There has been a breach in the Taelon commonality, and soon all the Taelons will revert back to an atavistic state. To solve their problem while Sandoval and Lili try to discover what is causing the breach, the aliens bring in groups of humans and place them in Near Death Experiences to bleed off the 'soul' substance the Taelons need to survive.
Yes, it's another Zo'or experiment, although this time the stakes are higher. This is an episode about trust. Sandoval is unsure about Lili and wants her to give him the same respect she gave Boone, and Doors is unsure whether or not to trust Liam to rescue Maiya and Augur, who are catatonic on the Taelon mothership.
This whole story seems rather pointless. Liam shows another of his amazing yet convenient powers, nearly all the main cast look like they're about to die at some point (or do), and Zo'or tries to kill some more humans. There are also a lot of questions left at the end: exactly what was the device causing the breach? How did Augur and Maiya invade Liam's dreams, when once they knew nothing was real, they were supposed to wake up? How exactly is Liam still alive at the end of the episode? And also at the end, Sandoval goes to see Maiya at the Flat Planet Café. If, as he says earlier, Augur is wanted by Russian authorities, why does he not arrest the computer genius who spends most of his time there?
