Today we cover Season 1, Episode 12 - The Red Room
Directed by Chuck Bowman
Written by Steven Long Mitchell & Craig Van Sickle
Original air date December 18, 1989
Plot Summary: George and Sikes investigate a series of murders, but are removed from the case when the FBI becomes involved and claims jurisdiction. "Project Dart" is discussed and the words have a powerful impact on George, who is haunted by the dim recollections of something horrible. Through hypnosis, he reveals that while in quarantine after the Newcomers landed on Earth, he and a group of fellow Tenctonese were brainwashed by the United States government to be made into perfect killing machines. The "programming" didn't work on George, who had an ethical imprint they couldn't not penetrate, but one of those machines has decided now to fight back against the people pulling the strings, exterminating them one by one.
While all this is going on, Sikes tries to avoid a mandatory psychological examination because he doesn't want to allow anyone to get that close to him (which is actually part of his problem in relating to Cathy). George, on the other hand, looks forward to the exam, though he's disappointed by the resulting conclusion; he's a control freak

Directed by Harry Longstreet
Written by Diane Frolov & Andrew Schneider
Original air date November 27, 1989
Plot Summary: Newcomer Clara Bow is thought to be a Black Widow Killer, mating with and then murdering sexual partners she meets through a computer dating service.

As such, he's lined up his next target, George Francisco, currently involved in a sting operation.
The on again, off again Sikes-Cathy relationship veers off course a bit when he tries to get her to watch some Three Stooges comedy films, and she, like most human females doesn't think they are amusing at all. Complicating his life even further is Tectonese Marvin Gardens, who has taken a bonding drug and fallen in love with him, the same bonding drug that an insecure George wants Susan to ingest.

Directed by Stan Lathan
Written by Andrew Schneider & Diane Frolov
Original air date November 13, 1989
Plot Summary: Since George and Susan have agreed to have another child, they ask precinct janitor Albert Einstein to serve as their "Binnaum". It turns out that it takes two Tencontonese males to impregnate a female: the first make, in this case George, provides the seed, while the Binnaum become the catalyst which allows the conception to occur. Sikes, naturally, has a variety of salacious reactions to the concept, but George chooses to ignore him.
It's soon becomes known that Albert was part of the Binnaum religious sect on the ship, but abandoned it to live as a regular Tenctonese. That order's leader looks upon his serving as catalyst while outside the order as sacrilege, and, as such, he sets about making sure that Albert does not perform this function, even if it means killing him, as this leader has done with the others of his kind before.
Sikes and Cathy move a bit closer to true union, as Sikes questions George about Newcomer erogenous zones and the things that arouse them.
