Oh, I see things are all starting to come together.

K9's missing memories, the Jixen, Thorne putting Korven tech into machines, Darius' dad, the head of The Department. Honestly all the moving parts of the story are just coming together quite nicely here.

The acting however continues to disappoint, we don't get enough of June and Gryffen, and Thorne's acting here isn't the greatest, there's a line where he's meant to repeat a line with different emphasis, but seemingly just forgets to change the emphasis.

I do like Jixey though, the Jixen are one of the best costumes the show's got, and it was a real shame they hadn't really come back until here, but hey, now they have, and they've got a big link to K9's backstory that they can explain now they're able to talk.

The episode does end very abruptly though which is really weird, I was hoping for a talk with the Jixen and the gang, but nope, just cuts to a shot of Thorne, and then credits

It’s difficult to critique this one in ways that I haven’t already covered for previous episodes. Even my hero Thorne is on poor form here. The nature of the threat kept twisting and turning into ever more unlikely shapes.

[The garage]

(Darius is asleep in Mariah’s backseat. Thorne knocks on the window and wakes him up. Thorne pulls the window down.)

DARIUS: What are you doing here?
THORNE: You’re a good sleeper. What I wouldn’t give to sleep like that.
DARIUS: Don’t know how you sleep at all. What do you want?
THORNE: I just thought you might like some news of your father.
DARIUS: Oh, yeah? What makes you think that?
THORNE: Come on, Darius. Don’t be so hard-hearted. The poor man is in prison for a long time.
DARIUS: Well, you do the crime, you do the VR time, right?
THORNE: But there’s VR time and then there’s VR time. He’s doing hard time, Darius. The hardest. And frankly we think he’s cracking up.
DARIUS: What, Harry Pike crack up? You don’t know my father.
THORNE: You’re right, of course, but maybe you could just take a peak and let me know if I’m wrong. Set my mind at ease. And yours. See for yourself how he’s doing. (Thorne holds out a pair of VR goggles.) I know you two have had your issues but he is your old dad. (Darius does not move.) All right, forget it. I’ll let myself out.

(Thorne goes to leave. Darius gets out of Mariah.)

DARIUS: Oi! Oi! Okay.
