One of those repeating timeline plots (saves hugely on shooting costs!). An alien vessel approaches Andromeda; ignores all warnings; Andromeda fires in defence; intruder boards Andromeda; kills everyone. Trance, in some other timeline, snips away at her bonsai, taking the Ascendant back in time and examining various outcomes. Eventually the crew get it right and the alien is despatched. Episode best viewed from a recording so you can fast forward through the repeating bits that are unchanged.
