WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Two is still pointing her gun at Ryo, and he's ready to die. He basically tells her to do it and she's ready to. Or is she? We don't get to find out though because a call from Teku interrupts.
336590
Teku apparently has a whole fleet of ships loyal to Ryo that managed to make it out of the coup without dying and he's demanding the return of his emperor. The Raza isn't so interested in giving him back.
336591
Of course, Teku isn't one to come to a negotiation empty handed. He offers them Boone's location, which could also lead them to Portia. They agree not to kill Ryo long enough to check out the location.
336592
Five continues to struggle with the news Ryo dumped on her back on Zairon. She confides in Six that her sister's adoptive mother is none other than Alicia Reynaud, the woman who had all her friends killed over the Blink Drive. Awkward.
336593
Two is also dealing with the fallout of Ryo's truth bombs. Android got into the lock box and found a storage device that's password protected. She did notice one file, though, labeled Croydon, the name of the friend Rebecca/Portia/Two left her daughter with.
336594
When they finally reach their destination they discover a Ferrous Corp shipyard identical to the one they thought they were going to find back in episode five, only this one is full of ships. This is bad news for the galaxy.
336595
One ship against lots and lots and lots of ships is no fair fight, so the Raza Crew brings in some backup. Mikkei and Truffaut provide a white hole bomb which they want the Raza to detonate next to the facility, taking Ferrous out of the war for good.
336596
Nothing ever goes as planned though, and Two, Three and Six get trapped behind enemy lines with a faulty bomb. They were betrayed by Traugott and have been captured by Ferrous. Truffaut bails. It's hard to find good friends in a corporate war.
336597
Two is separated from the others and left with a shifty Ferrous scientist who wants to know how the Blink Drive works and says things like, "you can offer more than you know." That's not creepy.
336598
Three and Six, meanwhile, are reunited with their old friend Wexler who, in addition to still being a weasel is also a double agent for Mikkei. Go figure.
336599
Six finds and frees Two but she's acting a little off. Who knows what that creepy tech person did to her, but she snaps out of it. Meanwhile, Three and Wexler bring down the field keeping them in and all hell breaks loose.
336600
Two, Six, and Wexler manage to make it off the shipyard with the Blink Drive, but Three is left behind. He's been stun gunned and is missing. Oh, and shady tech lady. Yeah, she's an alien.
336601
Two wants revenge. She wants to attack the shipyard and take down Ferrous once and for all, and with Mikkei only able to provide six ships, she turns to an unlikely ally: Ryo. She'll release him in exchange for help winning the war.
336602
Ryo agrees and Teku and the small fleet sign on to join forces with Mikkei and the Raza to attack the facility. Could this be the start of a tentative and mistrustful friendship?
336603
Perhaps a very mistrustful friendship as we discover what happened to Two on the station. She's also an alien host and this is turning into a bad day for the Raza.
336604
Battle time! The Raza drops out of FTL and is joined by Mikkei and the Ishida ships and they begin the assault on the station. Hard to tell who is winning a space battle but there are a lot of explosions.
336605
Scratch that, Ferrous is winning. With Three safely off the ship with Portia (again, go figure), Two decides to sacrifice the Blink Drive and the Marauder to destroy the entire station in one really, really big explosion.
336606
Two takes the opportunity to take out the Android which means someone needs to pilot the Marauder manually. Six volunteers, of course, because that's his thing and he and Five say a tearful goodbye.
336607
Android manages to get a message to Five, telling her that Two is an alien. Five tries to relay the message to Six, but it's too late. He can't hear her. So she gets the message to Ryo instead.
336608
Six detonates the Blink Drive, destroying himself, the Marauder and the station and tearing a hole in space time. This is a bad, bad idea because there's something on the other side of that rift. The alien invasion has begun. The black ships are here.
