Last episode, Falista appears and takes the crown alongside the revived Tobin. At the ceremony, Garret whispers to Falista that she can’t side with the Three. He takes out his sword to take on the guards. Two escapes using his Zinj. Garret is about to strike Two and Falista uses her Red Zinj on him. Talon says she does not accept her rule. Garret is arrested. Two tells the assembled to hail Queen Falista and King Tobin. Later, Two and Three want Garret killed, but Tobin disagrees with them. Falista notes that Garret will be imprisoned. Three moves to take Tobin’s dagger and holds it to his throat. Falista orders Three to stand down. Two has a suggestion. At his cell, Talon meets with Garret, she wanted him to wait for their chance to take on Two and Three. Garret has faith in Tobin that he would be spared. He wants Talon to rally the troops. She doesn’t think this will work with the Covenant soldiers under Falista’s control. Hopeless situation? There is always a way with The Outpost!

Luna plays at the card game, Octa, slipping one card from underneath the table. New characters in The Outpost always start off flawed, but need to prove themselves. Janzo sees her cheating. He tells Luna that she will only have one hand. Her opponent wants his money. He holds a dagger to Luna and Munt has his hammer. Luna takes hold of the man and twists his hand taking away the dagger. Covenant soldiers shut down the tavern, Nightshade Inn, and they take away Luna. The commander wants the tavern closed. He announces the order of Queen Falista closing the Nightshade Inn. Munt holds Janzo as they see their life’s work ended. Both Falista and Tobin enjoyed their time at the tavern so this must be an order by Two and Three. Luna is taken to the cell next to Garret. She gets buckets of water thrown at her. Garret says she reminds him of someone, Talon, also familiar to Luna. Garret gives her his coat because he’s a gentleman.
Zed walks the alleyway and Janzo brings him a question about Blackbloods, specifically their ear tips. He says Janzo should ask Wren. She can’t keep the secret for long! Talon trains at sparring, Zed says that Lu-Qiri are missing. Falista wants Tobin to use the bed, but he feels it is too soon after Gwynn’s death. He doesn’t think the gods spared his life and is uncomfortable that his men died. Falista says that the gods spoke to her, really Vorta the demon woman, and says she is One. Can Tobin file for divorce with the gods? Talon checks the tracks of the Lu-Qiri in the misty forest. Zed tries to convince Talon to rule and wants her to bring over the Blackbloods. It’s kind of a torture to leave the Blackbloods. Tobin enters the prison and sends away the guards. He says he will let Garret out if he gives his loyalty to Falista and Tobin. Garret does not want to be under the Three again. He wants Tobin to kill Two and Three, but he refuses. Garret says the Three killed Tobin’s father. Luna wakes up and says Garret should have lied giving his allegiance. Falista has twin thrones made for herself and Tobin.

Talon and Zed hear a battle. Lu-Quiri are attacking a man, they use their whistle rings, Zed uses his Zinj and is contacted by Vorta. She has detected all of the Zinj users! A Lu-Qiri knocks out Talon! Night, Talon finally revives and checks on Zed. Vorta must have used the Lu-Qiri. Zed explains his vision of Vorta. She had called Talon the Betrayer. Janzo is getting ready for sleep and wonders about Wren’s ears. He said that Zed told him it was a serious condition. Wren finally reveals to Janzo that she is pregnant. He faints. The commander frees Luna. She says she knows how to repay her debt to Talon. Now awake, Janzo is excited for his new baby, he wants to tell everyone, but Wren wants it kept a secret from others. Falista is asleep, a man appears with a dagger, he is stopped by Tobin. The assassin stabs Tobin’s leg and Falista uses her Red Zinj to stop her. Tobin throws the dagger at Luna, but she falls from the balcony. Talon wouldn’t want a supposed debt paid by an assassination!
The next day, Two and Three say that the assassin may have been sent by Garret Spears. Also, there is a conspiracy to kill Falista so she orders a search. Janzo, Munt, and Warlita try to clean up the tavern. Munt catches a mention that Janzo made about a child. Janzo decides to tell them about Wren and they are happy. Soldiers arrive to take away Warlita to give the queen a bath since she’s a handmaiden. Talon and Zed enter the Outpost and see the opened door. Luna is bleeding from the dagger wound. Zed brings Janzo to stitch up her wound. Zed sees the soldiers take away citizens. He tells the others that all of the houses are being searched. Soldiers burst into the room, Zed, Janzo, and Talon are sitting at a table, Luna must be underneath it. They search including a bundle of blankets at the bed. The others move the table and Janzo finishes the stitching. Janzo is nervous about Zed and Talon going to see Wren. They show Wren a picture of Vorta. She does not recognize the creature. The conflict between Two and Three gives five times the trouble to Tobin and Falista. The threat of Vorta is lingering. The Outpost keeps up the tension with this episode!
Four Zinjes out of Five!
