5. Running time: 44 minutes 16 seconds
6. Plot
7. The automatic captions supplied with the rights holder's YouTube upload begin at the start of the episode, with the opening scene setting up the situation aboard Moya before the crew's main confrontation of the hour.
8. Tensions between the crew members surface as the plan to resolve the situation takes shape, and the writing in the captions records the back-and-forth that drives those scenes.
9. According to YouTube automatic captions, a turning point comes when an internal dispute aboard Moya is interrupted or overtaken by an outside development, shifting the balance of the episode's conflict.
10. Because the captions are an automatic transcription of the spoken soundtrack, the written character and place names occasionally reflect the recogniser's reading rather than the on-screen spellings, and the descriptions above are drawn from those transcribed exchanges rather than from any separately published script.
11. Memorable quotes
12. I'm afraid I can't cure you.
13. You'll tell me now, or you'll tell me later. I'm told it's a terrible death.
