The national syndication window opens for the ninth episode of the posthumous Gene Roddenberry science fiction series Earth: Final Conflict. 
When the Companions shut down a research project investigating early breeds of the sentient Taelon Skrill weapons, the lead researcher is vastly disappointed – but when one of the Skrills bonds with him and begins to alter his thought processes to preserve its own life, Boone tries to track him down. However, the Taelons have also sent Sandoval to find the fugitive researcher with orders to kill him before he can learn any more about the living weapon.
