Plot
At the mansion Gryffen is watching a recording of his wife and children. Darius doesn't like Starkey staying however K9 insists that he must or the Jixen will find him. Jorjie arrives and talks to the others about travelling through time via the Space-Time Manipulator, Darius argues that its too dangerous and anything could come through. Suddenly the STM activates and sends a couple of Black rats through, scaring Darius. K9 informs Gryffen that the Jixen is on the loose heading for the Department's alien prison which contains a Meron, the Jixen's sworn enemy. Starkey suggests going to the prison to defeat the Jixen but K9 says its too dangerous. Gryffen asks K9 to go to the prison and track the Jixen. While Darius is with Mariah, Starkey asks him to come with him to help K9, Darius agrees but only with the promise that Starkey will leave. While moving towards the Prison K9 is detected by the Department. K9 is attacked by the Department's defense robots which disable him and he falls in a dustbin that Starkey and Darius walk by.
Starkey and Darius make it to the prison, only to be apprehended by the CCPCs. They are met by Thorne the governor of the prison who throws them in a cell with an alien. June comes in and takes Darius's communications device and contacts Gryffen who demands to know why the Department is imprisoning aliens. She says they need to be catalogued to look out for others of their species, Gryffen argues if the aliens are innocent but she insists it's the only way. She offers to release Starkey if he can give K9 to her but he refuses.
Back at the mansion Gryffen (who is tracking K9) manages to reactivate him by making a familiar sound (The sound of a ball). K9 then makes his way to the prison. Jorjie sees Starkey and Darius in their cell, Darius gives her a card he swiped from Thorne so she can free them and the other aliens. The CCPCs are sent to stop them. While all the prisoners make their way out Starkey is cornered by the Jixen but is saved by K9. The others go to a locked door which Darius tries to unlock.
To stop the Jixen, Starkey puts his jacket (which contains the Jixen tracking slime) in a cell which the Jixen finds. Starkey then locks the cell, a Department officer walks in who reveals his true Meron form and attacks K9. As he advances on Starkey the Jixen emits a loud scream which makes the Meron retreat. Thorne and June go to a locked room to hide from the Jixen but when June spots K9 on a camera she suggests they go and capture him, Thorne refuses but she unlocks the door and leaves anyway. Starkey and K9 meet up with the others and they all manage to escape but are met by June who tells them they are blocked by a forcefield, Jorjie then reveals to her that she helped the aliens. The Jixen arrives and attacks Starkey and June, K9 tries to fight it but exhausts his firepower. June gives Jorjie the forcefield device and tells her to attach it to the Jixen. Starkey manages to and it kills the Jixen.
Later, Starkey is hacking into the display board terminal again but is met by two CCPCS, K9 moves to protect him and they both run away.
