OK, a bit sugary, but good, a goodness we need today...

Warning: Spoilers
The pieces of the puzzle come together. A story written for Christmas, of hope, for the children.

As the lieutenant rounds up the children, who have no hope, no friends, no family, the G-man confronts them, but cannot stop them.

The four men (my mistake on the part 1 episode review was to say 5) put their project together. The Lieutenant brings the children. The G-man says "don't do it" to the 4 men as he is cynical that there is evil behind it.

But we find out that it is very wise, very good 'aliens' behind the project. They set out in the galaxy their genetic instructions to be embedded in the minds of the 4 men to build a rocket.

And in the rocket is a simulation of the environment from the planet the children are destined to go to. It helps those helpless, hopeless children to have a life they would not have here on this "heartless" earth. We see the crutches removed. The blind can see, the deaf can hear.

A noble and wonderful gift.

I haven't cried such tears of joy in a long time. For, I too, am disabled like the children, I have Deafness, a spinal injury, and more.

I live in hopelessness. Yet I have hope. Thank you, everyone who put this episode together.
