Discussion Post for 4.10 - Gold - General
This is the general discussion post for the episode 4.10 - Gold. Spoilers for the whole series are allowed.
An old acquaintance of Avon named Keiller informs him of the secret transport of gold from the planet Zerok to the Federation via a passenger liner called the Space Princess. Keiller plans to steal the gold but needs help and offers Avon and the others a cut of the loot. The scheme however, involves getting the gold off Zerok before it is processed into "black gold" - an atomically altered version that is worthless until it is converted back into normal gold via an encoded computer process. Keiller leads the break-in of the Zerok facility, but the team is ambushed as the guards have been tipped off - a set up by Servalan. Avon decides to hijack the next black gold shipment from the Princess itself and sell it back to Servalan, but this move could be part of her elaborate plan to profit enormously.
