The Scarecrow Returns (Episode 111)

Deep below the ground at Resistance headquarters, William Boone (Kevin Kilner) met with two molecular biologists who were studying the alien probe captured after it wreaked havoc on an Amish community. Sahjit Jinnah (Damon D'Oliveira) and his fiancee Rayna Armitraj (Sonia Dhillon) used fiber optics to drill inside the probe, trying to identify its purpose. But when Boone and Sahjit left the lab, a sudden power surge caused Rayna to cut open the top of the probe. The probe responded by emitting a powerful beam which enveloped Rayna and dematerialized her piece by piece, ingesting each portion. Unaware of the situation, Sahjit and Boone met with Doors (David Hemblen) and Auger (Richard Chevolleau) to discuss the probe's purpose. They recalled its ability to replicate butterflies into miniature killer probes which killed several people. Back in the lab, the probe replicated Rayna, "birthing" two clones to take her place. Boone met with Da'an (Leni Parker) to ask the Companion's permission to study the Taelon language, which he believed would help the Resistance decode the probe's operating commands. Da'an gave his consent, and even helped Boone learn the Taelon "alphabet." Back at Resistance headquarters, Auger and Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard) had deciphered the probe's transmission coordinates to determine where exactly it was sending information. Oddly, the probe seemed to be trying to send information to a point on the other end of the galaxy from the planet Taelon. As they discussed their findings with Doors, Boone and Sahjit tried to communicate with the probe, when suddenly one of Rayna's clones appeared and immolated itself on the headquarter's reactor power generator. Sahjit was beside himself with grief thinking it was Rayna when the second clone appeared and attacked Lili in the lab. As the clone moved to kill Lili, the probe sent a burst of energy into the sky, relaying a transmission. The clone turned its attention to the probe and Lili was momentarily spared, although she was still trapped inside the lab.

Da'an and Agent Ron Sandoval (Von Flores) detected the transmission and put a trace on it to find the probe. The trace led them into the tunnels which were the outer defense of the Resistance hideout. Boone and Sahjit worked furiously to cut a laser into the clone's force field surrounding the lab, finally getting in to blow the Rayna clone to bits. With Lili safe, they had to turn over the probe to the Taelons, who could control it, without Sandoval and Da'an finding the headquarters. To make matters worse, the probe morphed into a pile of crystal sand, and disappeared into the lab's ventilation ducts. With Sandoval and Da'an moments from their doorstep, and Doors threatening to blow up the whole facility, Boone devised a plan to save them all. He used reactor fuel to coax the probe back to its original form and lead it into the tunnels. As the probe began to analyze the fuel, Da'an and Sandoval arrived. The probe turned to attack them but Da'an had obviously encountered these probes before and, with a struggle, was able to "cap" the probe with a Taelon device, finally shutting it down.
