That plan falls to shit when they walk through the door to the catwalks and Stokes sees the Ascension in front of him.

He believes he’s still on the ship and demands that she bring him to the captain. Even after his escape is discovered, Stokes is able to drag Krueger all through the place undetected. Luckily, security at this facility is incredibly lax. Her timing is pretty bad, as Stokes has just overpowered an orderly to make an escape attempt. Krueger, who still wants evidence that will allow her to publicly expose the Ascension project, steals an access card from the scientist Carillo and uses it to enter Stokes’ cell. The child actually belongs to another councilman, who is required to step down, greatly weakening Rose’s position on the council. Unfortunately for him, Denninger and his wife Viondra manipulated him. Meanwhile, buoyed by the captain’s sex scandal and by information that Denninger may have an illegitimate love child on the lower decks, scheming Councilman Rose makes a power play to remove Denninger from command. Inside the ship, Robert Bryce puts Christa inside a fancy CAT scan machine he’s designed, so that he can monitor her brain’s electrical signals. Warren will take over until a replacement can be found. Some goons arrive to drag him out to be “retired,” violently. Warren pays the facility a visit and informs Harris that the TC Group, which is apparently the organization they work for, has issued a vote of No Confidence and demanded his removal. Unfortunately for Harris, Krueger has filed her report with Director Warren, and it’s not flattering. Outside the ship, Harris mutters some pseudoscience gibberish about “morphic resonance” and Christa being a “catalyst.” Ghost Lorelei (who only Christa can see) yells at Christa to “Look away!” while her face goes all scary.

In the midst of the celebration, a video clip starts playing on the wall of Captain Denninger having sex with Lorelei, which of course creates a commotion. Gault is not pleased to hear this.įrom her quarters, little psychic Christa hears mysterious laughing and has a vision of her dead sister Lorelei leading her to the party. Of the three couples selected to procreate, the last consists of Gault’s ex-girlfriend Emily and her current husband Duke. The finale opens with the “Ostara” ritual, where most of the upper-deckers await the results of the computer’s mating match-up assignments. As I feared, this premise was difficult to sustain and the show failed to stick its landing. Syfy’s much-hyped three-part miniseries event ‘Ascension’ drew to a close last night.
