Spock has an epiphany: Each of the signals is directly linked to an element needed for them to win this battle. The time crystal showed her one possible future, not the definitive outcome. And in order for her to take Discovery into the future, she must send the first 5 signals.
The road to To Your Eternity: Season 2's climactic battle against the Nokkers has been a long and rocky one, but Episode 14 brings that road to an end in its closing moments. After several episodes' worth of build-up, To Your Eternity finally sees the arrival of the Nokkers in Renril City and the beginning of the alliance's counterattack -- and the episode throws an almighty spanner in the works for good measure.
Before all that, though, the episode spends most of its runtime doing housekeeping before the big battle kicks off. Following the events of Episode 13 -- in which Fushi had successfully won the favor of the people of Renril City -- the alliance continues in its efforts to fortify the town against the Nokker attack.
It's an interesting wrinkle to throw right before the final battle, but it doesn't seem to deter the alliance from their resolve. When Fushi despairs about the alliance's chances, they offer Bon, Messar, Kai and Hairo the opportunity to join the civilians of Renril being evacuated.
Fushi started the season as a pariah, afraid of getting close to anyone out of fear of losing them, and despite the hardships thrown their way since then, they've been rewarded with an entire city that trusts and believes in them. While Season 2's character writing hasn't been as strong as the first season's, seeing the fruits of Fushi and Bon's development is admittedly satisfying, and a welcome reprieve before the final battle gets underway.
When the final battle does begin at last, however, To Your Eternity decides to throw one more spanner in the works. With Renril under their complete control, Fushi places several backup bodies across the city for them to apparate into at a moment's notice -- including March's, placed atop a tower.
Kitan gives them a vial of beta-secretase protein, at which point the base comes under attack from the Kaylon. A tense firefight ensues between the resistance and a fleet of disembodied head drones, plus the scavenger ship in orbit above them has come under attack. Brave members of the resistance fall, one after another, as the battle on the ground seems hopeless. Eventually, they're overrun and the headquarters is destroyed in a massive explosion.
While preparing for battle, Clarke and Lexa have a heated discussion. Desperate for help, Raven has Wick summoned to the engineering room. Jaha and Murphy encounter a perilous roadblock. Meanwhile, at Mount Weather, Bellamy is in a race against time.
In the Grounder camp, Clarke is stressing over the battle plans and Lexa tells her she should rest because she is wasting her energy. Clarke worries over whether or not Bellamy will be successful and Lexa tells her that is what it means to be a leader. Lexa tells her she was born to be a leader, just like her.
Bellamy grabs an emergency fire ax and uses it to bust the door lock to the Acid Fog room and jam the doors from being easily opened. He calls into Raven and begins to describe the Acid Fog room. Wick tells Bellamy to go to the monitor and asks after Monty. Bellamy starts reading off what he sees on the monitor and asks if he can just blow it up. Wick tells him that would let Mount Weather know their defenses are down while Raven tells him he would probably melt his face off.
Lexa summons Clarke to her tent to tell her that Octavia has nothing to fear from Lexa because Lexa trusts Clarke. Lexa tells her that their ways may be harsh but it is how they survive. Clarke asks if maybe they deserve more out of life than just surviving and Lexa kisses Clarke. Clarke returns the kiss before breaking away, telling Lexa that she is not ready to be with anyone. The Grounders outside raise the alert that a flare has been spotted and they prepare for battle. Lexa tells them to sound the horn and announces they are going to war.
Bellamy runs out of bullets and scurries through the air duct as Emerson begins a countdown on the Acid Fog deployment. One of the guards goes after Bellamy in the air ducts while another guard checks the tanks in the Acid Fog room. When Emerson counts down to one, Cage says, "we're go for Veil." The Acid Fog machine starts to fire up just as one of the guards spots the lit acetylene torch next to the flammable oxygen tank. A massive explosion takes place, blowing out everyone and everything in the Acid Fog room and traveling through the air ducts. It takes out the guard that had followed Bellamy and the force of the explosion reaches Bellamy just as he gets to a ventilation shaft, pushing him out before the fire reaches him. Bellamy smiles with relief that he is still alive.
Octavia is marching through the forest with Indra and the other Grounders when Clarke walks up and tries to assign Octavia to the Rear Guard where she will be safe. Octavia tells her she doesn't take orders from Clarke; she takes them from Indra. She breaks off their friendship. Indra tells Clarke Lexa is looking for her and Clarke takes off. Indra and Octavia discuss the Tondc bombing and Indra tells Octavia that Clarke and Lexa didn't do anything; it was the Mountain Men. They sound the battle cry as they continue their march.
The episode begins at the secret government black site housing suspected alien beings. General McCallister (Linda Hamilton) doesn't believe that the kid who looks like Bobby Smallwood is actually an alien. She tells the boy to stop wasting her time. Sensing deep pain within the General, the newborn reads her mind, learning that her lighthouse keeper father committed suicide when the government gaslit him into thinking he never saw a UFO. The baby then reverts to its true form, giving McCallister the proof she's chased her entire life.
Meanwhile, the resort battle continues with Kate and Kayla (Sarah Podemski) calling on their legal expertise to temporarily bar construction from taking place in the town. Ben gets all passive-aggressive, loudly grinding coffee beans every time Kayla and his wife attempt to make any progress at the kitchen table. Realizing that it's probably unwise to hold such meetings in the house, Kate proposes a truce: the resort will not be discussed by either of them at home.
Despite her moment of skiing triumph in Episode 13, D'Arcy has begun to spiral out of control, experiencing rapid mood swings from her addiction to painkillers. This begins to worry Elliott (Justin Rain), who later breaks up with her.
Although she cannot read well, she understands just enough to learn that Wen Xu has been beheaded in battle, and that his head was displayed at the tip of a sword as a sign of power in front of the battle array.
Wang Lingjiao begins to realize her situation. When the Sunshot Campaign began two months back, everyone dismissed it. The Lanling Jin Clan was on the fence and could likely be persuaded to return to the Qishan Wen Clan's side, Nie Mingjue was so stiff he would probably be murdered by his own cultivators in the Qinghe Nie Clan, the Gusu Lan Clan's Lan Xichen was still a junior, and the Yunmeng Jiang Clan'sJiang Cheng was even younger, and needed to recruit entirely new disciples.
In the novel, Wen Xu was beheaded in a battle at Hejian, not Qinghe. Additionally, rather than recruit disciples to help her, Wang Lingjiao stole the letter given to Wen Chao to learn of his brother's death. She thus planned to flee alone, as there were no disciples allied with her.[2]
In the original timeline, the Kaylon emissary Isaac had a relationship with Claire which convinced him to betray his people and save the Union from the Kaylon. Now that never happened and the Union lost the battle. Claire states that the only way to restore the timeline is to send Claire to the year 2414 and successfully wipe younger Kelly's memory.
Alara and the Resistance fight a futile battle against the Kaylon but buy Ed and his companions enough time to escape through the south entrance and return to their shuttle. Meanwhile, the scavenger vessel is attacked by Kaylon spheres.
In Engineering, John feeds all available energy to the accelerator, pushing the quantum drive to its absolute limits. The enormous output of energy from the engines begins to tear the ship apart. "If this doesn't work," Ed asks Kelly. "Will you marry me?" In their last moments, Kelly replies, "Yes." The quantum accelerator begins to glow; the quantum drive overloads and destroys the Orville.
Buffy has a dream in which Angel indicates that Jenny knows more than she is letting on. The next morning Buffy confronts Jenny who tells her that Angelus was cursed with a soul in vengeance for what he did to her people, and that Enyos had tasked her with keeping Buffy and Angel apart. When Buffy, Jenny, and Giles arrive at Enyos' home, they find that Angelus has brutally killed him, leaving Buffy a message written in blood on the wall. Buffy begins to accept that she has to kill Angelus.
Tracking down the Judge, who is slaughtering people at a crowded mall, Buffy blows him to bits with the anti-tank weapon. Buffy stalks Angelus through the fleeing crowd and, when he ambushes her, they battle ferociously. Reaching a stand-off, Buffy is still unwilling to kill Angelus and settles for kicking him in the crotch.
Kaz, Synara, Neeku, and the B1 droid arrive at the hangar and are immediately surrounded by the B2 battle droids. But Neeku gives a command and the B1 orders the rest to stand down and imprison all the pirates, which they instinctively follow. It seems Neeku had secretly built in a failsafe while working to repair the droids. Instead of imprisoning them further, Synara convinces Doza to allow the pirates to leave with their hyperdrive deactivated, under the condition that they never again return to the Colossus. She then also tells Kragan to consider her debt to him repaid as he and his crew disembark on the Galleon. Kaz is upset that Yeager and Doza enlisted Neeku to spy on Kragan without telling him, and Neeku accidentally drops some major burns on Kaz while attempting to pay him a compliment about his somewhat less-than-covert espionage skills. 781b155fdc
