Luna is in shock after seeing the deaths.  Talon argues with Garret who explains that he is working with Tobin who has the Zinj.  He notes that Talon sees herself in Luna.  She has him promise to look after Luna.  Janzo is preparing his distillery at his lab.  Munt compares Janzo to their mother, the Mistress.  Talon worries about the Blackfists, but Wren wants the important texts, and she has them leave in the morning.  Queen Falista gives a scarf to a young girl and gives a bag of coins to her mother.  A man is upset at her and she uses her zinj on him.  He spits at her and Falista unleashes the full power of her zinj.  Falista almost seems like a just ruler, but the zinj has corrupted her.  Vorta contacts Falista, maybe speaking to the zinj directly, and wants to reunite all of them.  Talon activates the portal with her zinj, Wren kisses Janzo, and goes into the portal.  Janzo has Talon promise to protect Wren.  Garret confronts Tobin that the sacrifice is not a single soldier, but twenty.  Tobin takes a few drinks from his flask.  He threatens Garret with finding the assassin.  


Two reassures Falista that she did the right thing.  The queen is convinced to take out dissidents.  She has guards find disloyal people.  At the Plane of Ashes, wrapped in smoke, they find the Lu-Qiri are dead.  Zed checks out the cave.  Wren says that there was a Blackblood guard at the entrance.  They find their people dead in the cave.  Issa (Jovana Miletic) and the Blackfists have killed the people.  She points out with her sword all of them are still a problem.  They start fighting the Blackfists, Talon dueling with Issa.  Wren stabs Issa pressing Talon against a rock.  She has found a children’s toy that she shows Zed.  Um, these events all happened while Talon had the Blackbloods locked away, she is in part responsible for their deaths.  Wren sends Zed to find Corbin.  Talon goes with Wren to find the texts.  Janzo stitches up Luna.  Garret says he is going to assassinate Falista and needs soldiers.  He realizes that Janzo is selling alcohol Prohibition-style.

Talon realizes that Wren is with child.  Tobin is drunk in bed.  He finds a number of bottles on the table.  He uses his zinj to teleport over to them, but finds himself on steps with the coffin of Vorta!  She is confined in it.  Her eyes suddenly open and this startles Tobin.  She teleports before Vorta reaches out to him.  Night at the Outpost, Tobin goes to talk to Falista and talks about seeing Vorta in the tomb.  Falista thinks it is the gods.  Tobin seems like he realizes the threat of Vorta and maybe can ally with Talon and the others.  Zed calls out for his brother, Corven (Ross Ritchie).  He says that the Blackbloods have all been eliminated.  He tells Corven that Wren is now the High Priestess.  Corven has the texts!  Zed is confronted by an archer, Idra, who takes down the Blackfist archers.  She whistles for the children hidden in the cave.  Everyone is assembled and Tobin opens the portal.  It is nice that the refugee children are saved, but they should have crossed over to Gallwood Outpost earlier.  There ares till, of course some surprises and the balance of power has shifted.  Two is still a threat and may be getting power for the "gods", but has not encountered Vorta in person so far.  The tension of this episode of The Outpost is ramped up with "The Three" a factor with the "gods" represented by Vorta!
