Last episode, Two has seen Vorta and she is freed from her coffin while Talon, Luna, and Zed watch from their hiding place. Vorta warns the Zed uses his Zinj to get the Locuri to fight each other while Talon and Luna escape. Zed is taken away by a Lu-Qiri. Luna and Talon see Vorta use her White Zinj to cause the cave to collapse. Janzo mentions that Wren is forced by Falista to find out about the skelikor. Janzo shows Wren some blank pages in a book, but Wren sees that they are not blank. She can see the writings and drawings. Janzo realizes from her writing that only a high priestess can read the pages. They come directly from a god. Tobin talks with Garrett on the battlement. He is worried about the Zinj corrupting Falista. Garret advises Tobin that she has to give up her Zinj willingly.

In the collapse of the cave, Talon revives, and Luna is trapped by stones which Talon moves to free her legs. Tobin, in bed with Falista, wants to run away from the Outpost. He says she is changed by the Zinj and asks her to give it up to someone else. Falista refuses still believing in “the gods” and says she will be forced to lock her husband up! We don't actually know why Falista is absolute in her belief even at the cost of Tobin. Talon crawls back to the empty coffin with Luna. She sees the symbols in the coffin. Luna pries a gem from the coffin. Talon goes after Zed without her. Night, Janzo and Wren work on the pages. The symbols are familiar to her. Wren wants to inform Falista and Janzo is worried about what is below the Outpost. Munt readies Tobin’s dress clothes and he brings up advice from The Mistress. Tobin realizes that he needs to go along with Falista to regain her trust.
Munt asks for love advice from Tobin. The king suggests a dinner. Janzo turns the wheel to access the Outpost underground. He has the drawings of the various symbols. Morning, Garret walks with Tobin, the king notes all of the deeds he has done to help. Janzo works out what symbols they are looking for, Wren has a key for the hourglass. Janzo opens a door that blasts him back and breaks his nose. Then, the stone coffin rolls back! They enter a strange dark room with a coffin in the center. Janzo loses his torch into the abyss. He later blows away dust from a stone imprint. The hand imprints to activate a device makes me think of the first Total Recall (1990). They realize that there are imprints for the seven gods. Next, they are looking for a key. Munt is dressed up at the tavern and wants the chef (Milos Cvetkovic) to do good for his date. Warlita enters and they have dinner by the fireplace. Munt is a little nervous. He babbles and Warlita is amused.

The chef enters with a dish that looks like pine cones. Munt bites into it and his mouth starts bleeding. Warlita leaves. Two, Vorta, and a Lu-Qiri walk towards a seaside cliff with Talon following them. Zed is awake and sees another of the god’s coffin, Tera (Milos Vojnovic), Two takes the life from the Lu-Qiri to give to the “god.” What is the connection with the Lu-Qiri and these demonic creatures? Zed seems to also be connected. The massive demon, Tera, appears with a heavy, black staff. Taren lifts up Two to kill her, Two’s Zinj flies away. Vorta sees Tera and says they want to find their sister. They are about to attack Zed, but Talon strikes both of them and escapes with Zed. Vorta uses her White Zinj to throw a large log at Zed. Tera is struck by arrows from Luna! She also has an arrow for Vorta. To quote Schwarzenegger, "If it bleeds, we can kill it." A women warrior heads down to the underground and overhears Wren and Janzo. Morning, Munt tells Tobin about the dates failure.
In the cave, Janzo wants to unlock the selikor, but needs a key. Falista enters stunned at the chamber and recognizes the symbol. The trio runs in the misty forest. Zed thinks they might be gods, but Talon says they bleed black blood, related to the Blackbloods? Night, Munt drinks by himself. Warlita stops by and Munt confesses that the king told him that he is a beast. She tells him to have a simple meal. At the gate, Talon wants Luna to stay outside of the Outpost. Falista tries to contact the gods, Vorta says all of the Zinj owners should go to the capital! Falista and Tobin meet with Talon and Zed who says they want to kill the possessors of the Zinj. Talon says she saw Vorta kill Two. Falista walks away with Tobin who is silent. She starts to pack to travel to the Capital. Janzo works out that the “gods” have pointy ears and their black blood came from the Plane of Ashes. All things are leading back to the Capital! Talon's character had the conflict of the refugees from the Plane of Ashes, she usually has strong development even with the growing cast, but mostly other characters are taking the spotlight. The Outpost’s latest episode has a mystery that may be some solution to Vorta and Tera with Falista falling in their influence!
Four Daggers out of Five!
