Episode 9 - Eve Ate the AppleEntranced by a haunting song, the Antares crew is inexorably drawn to storage Pod 4 where the otherworldly Beta object revolves in an astonishing fractal dance. In Mission Control, Ajay and Arnel also see the strange object for the first time as Goss announces that they are now all sworn to secrecy about the real nature of the space mission. Ted struggles to take in the fact that Eve has known the truth all along. Eve recounts her long-ago experience as a young archeologist in Peru, when the Beta object was first uncovered from deep in the Earth, rising to meet her with a sound only she could hear. Meanwhile, Paula is shaken to the core of her religious convictions, Rollie confesses to Jen that he was also in on the secret of Beta, and Wassenfelder is delighted to learn the revealed language of the universe.

In flashbacks to the Ascan training process, Rollie helps Jen overcome her fear of the sensory deprivation tank, while the normally composed Nadia fights her own issues with the isolation experience. Donner tries desperately to perfect the planetary landing, driven by his terror of repeating the Mars disaster and the fear of losing Zoe.
