When Kat is going to transfer to M.C.C. Labs, the Zone Riders must endure the most horrifying task yet: another clips episode!

Episode Notes
Written by J. Cole Weston

In depth: Dr. Laurence calls Commander Courage in to request Corporal Anastasia be transferred to M.C.C. Labs as his chief assistant. It would mean a promotion and a new Zone Rider. Kat seems cool to the idea but accepting. In Dr. Laurence's lab, Tucker comes to talk to Laurence about Kat's field capability . A brief flashback to another episode occurs in which she fights Duchess Dire. Then, another flashback as Tucker wonders if he's being heard.

Later Max and Tank come in to make their case on Kat's intelligence, with a flashback to "The Mind of Gideon Rorshak". Another flashback to the same episode occurs. Tank says they would be lost without Kat's quick thinking. They then flashback to "The Secret of Shadow House". Tank says when it comes to being a Zone Rider, Kat is the "Right Man for the Job." Ben Franklin comes to talk with Dr. Laurence also, with Hiro. Hiro explains she can do things no other Zone Rider can do. A flashback occurs to "Way of the Samurai". Dr. Laurence admits she is useful, but he needs someone in the field who knows the Zone. Ben suggests himself as a replacement instead. Dirk comes to visit the Doctor also. Dirk says she has something more than capability and knowledge. Then a flashback to "???" is shown. Dr. Laurence says he thought Dirk would like to see Kat protected in a safer assignment, but Dirk says he has too much respect for her abilities. Dirk comes to ask Kat if she really wants to do this. Dirk reports Laurence has withdrawn the offer. In a rather un-Russian like display, Kat hugs the commander, telling him how happy she is, but quickly regains her composure. Later at a briefing, Courage tells the Zone Riders about their next assignment, but even this is another clip. Dirk remembers the exchange with Kat and their romantic tension - both knowing until this ordeal is over, neither can act on their feelings. Courage leaves the conference room alone once more.

Items Noticed: I've noticed clips episodes suck.

Notes: None.

What do we learn? Next to nothing, as it's a clips episode.

Goof ups: There's some kind of audio glitch in the flashback to "Gideon Rorshak" in which the spy keeps moving her lips but not saying anything. Not sure if it's the DVD or the originals.
