Gryffen finds a helmet. Thorne tells him to get on with his work. Gryffen finds the stabiliser in a puddle of slime. After retrieving the stabiliser, Thorne tells Gryffen to bring it and they'll go back home. As Thorne and the CCPCs leave, Gryffen spots something of interest: empty pods. Thorne says there is nothing in them. Gryffen says the "nothings" have escaped. Whatever they are, they are loose in the tunnels. | Gryffen finds a helmet. Thorne tells him to get on with his work.

K9 tells the team he will need them all to operate the STM. Starkey, Darius and Jorjie finish setting all the instruments and powering it up. Starkey tells Jorjie to hold the instrument he's on. He goes downstairs and jumps through the STM portal after K9. They are transported to Canada. K9 says that they only have 2 hours before the portal closes behind them. | K9 tells the team he will need them all to operate the STM.

They are transported to Canada. K9 says that they only have 2 hours before the portal closes behind them. Starkey spots the crash site and they move towards it. The CCPCs roughly take Gryffen away from the pods. He drops the stabiliser. As they take Gryffen out, Gryffen demands to know what was in the pods. Thorne says it's not for him to question. He's a scientist, paid to do whatever scientists do. Thorne orders a Canadian CCPC to get a squadron and scour the tunnels. | ||
K9 and Starkey arrive at the base. They go through the tunnels, to be met by a [[Korven]]. He takes aim, but is shot by K9 before he can fire. Gryffen tells Thorne he doesn't have the stabiliser. He must have dropped it when the CCPCs manhandled him. They meet Starkey and K9, who tell Gryffen about the Korven. Gryffen realises the Korven was in the pods and that the ship and the STM are Korven technology. K9 notes there are over a hundred Korven in the area. Thorne decides they should all leave. Gryffen tells K9 and Starkey they have to go back for the stabiliser. When they return to the site, K9 gives Gryffen and Starkey a diversion by flying around the CCPCs, making animal sounds. Gryffen grabs the stabiliser, but is met by a CCPC. He throws it to Starkey. K9 and Starkey leave as the CCPCs chase Gryffen. He runs down a corridor, where he meets a Korven. It fires at him, but misses. Gryffen spots a door and goes outside. The Korven and the CCPCs start a battle. | K9 and Starkey arrive at the base.

With only minutes left, Starkey asks K9 where Gryffen is. | With only minutes left, Starkey asks K9 where Gryffen is. K9 says that he went outside, which surprises Starkey. K9 shows Starkey the way out of the tunnels where they meet Gryffen at the transportation spot and head home. Thorne asks the CCPC where Gryffen is and is told he is outside. When Thorne asks about the stabiliser, the CCPC tells him that Starkey had it which causes Thorne to grin knowingly. | ||
As Gryffen goes to the STM, K9 strongly advises against activating it with that device. The Korven are more dangerous than the [[Jixen]], more dangerous than any alien he has encountered and could have only come to Earth to further their aggression. They want to rule time and space. If they had the missing piece, they may allow the Korven to enter. Gryffen finds that K9's enhancement code appears on his screen when he brings the stabiliser near his console. Starkey asks what K9's enhancement code is doing in Korven technology. K9 has no answers. Gryffen says that until they find out, the stabiliser is out of operation. The team are happy that K9 is stuck on Earth with them for a long time. | As Gryffen goes to the STM, K9 strongly advises against activating it with that device.
