When Andromeda comes across a battle between the Than and a rogue Nietzschean Pride Dylan wants to help them come to a peaceful resolution. The Than stand down but the Nietzscheans fire on Andromeda. Dylan orders a return of fire then they agree to discussions; Try advises that it is certainly a trap so offers to go instead. Dylan is unsure if he can trust Tyr but he argues that this Pride betrayed his own so he would never side with them. It turns out he was right that they couldn't be trusted but when he meets a Nietzschean woman who wants to bear his children it looks as if he could be about to switch sides. Meanwhile back on Andromeda Dylan ponders his dealings with his Nietzschean first officer, and best friend, who betrayed him before.
This episode is very much focused on Tyr and whether he can be trusted; this is handled well as it is often hard to tell who he is playing and who he is being honest with. Keith Hamilton Cobb does a fine job in the role as he keeps his character somewhat ambiguous. Just as importantly we learn more about the Nietzscheans; we see that rather than being a unified race; they are made up of rival prides. We also see that passing on their genes is the most important thing for them. Away from the main story we get an amusing introductory scene where Rommie quizzes Harper on why he gave her an unnecessarily perfect body! Overall a solid episode with great character development for Tyr, some impressive action and a good level of threat.
