Someone is stealing chemicals all over Eureka – from the pharmacy, from the dry cleaner, even from moon rock samples at General Dynamics. Along with mutating rocks and exploding dry cleaners, Carter discovers that the missing compounds can be used to create an invisibility formula – a formula that would violate an international treaty. Suspicion briefly falls on the dry cleaner, a former researcher with whom Carter has developed a friendship, but soon turns to an ex-CIA agent who also worked on the project. Of course, finding an invisible man poses problems. Finding solutions becomes urgent when the formula – which contains radioactive compounds – gets into a cut on Carter’s hand. First he disappears from view, but without a cure, he’ll be gone for good.

Carter searches for a link between a number of strange events: Zoe and her friends have suddenly been struck mute. The water in a fish tank turns red. Allison’s skin begins to glow. He finds one connection in the glass near each incident – something has melted a small hole in the windows and the tank. When the usually-sparsely-populated church begins to fill up with people, Carter suspects another possible connection: perhaps the minister, a former scientist, has decide to give the town some extra incentive to fill the pews on Sunday. This theory meets with considerable skepticism from just about every, but Carter knows he has to pursue something: Allison’s condition is killing her, and Stark is almost out of ideas. As Stark tries one last desperate plan, Carter learns that a search for spiritual truth is indeed causing the strange events– but not the one that he suspected. And Henry may be the only person who can understand the desperation behind it all.

Carter searches for the scientist who maintains Eureka’s elaborate climate control system. Soon after his first trip into the tunnels, every woman he comes in contact with makes a pass at him. The attention may be flattering, but it’s also disruptive – on the job and in his budding relationship with Callie – and if a similar situation in Taggart’s lab is any indication, likely to lead to violence. As Henry tries to help Carter and keep Eureka from blowing apart at the seams, he also has to deal with Allison and Stark. In their haste to finish their artifact-related research before Carter’s investigation of Kim’s death brings the DoD breathing down their necks, they decide to shut Henry out from Kim’s lab.

LogBook entry by Dave Thomer

When the school year begins anew, Maria Jackson returns to class with Luke, the alien boy adopted by Sarah Jane, and their new friend Clyde. But something’s just not right at their school – a foul smell pervades the entire campus, lunch is moldy, and the flatulent faculty simply tell the offended students to “pick out the bad bits”. Worse yet, Clyde quickly discovers that bringing a packed lunch simply isn’t an option. When Luke demonstrates an aptitude for science, his science teacher begins to pick his brain for solutions to a massive electrical system that, while it’s well beyond current human technology, has a fatal flaw. Sarah begins to investigate the company that constructed the school’s new technology center, and sends Maria and Luke to look it over for themselves – where they find a plot to destroy the Earth.

Season 1 Regular Cast: Elisabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith), Yasmin Paige (Maria Jackson), Tommy Knight (Luke), Daniel Anthony (Clyde)

written by Gareth Roberts
directed by Alice Troughton
music by Sam Watts / title music by Murray Gold

Guest Cast: Joseph Millson (Alan Jackson), Juliet Cowan (Chrissie Jackson), Alexander Armstrong (Mr. Smith), Martyn Ellis (Blakeman), Ian Midlane (Jeffrey), Pamela Merrick (Wendy), Imogen Bain (Janine), Anton Thompson McCormick (Carl), Jimmy Vee (Carl Slitheen), Paul Kasey (Jeffrey / Blakeman / Janine Slitheen)

Notes: Alice Troughton, who is still no relation to second Doctor Patrick Troughton, is the first director to helm episodes of the new Doctor Who as well as Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures. Although Mr. Smith is an otherworldly computer, it appears to rely on completely earthly power sources. Lachelle Carl has played an American newscaster on numerous occasions in Doctor Who, including – ironically – Aliens Of London, the first appearance of the Slitheen. The character of Kelsey, from Invasion Of The Bane, was replaced in the weekly series by Clyde.

After extricating herself from the Slitheen trap, Sarah rescues the children – and is appalled to find that Clyde has learned of the Slitheen’s presence and her own brand of special investigations. With the help of her computer, Mr. Smith, Sarah finds out more about the Slitheen and their plan to bring Earth to its knees. But when Luke sees the blueprint for a worldwide Slitheen power network, he realizes that his exceptional work on a science assignment has put the human race in jeopardy. The Slitheen put their plan into motion, plunging much of the world into darkness, and even independently-powered devices like cars and Sarah’s sonic lipstick won’t work. Armed with determination and no small amount of vinegar, Sarah and her friends take off at a run to save the world.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Café Diem is at the end of the rainbow, as a statue outside the restaurant – and many of the fixtures in it – turn to gold. A problem of avarice becomes a matter of stability when the gold objects begin to rust away and decompose – including the metals that shore up walls and ceilings in Global Dynamics. Carter’s investigation leads through the statue’s creator to Zoe’s boyfriend and his unintended incurring of the alchemist’s curse.

Henry tries to help out Carter, but he has his own issues with being shut out of his lab. As Allison worries with Stark over Carter’s pursuit of the case, Stark reveals the lengths he’s gone to in order to solve the mystery of Kevin’s link to the artifact. First he had Beverly sent to Guantanamo for her role in the accident – and now he’s had her brought back to Eureka.

LogBook entry by Dave Thomer

With the city roaring through deep space after its escape from the ocean planet, Rodney races to shut down systems that aren’t helping Atlantis during flight – but are draining its power. The city’s new chief medical officer, Dr. Jennifer Keller, is fighting to save the life of Dr. Weir, critically injured during the city’s takeoff, but it quickly becomes clear that even if she’s kept alive, Dr. Weir may never be the same again. The Atlantis expedition and its commander are lost in deep space – and with an asteroid belt in the way and the city losing drive power, deep trouble too. Running out of medical solutions, Dr. Keller comes up with an idea to reactivate the nanites left in Weir’s body by the replicators, and Rodney thinks he can reprogram them to repair her injuries – but Sheppard refuses to okay the plan, worried that the replicators will be able to track the crippled city by detecting the nanites. Rodney and Keller implement the plan anyway, but even Weir herself isn’t thrilled with the results. And at the Midway space station connecting the Milky Way and Pegasus stargate networks, Colonel Samantha Carter receives word that contact has been lost with Atlantis. With Dr. Lee of the SGC, also at Midway, she begins trying to locate the wayward city…

Season 4 Regular Cast: Joe Flanigan (Major John Sheppard), Amanda Tapping (Colonel Samantha Carter), Rachel Luttrell (Teyla), Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex), David Hewlett (Dr. Rodney McKay)

Notes: Rodney mentions that he was terrible at the video game Asteroids; obviously he can’t access Phosphor Dot Fossils from the Pegasus Galaxy, we would’ve been happy to help. Yee Jee Tso, the actor portraying the technician who alerts Sheppard to the asteroid belt, is best known in SF circles for his one-off stint as Chang Lee, one of the eighth Doctor Who’s only TV companions.
