Kevin and Rob dodge oddly insistent questions about what it's like to kill a person in order to discuss the relative merits of "What is Starfleet?" (SNW). Inspired by this episode's "space dragon", they revisit a couple of other giant space creatures of episodes past, in "Datalore" and "Silicon Avatar" (TNG), and "Tin Man" (TNG).

Rob and Kev record their entire conversation about "The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail" (SNW) over copper wires with pink telephone receivers. They then visit two previous uses of "ancient" technology in Trek adventures, "Spectre of the Gun" (TOS) and "Vis à Vis" (VOY).

Kev and Rob are possessed by two entirely different manifestations of pure evil and have a knock-down, drag-out fistfight in sickbay over the slightly confusing but gratifyingly adventurous events of "Through the Lens of Time" (SNW). Having regained their senses, they investigate other instances of body possession in "Return to Tomorrow" (TOS), "Power Play" (TNG), and "Tears of the Prophets" (DS9).

Rob and Kev sneak onto a Holodeck that shouldn't be invented for eighty years or so to question characters playing parodies of past podcast hosts you might recognize. Also they talk about "A Space Adventure Hour" (SNW). Inspired by its surprise appearance in this era, they return to holodeck episodes past for a second time, reflecting on "The Big Goodbye" (TNG), "Hollow Pursuits" (TNG), "Fair Haven" (VOY) and "Spirit Folk" (VOY).

Kev and Rob creep through a suspiciously silent science lab to discuss "Shuttle to Kenfori" (SNW), and agree that it wasn't the scariest episode of Star Trek ever. After all, there was "Conspiracy" (TNG) and "Empok Nor" (DS9). To shake off the scares, they take a few minutes to discuss Jim Henson's Creature Shop coming to a starship bridge near you.

Rob and Kev are back to visit Strange New Worlds, some of which look suspiciously like episodes of a TV show from the 60s. After sharing highlights from "Hegemony, Part II" and "Wedding Bell Blues", they pull up a stool and talk about their favourite bartenders … one of whom you probably can't guess!

Kev and Rob beat around the bush a bit before discussing some of the brights spots in "Star Trek: Section 31", which was otherwise a not very good Star Trek movie. They take the opportunity to discuss moles – what does or does not quality as a mole – and revisit some Deep Space Nine highlights including the abduction and replacement of Julian Bashir, "Homefront" (DS9) and "Paradise Lost" (DS9), and "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" (DS9).
