The order listed is the order that it was shown on the SPACE network in Canada, Sunday Nights.
Aboard a freighter, Lili gives birth to a half-Jaridian child who may be the
last hope for the race. Aided by the captured Taelon Da'an, who apparently
gives his life while supplying Lili with energy, everything goes well until the
baby develops a potentially fatal illness that plagues Jaridians. When Liam
suggests they take her to the hospital, Vorjak, the child's father, refuses,
fearful that the Taelons would have her killed. As a result, he escapes with
Lili and the baby through a portal. Augur is sought by a Volunteer
Investigation Unit. Lili must find a way to lower her baby's temperature. Augur
introduces J Street. The Taelons then order Sandoval to locate and kill Vorjak
or be killed himself.
A pro-Taelon senator is shot by his daughter, Eva. Eva is found to have
traces of Kryss, an outlawed substance the Companions used to adapt to
Earth, in her body. Renee goes up to the space station and finds Da'an
getting Kryss from Federov. Liam finds that Da'an is addicted to Kryss.
Shares episode title name with a Star Trek The Next Generation episode.
After a break-in at Renee's apartment, Renee hooks up with an old Harvard
College roommate, Claire. Claire works with Dr Fuchs, a Nobel Laureate
winner whose company, DonorMed - a biomedical facility, is involved in
genetic engineering. When a break-in at Renee's apartment is linked to
Claire, Liam and Renee suspect Fuchs of unethical actions involved in
meddling with human DNA. Renee and Liam investigate the link between
Zu'or and DonorMed's clandestine cloning operation.
When a canister of Taelon core energy is stolen under Sandoval's and Joshua
Doors' eyes, Zu'or warns Sandoval that if it is not recovered, many humans
will die. Meanwhile, deceased Doors International President Jonathan Doors
resurfaces in cyber form and attempts to blackmail the Taelons into leaving
the solar system. Zu'or, saving energy aboard the Mothership, orchestrates
the murder of a T'than. Liam reveals the Taelon's darkest secret - that they
are running out of core energy and dying.
An FBI black ops unit has Augur in it's sights. An amoralist's plan to steal
$3 trillion in gold from Zu'or's reserves puts Augur's life in jeopardy.
Declan Conners has blackmailed Augur into helping him. While Sandoval works
to short-circuit the plan, Liam and Renee attempt to save Augur.
Despite doubts about Taelon sincerity, Liam urges Resistance fighter
Hayley Simmons and her team to accept an offer of amnesty. The Alliance
announces that it's negotiated amnesty for all resistance fighters, with Zu'or
himself guaranteeing the rebels' safety on the specified 'Day of Sanctuary.'
But on the day in question, the Resistance find themselves under attack by
kamikaze soldiers. The Resistance brands Liam a traitor. Liam and Renee
discover the source of the soldiers' rage: a deadly parasite that makes its
victims impervious to fear in the hour before it kills them. Sandoval learns
that FBI and CIA have been merged to form "Pan Global Security" and his new
boss there is Director Kalen.
Chaos erupts when the Companions decide to abandon Earth in the face of an
imminent invasion from an incoming Jaridian war fleet. Taelons empty all
embassies and return to the Mothership with all their technology, leaving Earth
at the mercy of the invaders. Da'an informs Liam that, years earlier, the
Jaridians warned Earth not to cooperate with the Taelons or face the
consequences. Meanwhile, long-missing Resistance fighters surface on the
Mothership, and Liam works to bring them home.
Renee's younger brother Richard is the unwitting subject of a masterful Zu'or
attempt to capture and harness human emotions (joie de vivre), which Zu'or
believes developing humanlike emotions will help the Taelons in their bid to
survive. Renee's brother Richard is reunited with her but all is not right
forcing Renee to re-think her position with the Taelons. But as Richard's
emotions are stolen from him, the consequences could prove deadly for
Sandoval.
Onboard the Mothership, Renee critically injured, is taken hostage by a denizen
of the Mothership, a phantomlike man named Malley, who has taken it upon
himself to "protect" the ship. While Liam searches for the disappeared Renee,
the phantom makes a bold move, demanding that Zu'or resign or else.
Ken Matthews, an old flame of Renee and business competitor resurfaces. Both
are interested in new memory technology which enables one to create selected
dreams in real-time. Evidence points to someone going beyond this in
infiltrating people's dreams with dire consequences. Liam's investigation into
a string of murders links them to a serial killer who invades people's dreams
and then frames them for his murderous crimes. The investigation takes a
bizarre turn when the killer invades both Renee's and Sandoval's slumber.
A retired companion protector in charge of security for the 'new life'
infertility clinic mysteriously dies just before his wife gives birth,
leading to questions of a cover-up and CVI failure. Liam and Renee suspect
Taelon wrong doing when a human baby is born with a CVI implant. As the
investigation deepens, Renee receives some devastating news that appears to be
linked to Taelon technology.
Da'an summons Liam and solemnly declares that they will never meet again as he
is about to take his 'final journey'. Da'an then escapes. Zu'or demands Liam
find Da'an and forces him to be implanted with a surveillance CVI that allows
Sandoval to see and hear everything that he does. Street and Renee must find a
way to help Liam as they discover more about Da'an's journey.
The future of the Taelons looks bleak after a mysterious piece of dark matter
collides with the Mothership. All the Taelons, including Zu'or, freeze in time
aboard the Mothership. Sandoval sees the accident as a chance to gain revenge
for all the Taelons have done to him, but Liam and Renee move to use the moment
to resurrect Da'an as the leader.
Zu'or and Liam try to hone Liam's telepathic skills in order to decipher an
ancient manuscript encrypted by Ma'el and encased within a Taelon relic.
Unfortunately, Liam is having trouble focusing on the problem. Zu'or discovers
that the relic holds the key to Taelon core energy. Italian art dealer Vera
Rizzori, meets with Liam and Renee and shows them a picture of the artifact she
was attempting to buy. Liam instantly recognizes it as Ma'el's relic and asks
who hired her to acquire it. Liam and Renee arrive at Happy Time Holograms, the
address of Vera's client. An elevator inside turns into a portal to the
mysterious man's private office. Drawing their weapons, they enter the office
and are met by Augur. Augur reveals that with the aid of Sandoval's retinal
map, he's learned that the Taelons were more evolved 2,000 years ago than they
are now. Augur believes that if the humans can access the manuscript before the
Taelons, they will hold the "keys to the kingdom," perhaps even regaining
control of Earth from the Taelons. Augur is determined to decode the
manuscript. Sandoval finds out about the relic's secret and wants it for
himself. Zu'or summons Liam for another attempt at accessing the manuscript.
Suddenly, Zu'or smashes the relic, declaring it to be a forgery. He proclaims
that theft of the relic is an act of war, and tells Liam and Sandoval that they
have 12 hours to find the genuine relic or he will destroy a major city every
hour thereafter until the human population is wiped out.
Street is closing in on solving Ma'el's riddle and consequently is being hunted
by Sandoval as Zu'or is desperate to have her mind. Street discovers she has a
Taelon device in her arm that enables Sandoval to see and hear her every move
and conversation. To get rid of it, she turns to Liam for help, and he takes
her to see Da'an - who seemingly has turned traitor. But things are not what
they appear as Street is not sure who she can trust as she flees for her life
learning an important lesson about trust.
Three human astronauts locked in Taelon stasis bubbles are found in an old
abandoned top-secret government base, where they have remained for 30 years.
Their life forces have been sustained and it is determined that they have
traveled forward in time and then come back to earth long before they were
born. They hold the secrets for the future of earth and the human/Taelon
relationship.
Sandoval asks Renee to inform the Atlantic National Alliance that in exchange
for full immunity, he will testify against the Taelons. While suspicious of
Sandoval's sudden desire to combat the Taelons, Renee and Liam present his
proposal to Hubble Urick. Before leaving for the grand jury in Montreal,
Sandoval accesses the command log of the Taelon Mothership, a log packed with
incriminating evidence against the Taelons. Zu'or sends a security team to
apprehend him, but Sandoval escapes via a portal. Renee and Liam decide to
transport Sandoval to Montreal via Retro Rail, a nostalgic train tour. Renee
outfits Sandoval with a prototype exoskeleton developed by Doors International
that contains a Jaridian cloaking device which transforms Sandoval into another
person. The disguise keeps Sandoval safe until the train arrives in Montreal
when the device's battery pack wears down, Tate suddenly appears and guns
down Sandoval and escapes with his body through a portal. Later Liam and Renee
are stunned to find Sandoval alive. Learning that Sandoval orchestrated his own
"assassination" in order to stay alive, he has now increased his demand for
immunity to include relocation and 50 million in gold. The grand jury refuses
to accept his new terms and puts him on trial for crimes against humanity.
Sandoval insists he was only obeying orders. Communicating through a energy
data stream, Zu'or demands that Sandoval be returned to the Mothership
immediately, or he will begin firing at Earth.
Liam and Renee suspect Zu’or of orchestrating a series of murders when they
connect the victims to the now-defunct Blood Ties project, which used Taelon
core energy to cure human illnesses.
Renee is torn between love and duty when her boyfriend Jeff Marlowe, who is in
"deep cover" as a Volunteer aboard the Taelon mothership, is captured while
infiltrating the weapons pod, which is off limits to humans. When they learn of
his fate, Renee and Liam mount a rescue mission.
The Taelons' decision to enter death stasis causes a rift between Zu'or and
Da'an, who refuses to share the core energy he has accumulated. Meanwhile,
Liam learns that he only has days to live.
After a Jaridian energy beam turns several Taelon companion protectors into
assassins, Zu'or demands that they be turned over to him in 24 hours - or he
will open fire on Earth. Da'an, meanwhile, dispatches Liam to take the
assailants alive; and Sandoval becomes a pawn of the Jaridians.
The Taelons' fate - and possibly Liam's - is decided after Liam and Renee find
Ma'el's regeneration chamber. The discovery of the secret location causes the
surviving Taelons and Jaridians to seek the mechanism, which promises to restore
their draining energy. Street, meanwhile, solves the riddle of the eighth
dimension and may be onto the ninth.
