- Book agrees to stand down, but Tarka launches his isolytic weapon regardless. It destroys the DMA, however a new DMA appears in its place.
- Tarka's motive for destroying the DMA is he wants the power source… which is on the other side of the wormhole.
- Mary Wiseman (Sylvia Tilly) and Blu del Barrio (Adira Tal) do not appear in this episode, and their names do not appear in the opening credits.
