When the first
baby is born on Alpha celebrations soon turn sour as the child grows by five
years in a few seconds though everyone except Koenig seems to take it in their
stride. By no coincidence whatsoever an alien spaceship also turns up and the
commander is the one who spots a connection between the two events. You never
know which way this episode is going to turn. At first the kid- named Jackie
Crawford- seems relatively normal but director Ray Austin captures some spooky
shots of him that wouldn’t be out of place in a horror movie. It soon seems
that the child has some psychic powers which also set up the weekly argument
with Alan Carter!
