During the autopsy of one of the bodies found on the derelict, one body reanimates briefly and kills the pathologist. A plague then breaks out on the base.
          Meanwhile, Tynus doesn't want to cooperate but is forced to when Avon reminds him that Tynus was a partner in Avon's ill-fated banking scheme. He agrees to help, but Vila discovers that Tynus has betrayed them and sent for Servalan. Under the guise of a fire, Avon steals the crystal and he and Vila teleport back to the Liberator.
