Age is actually beating Karkinos. That's huge. But the Silver Tribe isn't going to let that happen they send Artemia in to help. So now Age is back to fighting two Nodos. Meanwhile, humanity gets a lifeline: a secret starway that leads to their home planet, the conflict is between hope and sacrifice they can return home, but they might have to leave Age behind. That's the kind of moral dilemma this show loves to explore.
