XCIX
Jack and Ashi visit a market where the food looks delicious to Jack but not to Ashi. They catch a ride on a giant creature only to discover that the other passengers on the creature want to kill them. They attempt to cross a great desert on foot but a sandstorm forces them to search for cover. They find it in a crashed spaceship.
The shelter turns out to be the remnant of a prison ship. The ship's most dangerous inmate has escaped from it's cell and comes after them. It is an organism that is made up of lots of little leach-like creatures. Jack and Ashi run from it but are unable to find their way back out of the prison ship.
The pair locate a control room and a device that should help them to neutralize the creature pursuing them. The creature eventually catches up to them. Jack can't figure out how to activate the device. He tries, she tries, until finally, somehow, the device gets activated and fries all the little leach-like critters.
Jack and Ashi flirt throughout this episode. It ends with them kissing after the creatures are dead. I think I would be more comfortable with this relationship turning romantic if there wasn't such a big age difference between them. Maybe I should just lighten up. It isn't like they have anyone else to choose from.
This felt like two episodes in one. There's the budding romance and then there's the battle with the creatures. The two don't go together famously but it could have been worse.
