While Sarah investigates reports of sightings of a ghostly nun at a rest home, an elderly woman gives Luke a talisman and begs him to keep it a secret, instructing him not to “give it to her. Sarah goes to meet the woman, discovering that she knows a surprising amount about alien races – and she is still terrified by the very mention of one of those aliens: the Gorgon. After the talisman is identified as alien technology, a nun comes calling to get the talisman from Luke. He and Clyde refuse to hand it over, and are kidnapped and taken to the nuns’ abbey.

Guest Cast: Joseph Millson (Alan Jackson), Juliet Cowan (Chrissie Jackson), Alexander Armstrong (Mr. Smith), Phyllida Law (Bea Nelson-Stanley), Sarah Crowden (Mrs. Gribbins), Doreen Mantle (Mrs. Randall), Beth Goddard (Sister Helena), Audrey Ardington (The Abbess)

Notes: Bea has apparently met the Sontarans, as has Sarah; Sarah’s first encounter with the third Doctor coincided with a trapped Sontaran’s attempts to escape medieval Earth (Doctor Who: The Time Warrior), and she encountered another Sontaran in the distant future of Earth, shortly after the Doctor’s regeneration (The Sontaran Experiment). After this episode aired, the BBC announced that the Sontarans would make a comeback in the new Doctor Who’s fourth season.

Henry, Beverly, Allison and Kevin are locked in the director’s office at Global Dynamics – which has now become a bunker miles below the rest of the labs. Henry and Beverly want to use an experimental matter reconstruction device to attempt to separate Kevin from the energy field he has been linked to since the accident. The rest of the building has been evacuated and the automatic security systems engaged because the biohazard systems have detected a mutated form of the bacteria that caused the metal decomposition. The military is quite insistent that if the biohazard is not contained, Eureka will be evacuated and Global Dynamics eradicated. Carter and Stark decide to return to the building to try to save Kevin and Allison, while Fargo tries to run interference from a computer station hidden within SARAH. When Carter and Stark find a group of employees hiding unharmed in the morgue, they realize that the biohazard was a hoax by Henry. Unfortunately, that won’t stop the building’s automatic systems from viewing them as invaders, nor will it stop the military from following its protocols. And if Stark can’t reach the bunker in time, Henry’s efforts to save Kevin may be all for naught.

LogBook entry by Dave Thomer

With Atlantis a safe distance away from the homeworld of the Replicators, Rodney modifies a jumper for hyperdrive, and with Sheppard, Dex and the miraculously revived Dr. Weir, goes on a mission to steal a fresh ZPM for Atlantis. With Replicator nanites – reprogrammed by Rodney – keeping her alive, Weir now has a unique connection with the Replicators’ entire city that proves to be a strategic advantage. But when Oberoth detects a new presence interfering with his fellow Replicators, he personally intervenes, eventually breaking through Rodney’s countermeasures. If Weir’s team is to make it out alive, she may have to make a supreme sacrifice – and Sheppard isn’t sure if her survival might not be worse than her death.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Atlantis is still in hiding, the crew making cautious explorations into their new surroundings but keeping their point of origin a secret. In the absence of Dr. Weir, Rodney puts in for her job, but is both disappointed and alarmed when the SGC promotes Samantha Carter to full colonel and gives her command of the Atlantis expedition. When Ronon runs into some old friends from Sateda on a nearby world, Colonel Carter has to remind him sternly not to reveal where or with whom he is affiliated. But it seems his friends already know – in fact, they know much more than they should. But have they just done their homework to track Ronon down to ask for his help on one last adventure…or are they trying to trap him for someone else?

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Luke wonders why so many forms of entertainment on Earth are somehow tied into war, so he tags along with Clyde to a new laser tag arena – an arena that happens to be at the heart of Sarah’s latest investigation. Several teenagers have gone missing during visits to this chain of laser tag centers, all of which are owned by a mysterious Mr. Kudlak. Mr. Grantham, operator of the arena visited by Luke and Clyde, is impressed by Luke’s seemingly superhuman skill at the game – and reports this to his boss, who suggests keeping a careful eye on the boys. But as they discover, there’s no prize for being good at this game – unless you count being teleported somewhere far away from home.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Luke and Clyde find themselves, along with other laser tag winners, as captives of General Kudlak, who is abducting the most capable laser tag players from Earth to serve as soldiers on behalf of his insectoid species, which is locked in a seemingly endless war. When Sarah discovers where Luke and Clyde have been sent, and why, she’s outraged and demands that Grantham teleport her to Kudlak’s warship in Earth orbit. She confronts the General about the abductions, but neither of them know that Luke and Clyde are already staging their own escape attempt.

Notes: Sarah says that she never thought she’d see the Earth from space again – a statement which could apply equally to her travels with the Doctor, or to the unresolved cliffhanger of the Sarah Jane Smith audio series from Big Finish, which left her character in orbit with no apparent means of escape.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

After experiencing an eerie sensation while hanging out with Luke, Maria, Clyde and Maria’s dad at the park, Sarah is reminded of an odd alien puzzle box that came into her possession. When she received it, she was told to give it to the person she trusts the most – and so she now gives it to Maria. She also lets Maria and Clyde in on a little secret: a large meteor is headed for Earth, and a collision would meant the end of all life on the planet…but Mr. Smith will harmlessly deflect it, without drawing any attention from the authorities. The next day, when Maria drops by Sarah’s house, Sarah isn’t there, there’s no sign of Luke, and suddenly Clyde has no idea who she is. Even Maria’s dad doesn’t remember Sarah. Sarah’s house is occupied by a woman named Andrea Yates, and there’s no evidence of any of their adventures together. When Maria tries to prove to her dad that Sarah Jane existed, she finds nothing but an obituary dated 1964 – involving a girl who died after falling off a pier during a school trip, witnessed only by a fellow schoolgirl named Andrea Yates. Something has happened to change history – and now Sarah and Mr. Smith aren’t there to save the world.
