Storyline

As instructed, Ted visits Pod 4 and is so disturbed by the experience that he is barely able to function. His wife Eve and one other person are the only ones to have been selected by the pod, as she explains it, and it is trying to communicate with him. He retreats to his room and provides little leadership, particularly when Donner determines there is a problem with the lander and he begins to suspect there is more going on than meets the eye. When Mission Control medical officer Claire Deroux discovers the crew is undergoing genetic changes, Eve reveals their well-kept secret. Having undergone various tests Ajay learns his fate.

Quotes

[first lines]
Maddux Donner: I've always believed that doors are meant to be opened. That's why they have hinges and knobs. You put up a barrier and somebody's gonna walk through it. That's human nature to want to know what's on the other side, And to ignore the obvious catch. Doors are there for a reason.
