[edit] Summary

Knocked unconscious during a cave-in, John's mind and body are possessed by an alien warrior's spirit. The alien is determined to return to his homeworld, and uses John's body and leadership to direct repairs to the spaceship and synthesize fuel. When the rest of the Robinsons become suspicious of John's unusual behavior, he seals them up in the cave, and plots to throw Will off a cliff. Will exorcises the spirit through the power of his love for his father.

[edit] Background Information

  • This episode is the last to be filmed in black and white.

  • During the fight in the cave between Professor Robinson and Major West, West's sword is pulled away by Professor Robinson's weapon. In the next shot it reappears in Major West's hand.
  • When Professor Robinson is walking into the Jupiter 2 campsite wearing the alien uniform, his shadow appears on the background.
