A new pastor arrives in a stark Vermont village and is intrigued by crippled, misshapen Ethan Frome living on an isolated, hardscrabble farm with his sickly wife Zeena.
The Daedalus team take over one of the Ilea labs from midday, every day until further notice, much to the students' anger. Phillipe and Gabriella organise the students to occupy the Daedalus gantry in retaliation.
Things escalate quickly, with the students occupying gantry 2, Brelan refusing to budge, and poor Finbow caught in the middle. Tim's breaking into Brelan's cabin, however, may prove the final straw.
The dismay at finding Eliot's tampering was the cause of the malfunctions is overridden when fire breaks out. Daniel proves himself a hero, staying in command to allow the shuttles to evacuate the students.
The standoff continues. Finbow is unable to break Tim's override of the life support systems and the Ilea's temperature drops to below freezing everywhere but gantry 2. But hungry Tim is caught raiding for food by Brelan.
Daniel and Gervaise raid the dome for food, as there's none on gantry 2. Brelan makes Tim reverse the temperature commands: cold and hungry, the protesting students start drifting back to the main part of the ship.
Approaching Io, Ilea finds the Interworld Chemical plant, which had been experimenting with propulsion mixes, in trouble. Offering the remaining protesters a face-saving way out, Brelan asks for their help in dealing with the crisis.
Finbow's being hailed a hero makes Brelan jealous. Good news about the first officer's medical problem is overturned by bad news from the Space Commission. Auditions start for the student production of Romeo and Juliet.
Christophe talks Finbow through the operation. Brelan, angry at Spacer Command's reprimand, tries again but probably makes the problem worse - and the friendship between Mercedes and Drummond rouses his jealousy.
The animal Tim rescued from the experimental lab is found to be less harmful than believed - until it escapes onto the Ilea. Finbow anxiously awaits the results of his operation.
Finbow's crush is now general - and embarrassing - news. Gabriella is torn between her role in the play and an EVA that will advance her career. Fiona and Tim are playing a dangerous game.
Natasha and Finbow behave outrageously. The Thought Police arrive for Tim and Fiona. Gabriella, playing a lead role, won't make it back for the first night of the play. And Brelan comes to the rescue. It's all too much for Byron.
The challenge of her situation finally sinks in for Melody. Victoria is torn between joining Jean-François on Island 5 and teaching on the Ilea while researching her PhD. Anna is sure she's got her degree.
Mercedes, still on Island 5, is never available to take Brelan's calls. Victoria is determined to join Jean-François, despite Brelan's persuasion. Anna may have been the victim of a cruel hoax.
Anna is out for revenge against Tim and Fiona. Drummond, Brelan, Natasha and Victoria gather to hear the report from Valhalla: Ariel 9, around Parkinson's star, is earthlike and in the goldilocks zone, justifying the Daedalus mission.
Ilea is headed to Pasiphae: the students visit the Stardust for a last celebration only to find it wrecked and Lili arrested. Mercedes returns, to Brelan's delight. Melody is in pain.
The mystery of Anna's experience in the dome is explained. Finbow starts his follow-up course of treatment. Things remain tense between Mercedes and Natasha, with Drummond caught in the middle.
A comet storm from the Oort cloud threatens Ilea's trajectory: can Mercedes saved the day? Tranquillity is rumbled by Brelan, and forced to join the students until the ship reaches Pasiphae.
Finbow jeopardises his recovery with an unauthorised EVA to repair the back up cryo unit. Daniel delivers his presentation for entry into the Space Service, and asks Melody to move in with him.
