Whoa boy! Hold on to your hats on this one because the plot twists come in fast and furious. Nestove has discovered that Zin now has a weapon that can be used to kill Cole, not just incapacitate him. Cole decides he'd better get it before Zin has another chance to use it on him and heads for Zin's offices. He has Nestove come with him, Nestove has safecracking skills that may be needed.

They succeed and come back to the bar with Nestove carrying the weapon. Not a good move. Nestove uses it on low power to incapacitate Cole and then ties him up. When Mel comes upstairs, he ties her up too and goes down to wait for Zin. (While he's waiting he decides to do his own dancing on the bar routine which doesn't impress Zin.)

Zin is in a hurry to get into the depths below the Watchfire where the item he's been searching for since he arrived is hidden. His men break through and Zin goes down to claim his prize.

Meanwhile, Cole and Mel have managed to break loose but Cole is still far too weak to go after Zin's men and Nestove, who seems to be one of them.

He hands the collector to Mel. She is angry about the betrayal and he notices that she can make it function. He thought he saw something like that when they went after the aliens in London, but didn't follow through. The penny drops and he explains that she must be part Cirronian. (BTW, this was always part of the show, right from the first information posted on the "Official" TrackerTV.com website)

He gently talks her through helping him to re-energize and they go downstairs. (This is really well done. AP gets quieter and quieter and teaches her to reach for the energy within herself.) Zin's two men are down there waiting for him to get back, and both of them are collected, one by Cole and the other, with a certain amount of satisfaction, by Mel.

Cole, a little nervous, figures out how to use the transfer and arrives just in time to stop Zin. They fight, and Cole manages to throw Zin through the vault doors and lock him in.

Mel would still like to collect Nestove (I tend to agree with her) but Cole wants to take care of the weapon first and they go off leaving Nestove to take care of the bar. Cole isn't foolish, though. He's locked the War room...
