I think my jaw dropped when I saw the final episode of Sapphire and Steel when it was originally broadcast.
A shock downbeat ending and it was the last ever episode of the series.
Sapphire and Steel would forever be floating in a cafe through space.
The three men in the cafe are transient beings that answer to a higher authority. In short as the climax of episode 3 displayed when the men changed suits. They are just like Sapphire and Steel.
Only Sapphire and Steel turned down working for the higher authority and now they are to be banished for whatever reasons.
The sucker punch is that it is Steel's compassion for the woman that released the trap. Compassion was something in short supply where Steel is concerned in previous stories.
In the end Sapphire saw her future and Steel could not see an elaborate trap was set for them.
In my head I always thought as Silver was not with them. That somehow he would manage to rescue them.
What a way to finish off the series. One of the great sci fi shows of British television.
