Following on from the revelation at the end of the previous episode, that numerous Jupiter's had managed to land on the planet... and that the main ship was seemingly still in orbit and looking for them, the space family Robinson set about integrating themselves back into a society of other survivors, whilst attempting to contact the mothership for a rescue.
It's perhaps the most surprising leap from the source material, to increase the overall population on the planet more than the just the extended family. But it seems like a necessary one if the intention is to run this series for a while and avoid too much repetition.
The episode also deepens the story surrounding the Robot/Alien. One of the other survivors saw the destruction that he caused and explains it to Judy, who left in temporary charge of her family decides that the robot needs to leave. Over the course of their journey to put the robot somewhere safe, she begins to warm up to it and, in the end, decides not to share this information with her father
Overall, it's a pretty solid if unspectacular episode. After earlier indifference I am warming to all of the family now and am genuinely interested in the changes and mysteries the show has teased. So Far, So good.
