Cupid's Dagger
Two aliens races, the Bruidians and the Navarians, are in dispute over the ownership of the planet Lopovius. They agree to let an archaeologist help them to settle the matter. The archaeologist is Darulio, the same Darulio that Ed caught Kelly sleeping with before they got divorced. Kelly quickly warms to Darulio and, before she knows it, she is back in bed with him. Ed is incensed but it isn't long before he starts to warm to Darulio, so much so that he grows jealous of Kelly.
Dr. Finn gives in to Yaffat's advances and gets intimate with him. Gordon, Alara, and the others are puzzled as to what is going on with Captain Mercer and Commander Grayson. It takes them a little while to piece it all together. A war almost breaks out between the Navarians and the Bruidians because Mercer and Grayson are ignoring them so that they can spend time with Darulio.
Darulio first and only previous appearance was in the series premiere. Rob Lowe plays the part of Darulio. I know him best from Parks and Recreation and The West Wing.
The story gets wrapped up very quickly, as is frequently the case with this show and others like it. The fight between the two alien fleets ends as quickly as it begins. There is no evidence of any debris from destroyed or damaged ships.
This was a very funny episode. I liked it very much. It wasn't too hard to figure out what was going on or how things would turn out. I feel as though they must have done something like this before on an episode of Star Trek or some other science fiction show.
