The Liberator crew attempt to stop the destruction of one of their warlord allies, Boorva of Tarl, and hence the whole anti-Federation Alliance. With tensions among the crew at their highest level yet and a generous offer from Boorva to consider, not to mention another attack by Kreel this could be the end of the fight against the Federation.

I'd like to welcome another new writer to the Sequel Project

This episode fit well with what I had in mind but couldn't quite work out how to do. It's given me a few ideas and the second episode of series 7 will now be slightly different to what I intended before I read this.

Overall a good character driven episode that manages to bring in all the crew and even allows a cameo appearance by Avon. The relationship between Blake and the others reaches breaking point with even Soolin considering abandoning him, only for circumstances to bring them back together. The emotional appeal by Avon means that Blake can now count more on the crew, a situation that will continue until the end of series 6.
