The party manages to come back to the ship, but the Doctor is knocked on his head by one of the debris and must be taken to the infirmary. On Myla's order, Toben tries to shoot the Vanguard to stop it entering the Bridge, but Ian sabotages the shooting out of fear for Barbara's life. The Vanguard is thus able to enter the Bridge, bringing with it the navigational charts needed for crossing the nebula. Susan, however, reveals her grandfather could be able to build a device to detect radiations, which would allow the Endurance to follow the ship into the Bridge and take back what they need. | The party manages to come back to the ship, but the Doctor is knocked on his head by one of the debris and must be taken to the infirmary.

She attempts at threatening him by having Susan removed to the engine room with Benya (which is actually the safest place on the ship), but the Doctor insists and Myla relents. She reveals to him that, when the nebula formed, it affected their people making them sterile, forcing her first to build synthetic bodies for their people to survive, and then to experiment on a reptilian species of adaptable lizard. She sped up their evolution in the hope of finding a way for her people to be once again flesh and blood, but only created a new, intelligent species (the Shifts) who are also sterile and hate them for what they did to them. | ||
As the Doctor works on the device, Ian notices Olivan lacks the cybernetics implants and the marks of the syntethic body of the others, and realizes he is flesh and blood. Toben confirms it: Olivan is the first natural-born person in centuries for them, and the chamber Arran was so interested in was an artificial birthing chamber, devised by Myla. The Doctor finishes the work and collapses unconscious, but not without saying Ian to "stop the tide" to help these people. In the engine room, Susan and Benya find the body of a Shift Olivan left there as a joke. The Doctor's detector works, and allows the Endurance to track down the Vanguard in the Bridge, also thanks to Ian's understanding of the Doctor's instructions (an ancient manouevre used by sailors): the ship stops the engines and let the gas wind bring them up to speed. However, as they arrive, the Vanguard fires an electromagnetic impulse who cripples the Endurance, forcing Ian, to save everyone, to drive the ship into a nearby cloud of potentially deadly gas. | As the Doctor works on the device, Ian notices Olivan lacks the cybernetics implants and the marks of the syntethic body of the others, and realizes he is flesh and blood.
