want to know what happens in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Commander Shaddick, Chief Inspector of the Galactic Authority Serious Crimes Division, seems to really have it in for the crew of the Raza. She questions each of them about their involvement in the delivery of the 'white hole technology' to a Mikkei Combine lab that led to the complete destruction of Iriden 3 … and the deaths of 15,000 people (as seen at the end of Season 1). Shaddick knows the Raza was there when it happened … but she needs proof.
202134
And she's willing to cut a deal for that proof (as she can't seem to get it from The Android, who refuses to dump her files): full immunity in exchange for testimony that puts the Raza at the scene of the crime. So far, no one's biting ... not even Three, who's usually never one to turn down an opportunity to save his own hide.
202135
Meanwhile, Two, Three and Four are still enjoying the dubious luxuries of being amongst the general population of Hyperion-8, though at least it looks like they've found a true ally in the form of Nyx. Can't Durand let them eat and scheme in peace?
202136
Unfortunately, Nyx isn't there to help them when they're suddenly put on waste disposal duty (fun!), a detail that takes a sinister turn when Bruno, the thuggish foreman, locks them in the incinerator under orders from Warden Treihan, who's been told by the Traugott Corporation to get rid of the Raza gang as quickly as possible (remember, the Raza gang stole the white hole technology from Traugott and delivered it to Mikkei, their corporate rival).
202137
Luckily, it's Arax to the rescue, who puts the Raza gang under his personal protection … in exchange for being in on any escape attempt they might be planning. Hey, the more the merrier, right?
202138
Busting out of Hyperion-8 is easier said than done, though luckily Three gets an assist from an unlikely source and surprise visitor: Commander Delaney Truffault of the Mikkei Combine. Via some sort of optical device (that glows green!), she transfers the entire layout of the prison to Three ...
202139
... which he then illustrates with lipstick underneath the mattress in his cell. The gang now knows what's where and what's what, including restricted areas. Neat!
202140
They still need a ship, though, 'cause the shuttles that make the scheduled supply runs have been canceled until further notice upon the Warden suspecting some sort of prison break. Wouldn't you know it, there's an Ishida cruiser en route to pick up Four and transport him to his home planet for execution (remember, everyone still thinks he killed the Emperor). The escort? Misaki Han, the new Commander of the Royal Guard. She looks like a handful.
202141
Let's get this party, er, prison break started! First, Five tells Shaddick that she'll order The Android to download the files incriminating the Raza crew in the Iriden 3 incident (as The Android has to comply with any direct order given by a crew member of the Raza). That's just to get her in the room with The Android, though — the order that Five really gives is "Kill them all," which The Android obliges as she slaughters the entire Galactic Authority unit ...
202142
… including Commander Shaddick. Good night, Lola!
(That's a Run Lola Run reference. Franka Potente, who plays Commander Shaddick, played Lola. She's awesome.)
202143
Back in general population, Two and Three start a riot, which prompts the Warden to initiate security protocol: the sonic whistle that renders everyone but the guards unconscious. Thanks to her advanced healing powers, Two recovers quickly and attacks Durand, taking his weapon and keys to the control room.
202144
Two changes the frequency of the sonic whistle, bypassing the protective earpieces and making the guards collapse in pain. How's about a taste of your own medicine, fellas?
202145
Accompanied by The Android, Five traverses the prison corridors, lugging a really big energy gun (affectionately nicknamed 'Bubba') that comes in handy when a few guards manage to regain consciousness.
202242
Five even uses her new weapon to cut short the rather impressive sword fight between Four and Misaki, blowing Four's nemesis across the room. Who needs a sword when you've got Bubba?
202147
Finally, Two, Three, Four, Five, The Android, Nyx, Arax and Devon (the nice prisoner who works in the infirmary) meet up with Six, who's been reinstated as a crew member of the Raza upon his complete disillusionment with the Galactic Authority.
202148
Their boarding of the Ishida shuttle is interrupted by Six's Galactic Authority colleague Anders, who manages to get a shot in as Six seemingly shoots him to death. Three somewhat reluctantly helps Two get the wounded Six onto the shuttle and they blast off toward the Raza, which has been docked in orbit above Hyperion-8.
202149
On board the Raza, Devon informs the crew that Six is in bad shape and won't last 24 hours. They put him in cryogenic stasis in the hopes that freezing him will at least keep his wound from getting any worse.
202150
The crew watches a newscast that confirms the death of Derrick Moss, aka One, who was shot down by Jace Corso at the end of last week's epiosde. Two is rather heartbroken … and Three is surprisingly sympathetic, putting a hand on her shoulder.
202151
The episode ends with Alicia Reynaud, a fast-talking, tough-as-nails businesswoman, being told by her assistant, Mars Hughes, that the Raza gang has escaped from Hyperion-8. "Now let's go get them," she says, taking a particular interest in Five, whom she calls 'Pumpkin.' Uh-oh ...
