The national syndication window opens for the 22nd episode of the posthumous Gene Roddenberry science fiction series Earth: Final Conflict, bringing the series’ first season to a close. (Though the 21st to air, the show’s distributor, Tribune Entertainment, is holding the 20th episode back to air during the July ratings sweeps.) The marks the final regular appearance of series star Kevin Kilner, who would be replaced in the upcoming second season; he would later make a few guest appearances in the fifth season. 
Though they don’t realize it, the crew of a seagoing salvage ship have discovered more evidence of alien visitors that predate the recent arrival of the Taelons. When a member of the crew tries to steal the alien artifact for his own financial gain, the artifact is activated, kills him, and inhabits his body. Da’an is instantly aware of the alien presence and puts Boone and Sandoval on alert. The alien Ha’gel has come with a warning about what the Taelons do to those less developed races to whom they become Companions – but his own actions are proving lethal to the same race he has come to help.
