The previous episode ended in a tense cliffhanger. You just knew Sapphire could be for the chop.
Steel shows his powers. The civil war soldiers have taken physical form and he freezes them. This depletes Steel's energy.
It leads to a sinister knock on the door and then the door comes crashing down. There is an imposing man and he turns out to be Lead, (Val Pringle) another element.
There is a bit of sexual stereotyping as Lead is hungry and Sapphire does the cooking. Lead chides Steel for using his freezing powers without him being there to insulate Steel.
We learn something more about Sapphire and Steel. There is another dangerous assignment waiting for them and Sapphire might be more inexperienced than Steel.
Lead is a playful and boisterous character. You can sense that the children would find him intimidating.
This might be the best episode of the first season. A book of nursery rhyme that refuses to burn and more chaos is caused. Some nice atmospheric touches as the series hints at horror tropes.
