 Our time at #TheOutpost with Talon (Jessica Green), Garret Spears (Jake Stormoen), Janzo (Anand Desai-Barochia), Wren (Izuka Hoyle), Zed (Reece Ritchie), and Munt (Adam Johnson) is almost over!  Talon has revived Aster who put all of the Masters to sleep.  Marvin wants to help the Kahvi to survive, one dies.  Aster has closed his eyes, meditating in the woods outside, he says he was too merciful to put the Master to sleep.  Talon touches Aster, his zinj glows, and she faints!  Later, Talon says to Luna that she “peered into his soul.”  Aster says she was guardian for so long that they are bonded together like family.  They walk the woods, Aster pauses and then walks into the forest, Talon follows and then Luna reluctantly.  Aster is showing an impressive Blackblood stronghold, he says it was settled by his offspring, the Blackbloods, all of them!  He took the other Masters to this world.

Aster had seen the Whitebloods, the humans, he fell for a human, a woman, Talia, Talon saw in a vision.  Aster went to protect his child, the first Blackblood!, from Golu seen in the vision.  He says Luna is a distant cousin of Talon.  I love this explaination, it makes sense, thanks Justin Partridge (episode’s writer) and creators, Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin!  Janzo, Wren, and Marvin are in the Kahvi resting place, he wants to read the sequence to put them back to sleep.  Wren tells him to repeat the sequence backwards.  A rider has entered Gallwood Outpost that she had seen six Masters moving from the village two days away.  Garret and Zed wonder where is Talon.  At a camp fire, Talon admits her grandmother is named Talia, he says Talon is named after all of them.  Aster brings up the Akora Blades to take apart the Masters.  He meant to have the blades passed through the generations and held by her mother.  Talon flashes back to the beginning.  She shows him the blade from her mother.  

Aster says it is Akora and he says there are six more.  Is Akora the next quest?  Marvin blames himself for the death of his people.  He wants the Kahvi to be slaves of the Masters rather than dead.  Marvin looks to his friends for hope.  Morning, Garret sees Talon, and hugs her.  Talon tells Garret that she passed her zinj to Aster. Garret draws his sword on the Master.  Talon explains that he put the Masters to sleep.  Aster says when they first met and other details.  Talon takes Aster to her home who sits under an arch to meditate.  He is searching the cosmos, the zinj showed Talon the Plane of Ashes, they are interrupted by Zed.  He tells her that Nedra died.  Talon points out Aster to Wren.  The Blackblood connection, their ears split in two with black tips, in that aspect like the Masters.  She leaves Luna to watch over Aster and she toys with her dagger to throw at his head.  At the tavern, Talon tells Aster’s story, Warlita serves them and Munt hugs Zed.  Night at Gallwood Outpost, Garret has brought everyone for a meeting, Talon says that Aster has a plan, but Garret wants the entire Outpost to evacuate.

The Gallwood Outpost is busy with the evacuation, Janzo is keeping track of the supplies, he says to Munt that he will be staying with Wren.  He goes to see Marvin who is told by Janzo and Wren they will stay to help the Kahvi.  Garret sends out the soldiers to protect the caravans.  Talon brings up the question and says yes!  Aster is meditating when Wren enters.  She brings up the Kahvi and the problem.  Wren says that they are people.  Aster says that the Six have to use the Skelikor and goes back to meditating.  A guard shows Zed that a village on the horizon is burning.  Garret worries that the Outpost people will die.  He works out with the group that they need somehow to delay the Six.  Janzo has a plan.  He points out Gallwood Woods and plans to burn it with his incedinaries.  This might give them another day.  Garret leaves Talon behind to work with Aster. She sits next to Aster and offers to help.  He is looking for a dangerous world to exile the Six.  Aster says Talon will face them.  


On the wagon, Garret and Zed ride with the barrels.  Luna sees Talon who offers to stay to defend the Outpost.  Zed pours the barrels as Garret sets up arrows in the ground.  He hands Zed a bow to ignite with a fire and loose to the wagon.  It fizzles out.  Zed nocks another arrow.  He is kicked by Levare who suddenly appears while the others are on horseback.  Garret faces her with his sword.  She ports around them.  Zed rings up the bow, it passes Levare, and blows up the wagon.  Levare ports away in time.  They are about to evacuate, Munt tells Janzo that he is staying, and Warlita offers to join him.  Munt tells her that she can help with the children and then they kiss.  Talon tells the group about Aster’s plan.  Munt is on the battlement with the telescope and sees the fire.  The heroes hear the bell.  Zed and Garret walk in through the gate.  Wren and Janzo want everyone to go to the skelikor room, they have a change in the plan to save the Kahvi.  Janzo goes over the plan.  Wren points out the thousand Kahvi, Janya reviving them, and then stop Vorta from sending out the naviaspore.  Aster says that he will join the Six when they arrive together.  The Masters says they have prepared for Aster’s betrayal.  It is up to Talon to take on the Six and somehow save the Kahvi!
