The Ark is in a desperate situation with Angus and Lane on Ark-15, but they are closer to a Klampkins cure and Proxima B! R:cap "Hoping for Forever; Angus Medford, Spencer Lane, and William Trust are taken hostage to Ark-15 led by Evelyn Maddox! Kelly, who has shot Helena Trust, introduces her mother, Maddox to Angus Medford! She in turn asks about Marko who had the DNA sample. Maddox orders the ship to Proxima B. In FTL, the council meets at the conference room, and Alicia Nevins admits that she like Angus! Lt. Sharon Garnet and Felix Strickland check on Cat Brandice confined to her quarters. She mentions the Juno Project and that “the man with the gun said something about DNA.” Garnet, Alicia, and Strickland check the DNA vault and realize that Marko was searching for a venomous spider. On Ark-15, Lane sees that Maddox has taken the masterpiece artwork from Earth as simple decorations, they “belong in a museum!” We see Proxima B, a orangish planet ringed by blue, the first ship to reach the planet is the Ark-15, but it is such a tense situation, its discovery is not important!
Trust says that Maddox wants to rule the new planet. Lane says they both have a god complex. He realizes that she wanted to destroy Ark-3 to eliminate GSA command. Evelyn says it is a eyeball planet that doesn’t rotate. She explains that Trust has found the way for planetary rotation. Evelyn sent down the devices, super electro magnets, and needs his commands to activate the rotation. Guards take Trust and Lane to confinement. Trust says once he activates them, Maddox will kill him. The Ark-1 continues on the way to Proxima B. Alicia walks in with Dr. Kabir and discovered that the spider venom can cure Klampkins! I love this concept because we think of helpful species or those that are cute like rabbits, but there are dangerous creatures that are all part of the circe of life (you knew that was coming right?). She says that two other elements; potassium aluminum sulfate (used for water purification?) in formaldehyde (added to vaccines) with the venom as a cure. She says it went extinct. Garnet thinks that an important member of the crew has Klampkins, Maddox. Kelly Fowler brings a lunch tray to Angus, she thinks all things will be friendly, even though she’s vicious. Angus says that Lane saved her life, but she says that she was a boarding party to look for the DNA. He realizes that her mother abandoned her on Ark-3.

Strickland enters the bridge and sees that orbiting Proxima B is Ark-15. Garnet says that they won’t attack since they have the DNA. She contacts the ship about the spider DNA. Garnet wants Angus and Lane back in exchange for the DNA or she will destroy it. Maddox replies and says that she isn’t interested in the DNA. Garnet just brushes past her bluff and says the Klampkins could kill the victim at any time. For the exchange, Garnet flies the shuttle with Stella Cogner (Jelena Moore) who is part of the bridge crew, but is featured in this ep. Boarding Ark-15, Cogner comes out of the hatch with the DNA case, she hands it over to Maddox’s crew member. Maddox won’t turn over the hostages until the DNA is confirmed and sends away the shuttle! It is unusual that it wasn’t Garnet at the negotiation, but she is busy copying the Ark-15’s invasion strategy using a compression suit to access a hatch! “The Last Thing You Will Ever Do”, Garnet is guided by Strickland and Brice via her ear piece, she passes workers, and sees the Weapons Room. Garnet backs up and is questioned by an Ark-15 crew member. She quickly knocks him out. His fellow crew member checks on him and Garnet slams him into the bulkhead.
She takes the prod to question another one who doesn’t know about how to use the weapon or the aliciainium crystals invented by Maddox. Alicia sees the spiders growing, Dr. Kabir is creeped out, but Alicai says she had a pet spider. She worries about Angus. Brice calls her to the bridge. Garnet sees tubes that take the Aliciainium. Alicia says she can hack into it. She has Garnet turn it on and off, very IT Crowd! Alicia gives her the command code. She finds a screen of folders and then holds up her watch to access it. They found the brig holding Angus. Kelly enters, she still thinks she did him a favor, Angus realizes her mother is Kelly’s weak point. He apologizes and asks about her different accent. Kelly says she was raised by her father in North America. Um, he is trying to seduce her in a turn around. Kelly says there would be only five Arks if not for her mother. She wants them to have dinner with her other. Garnet sneaks around and uses a prod to knock over a man that shatters cases of the spiders that crawl on her Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom-style! Lt. Lane sees Maddox enter with her guards.
She says Trust is needed to start Proxima B’s rotation. She sends in Vuk (Drasko Andjic), a burly guy, who breaks Trust’s finger. They leave and Lane breaks the finger back! Alicia gave them brown recluse spiders, not the Mediterreanean version. She wants Garnet to find the other elements needed for the cure. Eva look at Brice that they have the cure. The creepy dinner, Kelly notes that Angus is an expert, . Her mother says her boyfriends don’t last. Tasium aluminium sulfate and other elements with the venom is the cure. The crewmember activates the alarm and Garnet shocks him before leaving. Maddox thinks its a trick, but Kelly says she never left Angus. Suddenly, Maddox feels pain, and collapses. Angus sees she has a heart attack and attempts CPR. At the med bay, Kelly and Angus watch her recover. Doctor Marsh (Jadran Malkovich) says she has late stage Klampkins. Kelly didn’t know about it. The doctor says space travel accelerates the Klampkins. Kelly hugs Angus, but Maddox gives him the stare. A guard checks the alarm and held by Garnet with the prod so she can access the brig. Instead she finds Lane and Trust, but she only wants to find Angus.

Then, they are surprised by guards! Now they are all in the brig. Garnet says that Helena died. Lane tries to apologize. Brice asks about Eva’s progress on the weapon. Brice is in charge! Strickland asks about a plan and Brice collapses. Dr. Kabir rushes with her medkit, Strickland says it has been a minute, Brice is not at end stage. Brice revives. At the med bay, Dr. Kabir wants to know about the spiders’ growth since Brice doesn’t have much time. Brice on the bed, he says he wants Strickland to be in charge. Kelly takes Angus to his room, she hugs him, to thank him for saving her mother. She tells him as a warning about betraying her like how she killed Helena! Eva enters the med bay to tell Brice about the “told you so.” He says he is getting worse. They kiss. At Cat’s room, Strickland enters, she tries to bring up his family. Cat feels trapped in the room. Kelly has brought Angus breakfast, Angus asks to see the Ark-1 prisoners, and he tries to convince them to work with his “new crew.” Kelly is a simple child. Maddox sees Dr. Marsh enter the bridge to report that they were fooled by the spider DNA.
She knows the real spider DNA is on Ark-1 so can’t use the weapon. Maddox leaves to kill the prisoners. She has a different kind of pettiness than her daughter. Alicia has shocked the spider to produce the Klampkins cure. Dr. Kabir says that it needs tests, but Brice wants it immediately. Dr. Kabir injects the cure in a syringe and then into Brice’s arm. Dr. Kabir says there will be a change in his blood. Suddenly, he seizes up!, Dr. Kabir is shocked as Brice’s heart stops, they start using the shock paddles on him. Brice’s heart is still stopped and then the doctor runs. Dr. Kabir wants Strickland who just entered to check is vitals. He then reassures Dr. Kabir. An acting showcase for Richard Fleeshman this episode! Strickland takes Eva to the bridge. Wow, he really is command material! Strickland tells the crew that Brice has put him in command. Kelly takes the food tray to the guard and plays the mom card. He hugs Angus. Kelly holds out the prod. Angus suddenly slams Kelly with the tray and then hits her with the prod. Garnet then hits the guard with the prod! We are nearly at the season finale of The Ark!; our heroes have to find a way to escape Ark-15, find a cure to Klampkins and save Brice, and complete the mission to Proxima B!
Five Compression Suits out of Five!
