He feels bad that he’s not human and doesn’t have Elizabeth’s magic alien powers.. When a pregnant fifth column Lizard and her husband sneak off the ship, they want Willie to be their baby’s ” wontu ” ( Like a godfather ).. Phillip wants to crush Mike Donavan because he believes Mike killed his brother.. He goes down to the planet to kill Mike, but Diana hooks him up with a Visitor, named Angela, who wants to see Phillip killed.. Plot: After receiving information obtained from Robert, a Fifth Columnist, Willie leads Mike and Kyle to the co-ordinates of the Mentamorph, a Visitor device which uses mind control to destroy the will to live and fight.. Unbeknownst to them, the trio are being tracked and watched by Diana aboard the Mothership.. Once Robert realizes that the Mentamorph was a trap for the Resistance, he quickly leaves the bridge..Philip and Lydia are initially upset that they were not informed of Diana’s plot.. While Philip is sickened by Diana’s taste for killing others, he admits that he looks forward to Donovan’s death, believing that Mike was responsible for Martin’s death.. On the street below, the Resistance trio evades a Visitor patrol.. Throwing a couple of grenades, they destroy the jeep and its passengers.. They eventually arrive at the secret location of the Mentamorph and move forward to destroy it.. On board the Mothership, Robert heads to the weapons centre, where he knocks out the guard and triggers some controls..Opening a panel, he takes out three large white borellium crystals, then heads to his cabin.. Mike begins to have doubts and comments on the ease of their approach.. At that moment the Mentamorph begins pulsing with light.. It explodes in a shower of debris, and Willie realizes the real Mentamorph would never have shattered, as the group makes a quick getaway after the close call. Diana, meanwhile, is furious that her explosives went off too early, especially considering the fact that Philip already regarded the entire mission as an overstep of her bounds.. Diana attempts to salvage the situation and rid herself of the three Resistance members below by ordering the entire area blasted with laser fire.. She orders the Mothership lasers set on a five block radius to destroy the Resistance leaders.. However nothing happens – the Motherdhip’s lasers have been sabotaged by Robert, and the ship is unable to fire.. Leaving the Mothership defenceless, Diana and Philip decide to investigate.. Robert gets his pregnant wife, Glenda, and leads her to the shuttle bay with a few of their belongings.. Philip and Diana trail them to the shuttle bay, where the renegades plan to make their getaway but are unable to shoot because they may damage the crystals which are needed for the Motherships lasers to fire.. Philip decides to let the pair depart on a shuttle without interference.. He expects that they’ll run straight to the Resistance, and then he will use the shuttle’s homing beacon to track them and put an end to the Resistance personally.. Philip orders all skyfighters recalled to protect the Mothership, while Diana offers to provide a suitable escort / guard for Philip and knows the perfect choice.. Mike and the others make it to an abandoned warehouse after a chase through the city streets.. Once inside, Willie apologizes for the situation, believing that it was his fault… Despite Mike and Kyle’s reassurances to the contrary, Willie still feels alone and cast out.. He wishes for Elizabeth, knowing she would understand him better, and is reminded that both she and Juliet are at a scientific research station in the north.. Insisting that Philip take a body guard on his mission, she takes him down to the Mothership gymnasium just in time to see a Visitor named Angela, in the middle of sparring, disable a larger Visitor attacker.. Angela defeats a male twice her size and is about to finish him off, but Philip stops her from continuing the fight when her opponent is down.. Angela attacks Phillip and he counters, showing his skills as a combat master.. Apparently the two are no strangers – Philip was Angela’s combat master at the Academy.. Philip comments that Angela still takes pleasure in inflicting pain, and Angela retorts that Philip still cares about the weak and the beaten.. Philip doesn’t like the prospect of Angela assisting him, but agrees to accept Angela as his escort.. When Philip leaves, Angela reveals to Diana that Philip was her combat trainer at the academy.. Angela explains her contempt for their commanding officer: After killing a fellow cadet while in training, Philip had Angela retired.. His decision destroyed any chance she had to become an officer, and she hates him for it.. Diana invites Angela to her quarters to discuss the situation.. Once there, Diana suggests that if Philip weren’t alive, she could give Angela a battlefield commission right away.. Playing along, Angela admits it wouldn’t be easy – Philip is a combat master after all.. Diana theorizes that when Philip meets Mike, the two will fight and of course Philip will win, but that’s when Angela can strike and put the blame on Mike Donovan.. Walking outside the warehouse, Kyle and Mike discuss ways to ease Willie’s anguish.. While they are talking, they see a damaged shuttle coming in for a crash landing.. They head to the site, to discover Robert and Glenda emerging from the vehicle.. Robert identifies himself and informs them that he set Diana’s explosives as soon as he realized that she had set up a trap for the Resistance.. Kyle and Mike agree to take Robert and Glenda to the warehouse.. Philip and Angela later arrive at the location of the downed shuttle, along with some shock troopers.. Using infra glasses, Philip is able to track their prey’s invisible footsteps on the concrete, and they begin following..Philip and Angela engage in some verbal sparring, barely hiding their contempt for each other.. Angela mentions rumors that Martin was a Fifth Columnist, and Philip adamantly insists they are lies. Philip plans to kill Donovan, the man he thinks murdered his brother.. He’ll then leave the rest of the Resistance to Angela to deal with as she pleases.. At the warehouse, Robert realizes that Glenda is about to give birth.. They tell Willie that their child will need a ‘ wantu ‘ – similar to a Godfather or role model.. Willie suggests Mike, but Robert and Glenda tell him that they want Willie to be their wantu.. Willie is thrilled.. While Kyle stands watch at the warehouse receiving doors, Mike helps to deliver Glenda’s … egg.. Stunned, he follows Willie’s instructions and takes the egg to a nearby table, where he and Willie help the shell to break.. The child is born, and Kyle returns to the group to toast the occasion with some canteen water.. Aboard the Mothership, Diana invites Lydia to her quarters and manipulates the idea of Philip’s death in her head.. Entranced by the idea, Lydia orders Diana to make sure that there be no survivors when Philip and Mike fight.. The Leader will believe that Philip was killed by the Resistance, and Lydia will take command.. Diana agrees to relay the orders to Angela, but Lydia doesn’t know that the conversion – and her order – have been secretly recorded by Diana.. When Kyle heads back to the loading doors, he sees Philip and his troops arrive.. He calls Mike, who believes he is seeing Martin.. Mike takes a step outside, only to have Philip fire at him.. Mike is confused by the Martin look – alike, considering how Diana killed his friend long ago.. But Robert identifies Philip as Martin’s brother and explains that, as a warrior – turned – jurist and a pacifist, Philip was supposed to be their greatest hope for peace.. Angela orders some laser jeeps to the warehouse, but Philip refuses to let them fire because they could destroy the crystals, and because he says he wants to kill Mike with his bare hands.. Philip is consistently appalled by Angela’s thirst for killing.. Willie remains in the back room with Glenda and the baby, who is fearful for her child’s future.. Willie attempts to explain ‘ faith ‘ to Glenda, and they discuss their hopes for the future.. The Visitors mount their attack, and one trooper almost makes it into the warehouse.. Mike and Kyle return fire, and Kyle is shot in the shoulder and knocked backwards.. As he struggles to maintain his footing, he is shot again in the leg.. Mike finally manages to kill the Visitors attacking Kyle, and drags Kyle back into safety.. Mike kills the trooper at one laser jeep, but another arrives.. Trapped in the warehouse, the group prepares to fight.. Robert panics, thinking that his child is going to be killed, and runs out to surrender with the beryllium crystals and Angela shoots him in the arm before Philip angrily stops her.. He watches in bewilderment as Mike risks his life to drag Robert to safety into the warehouse, where he patches up his wound, but the crystals are left behind for Philip to retrieve.. Just then, Philip shouts out to Mike that he is there to kill Mike for killing his brother.. Since there is no other exit from the warehouse, Willie takes Glenda and her baby son to the back room and attempts to make them comfortable.. Realizing that the baby is hungry, Willie searches for and finds a mouse to feed to the child.. The Visitors and Resistance continue to exchange gunfire.. Lydia, meanwhile, checks in on Diana, who assures her that Angela requested the mission and the Lydia’s orders to kill Philip are being carried out.. The shooting briefly stops as both sides regroup.. Angela tries to tempt Philip into killing Donovan, but Philip is getting more and more disgusted with Angela’s lust for blood.. As Philip prepares to rush the building, he orders Angela to prepare for an attack, but orders her and the troops not to harm the child, as he doesn’t make war on children.. Furthermore, he reminds her that Donovan is to be left for him.. In the ensuing fire fight, Kyle is shot in the arm and leg.. Philip calls Donovan out, challenging him to unarmed combat.. Mike agrees to the combat, as long as everyone in the warehouse gets to go free if he wins.. Philip agrees, and orders Angela to obey his order if he is killed.. Mike and Philip begin their combat, during which Mike tries to convince Philip that Martin was his friend and that Diana had killed his brother.. Philip refuses to believe Mike and grabs a pipe, but Mike manages to get it away from him and hits Philip several times, knocking him to the concrete.. He has Philip at a disadvantage, but refuses to kill him, and instead helps him up.. Seeing the sudden truce, Angela then pulls her weapon and reveals Diana’s plan, Diana’s role in Martin’s death, as well as her own hopes for revenge against Philip for the destruction of her people.. Philip asks for Mike’s forgiveness.. As Angela is about to pull the trigger on them both, she is downed by a shot from behind her.. Glenda has emerged from the warehouse to protect her child.. Mike and Philip shakes hands, and Philip destroys the borellium crystals.. In the back of the warehouse, Robert and Glenda wait for Philip’s shuttle which is going to take them to a South Pacific island away from Diana’s revenge.. Willie prepares a bath of motor oil and rock salt for the baby, while Robert thanks Mike and Kyle ( Whose wounds are bandaged and who appears to be recovering ) for everything they have done.. Aboard the Mothership, Diana and Lydia wait for Philip’s shuttle to arrive, which they assume will be carrying Philip’s body and Angela.. Diana has Lydia arrested, and plays the tape she had made of Lydia ordering the assassination of Philip.. Both are shocked to see Philip walking calmly across the shuttle bay.. He reveals that Angela had died when she got in the way of his shot at Donovan, and announces that he will be staying around.. Blooper Details: During the raid on the Mentamorph, Kyle throws a grenade at a laser jeep.. As he throws the grenade, two Visitors are shown being blown by the blast – one to the right and one to the left.. However, after the grenade is thrown, both Visitors are shown being thrown out the right side of the jeep.. During Angela’s fight in the gymnasium, one of her kicks to her Visitor opponent obviously does not connect.. All shuttle footage seen is stock footage from the miniseries.. Angela states that she was found by Philip as an orphan on Andromeda’s moon, and that the Visitors destroyed her people.. So she is therefore not a Visitor, yet has all their attributes including their diet of small rodents.. Robert and Glenda arrive on Earth in Visitor uniforms, but the next time we see them at the warehouse they are wearing Earth clothes.. Why was Robert’s shuttle damaged and crashed when Philip specifically ordered the Visitors not to attack it, so as not to damage the borellium crystals? Why wasn’t Philip’s pseudo – skin damaged after being hit repeatedly by Donovan’s metal club? Trivia: Elizabeth and Julie do not appear in this episode, and it is mentioned that they are ” up north at the research center..” Robert is the Fifth Columnist who unwittingly provided the false information about the Mentamorph to Willie.. Angela was found by Philip on Andromeda’s moon.. Revealing her adversarial relationship with Philip, she suggested that he should have killed her when his armies killed the rest of her people.. Later, she remarks that her ” tribe will finally have revenge “ as she is about the shoot Philip.. Glenda exhibits the characteristic green discoloration around the neck of a pregnant Visitor female ( As Robin did in The Final Battle ).. Willie makes an impromptu bath of rock salt and motor oil for the Visitor baby and explains that ” it’s very soothing and good for the scales..” Quotes: ( Angela and Philip discuss Martin ): ( Willie explains ‘ faith ‘ to Glenda ): ( Quote from Robert ):” The Littlest Dragon..”
