What happens

Captain Bradford's party, including Tex and Jerry, is rescued after a rocket plane test flight forces them down into water near the Euclidean city of Euclidean. Back in their quarters, the group talks about the crash and the Euclidean reliance on instruments. Joan reports that the Euclidean guards are being withdrawn and that a Euclidean submarine commander, Elaine Raleigh, is joining them as a prisoner, having helped them escape earlier. Elaine arrives, drops her formal Euclidean manner of speech, and is welcomed into the household. The evening ends with a shared meal and the family's friendly acceptance of her.

The Gregory party's quarters in the Euclidean city of Euclidean, after the rescue from the water.

Listen for: Joan explaining that the guards have been removed and that the Euclidean commander is coming to share their quarters, and Elaine's first conversation with the group.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
