But when they learn this great warrior is none other than Lucius they believe he's up to his old tricks again. Testing him for his enamor-inducing herb they find he's clean and only really guilty of pawning off their battle stories as his own.

Major Lorne discovers a planet with dozens of satellites in geosynchronous orbit.
