WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Captain Eris tells Jhirl about his mother, the spaceship, and they grow close. Particularly their faces.
413535
D'Branin keeps having scary visions of his daughter, Skye.
413537
Surprise, D'Branin! There's a probe that should be in deep space humming and glowing in your quarters.
413539
Another mother "malfunction" puts a crew member into cold storage in the cargo hold. And Thale can feel his fear and trauma as he dies.
413540
D'Branin, Rowan and Lommie investigate the probe. D'Branin thinks that it's alien contact -- that the Volcryn sent it back to them.
413542
Thale leads Eris and Matheson to the dead crew member.
413544
He was frozen solid. Eris accidently knocks off his lower jaw, which shatters. Gross.
413546
Eris discovers the probe in D'Branin's room and tells them that he wants to shut it down because his mother wants the probe off of the ship. They convince him to let them investigate it for one day. It could be alien communication!

OK - this is weird. The probe has organic material in it and is now bleeding. And weirdest of all, the blood sample is a match with D'Branin.
413551
Captain Eris is spending way too much time talking to the Nightflyer ship/mother in his head and slapping himself. Not the demeanor one really wants in a deep space captain.
413554
Lommie defies Rowan's warnings and plugs the port from the space probe into her arm. She has an overwhelming and complex vision. And Thale seems to share the experience.
413558
Then she comes to and says that the probe is dying. It leaks a lot of blood. Man, it's gross to see inanimate technology bleed.
413561
Matheson accessed a memory of her and D'Branin after they broke up. Mother ship observes it and serves up a horrifying image of a pregnant Matheson to D'Branin. He discusses the vision with the real Matheson and learns that she was, in fact, pregnant after their break up and chose not to have the baby. It's a touching moment, and seems to bring them closer.
413567
Lommie shares her vision with D'Branin. One detail: The probe had only been gone a month, but she uncovered recordings of a thousand years of data.
