Mera's spacecraft splashes down in the ocean and as she swims to the surface she is surrounded by Commandoes. Seeing the craft come down from the island, Brett, Neri and Jason rush out to rescue Mera. Once safely back on Neri's island, Mera tells of the spread of the red virus on the Ocean planet, the rebel's growing power, and their plans to invade the Earth after melting the polar ice caps. Malakat and Shersheba make arrangements to return to Earth while Neri hides the new ankh in the river near the Bates' farm. Winston picks up Praxis radar activity near ORCA. Agent Shelby has monitored Mera's craft as it arrived on Earth and after connecting it with previous activity in the area, he is able to get Project Pheonix reopened. Neri observes Shersheba returning to the pyramid with her commandoes.
