Recap and Discussion for Crusade - episode 56 - The Well of Forever
Recap and discussion for Crusade – Episode 6 – The Well of Forever
We begin with Mr. Jones coming to check on Matheson for the Bureau of Telepath Integration. John tells Gideon that all of them are called Mr. Jones. He says that Mr. Jones will do a deep scan to deter mine if he is upholding telepath rules for military officers. Gideon doesn’t like it.
Galen pops in and asks them to go to a place called the Well of Forever in hyperspace but he will not tell them why. Gideon agrees. Galen says he will link his nav system to the Excalibur because while he has a better nav system, they have more power. Gideon agrees but mostly because he hopes it’ll give them a chance to nose around Galen’s ship’s computer systems. Galen doesn’t exactly tell them why he wants to go there.
Dureenaand Gideon play poker and tells Gideon she thinks Galen isn’t telling them everything.
Mr. Jones tells Matheson that he sees the Well of Forever information. John protests, saying that is mission information and Mr. Jones has no right to it. Jones tells him he can do whatever he wants since Joh has a few small violations.
Galen visits Dureena and tells her the Well is a spiritual place and her questions will be answered. All she has to do is ask the right question. He says we all have: something to hide, something to tell, a secret name, a question that unlock our heart. She asks “What is your question?” He says “Why?”
Then we meet the fen – the less said the better.
They reach their destination and there’s nothing there. Gideon is annoyed and they go back and forth until Galen tells him that he has actual control of the ship, which really pissed Gideon off.
Jones asks to talk to Gideon. He tells him that Matheson has some small breeches and that he is going to have him recalled. He says he is answerable to the Senate because he is held to a higher standard. Gideon says that sounds dangerously like discrimination to him. Jones tells him you cannot fight what is.
Gideon asks John if he’d like to go outside and John says it isn’t allowed.
They are there. Into a ‘thing’ and beautiful twist of rock with an atmosphere. Gideon turns around and Galen is gone. Gideon follows him, telling Matheson to keep Max there. Max is drooling over the ‘treasures’.
Galen has a necklace with a disk on it. He puts it on. Gideon lands.
Max says the stuff down there is worth a fortune.
Dureena tells him that it’s a mausoleum: a place of memory, glory and goodbyes. Max calls it the find of a lifetime.
Galen takes the necklace off and Gideon asks him what’s going on. Galen says her name was Isobelle and she was the best of the order. “Every technomage knows the fourteen words that will make someone fall in love with you forever, but she only needed one….Hello.” He said she had dedicated herself to finding the Well of Forever and he brought her here to rest. He opens the vial and sets her free.
Max and Dureena are arguing over Max wanting to move the whole thing.
Gideon calls Dureena and asks her for a favor for John.
Dureena gets on the bullet car with Mr. Jones and then he runs to Gideon and says that somene is about to explode a bomb… Gideon does a gotcha and tells Jones he won’t tell about the illegal scan and that Jones will leave John alone.
John gets a note about celebrating – he goes out into space.
Galen asks if he should come back and Gideon says he’s still mad but they agree to let it go. Galen says he will never again betray Gideon’s trust now that his promise is fulfilled. Gideon says he made a promise like that times 300 but hasn’t yet fulfilled it. Galen tells him that then perhaps they will forgive themselves for being alive.
He tells Dureena that they got their answers. Max found there was something he couldn’t have – as we see his files being destroyed by something that looks technomagic. Matheson would have gotten his answers had he gone down to the place. Gideon got his answer but he wasn’t listening.
“What about me? She asks. He says you shouldn’t talk on an open channel. You got your answer about someone who does something not for profit or greed.
Did you find your answer? That might take a little longer, Galen says.

Questions:
1. Did the new Bureau of Telepath Integration sound very different than Psi Corps? Didn’t Jones even remind you of PsiCops?
2. Any speculation on Gideon’s question?
3. What did you think of the fen?
4. Do you think Galen was any more at fault than Gideon?
