Colonel Craig Collins (Derren Nesbitt), one of earth's secred alien defense operation SHADO's key operative has just survived a rocket ship crash relatively unscathed on the outside, and all official psychological tests show there's nothing wrong with him - good thing, too, because SID, SHADO's key satellite for detecting UFOs has been shot out of operation by those nasty aliens, and Collins knows SID like no other, and thus is ordered to moonbase for a mission to repair SID.

On moonbase though, several people notice there's something different with Collins, first it's his ex Virginia (Wanda Ventham), but that's maybe not too surprising considering they've separated only recently, and he might not be as over it as she is. Collins' direct superior Colonel Grey (Gary Raymond) also feels there's something wrong with him - but Grey could never really stand Collins, so little surprise in that. Only Grey is sure there's something sinister going on with Collins, and he starts to investigate on his own - especially after an attempt on his life is made, for which he blames Collins (without a hint of proof though) ...

Only days before the mission to SID starts, Collins' pilot (and top SHADO operative) Foster (Michael Billington) is injured in an "accident" that makes him unfit to fly the mission. There is only one replacement for Foster: SHADO's boss Straker (Ed Bishop) - who quickly agrees to fly the mission wholeheartedly because Collins is one of his oldest friends.

Up there in space, while reparing SID, Collins shows his true colours and tries to kill Straker - but fortunately, back on earth, Grey has gathered enough evidence to make a convincing case against Collins and prove he was branwashed into killing Straker by the aliens, and he warns Straker virtually in the nick of time ...

One of the more interesting episodes of UFO, basically because it finds just the right balance between its usual wonderful miniature effects and a character-driven story that affords itself to steer off the beaten track a bit (though not terribly much) and offer its audience quite a few interesting plottwists (even if at the end, everything that has happened before seems to have fallen into place in a predictable way). And the usual fine actors don't hurt one bit either, of course, even if Derren Nesbitt (or rather his role) is a bit too annoying from the get-go to invoke the kind of sympathy a character like his would have demanded.
