==Plot==
A meteorite lands on the Moon following an abortive UFO attack, and the [[S.H.A.D.O. MoonBase|Moonbase]]'s video and radio links with [[S.H.A.D.O.|SHADO]] fail. [[Paul Foster|Foster]] suspects that [[Dalotek]], a private mining company with a nearby base whose operations are opposed by [[Edward Straker|Straker]], may have accidentally been using the SHADO frequency, but, even after a further black-out in which a module crashes fatally, Dalotek is ultimately exonerated. Foster has hit it off with [[Jane Carson]], Dalotek's glamorous communications officer, but Dalotek staff are subjected to amnesia treatment to make them forget the incident so that, when she meets Foster a year later, she does not recognise him.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0735626 IMDB entry]</ref>

====Continuity====
* Paul Foster's hair grows a noticeable length on his forehead between the time he talks to Dr. Reed in the command module and then to Jane Carson in the leisure module. '''Maybe he brushed it forward for some reason?'''

<nowiki>*</nowiki>In contrast to the usually immaculate lighting and camera work seen when filming models, during the establishing shots of the Moonbase exterior seen during the episode title credits, the shadow of someone walking next to the model of the moon surface during the “Produced by REG HILL” credit. The shadow falls briefly across both the Moonbase buildings and across the lunar surface.
