This is one of the strangest slides our Sliders he rose have ever encountered. The vortex looks weird almost like a wormhole has been interrupted and dumps them off before their journey was finished.

Diana tells them they are not on the earth anymore.

Rembrandt and Maggie let out a little bit of a laugh.

They tell Diana it simply doesn’t work that way. No matter what happens they don’t time travel nor did they go to other planets. It is always just an alternate version of Earth they simply land in different parts of Southern California or San Francisco.

But this one is quite different and they come to find out they are actually in purgatory. They meet up with this lieutenant and his troops. They don’t know what war is going on but they will soon find out.

He drafts them into service even though they protest saying that he can’t force them to fight. He agrees but says that he can take them to where the fighting is and let them make their own decision from there.

They do some pretty good fighting and the lieutenant warms up to them.

They come to find out the lieutenant and his troops are fighting the Kromaggs on this world. They are protecting some bunker whose contents they don’t know. The lieutenant was just given orders to protect it even though he doesn’t know what’s inside.

Things are getting very bleak as the number of troops dwindles. The Kromaggs are also suffering massive losses and shortages of supplies as well as food.

The conflict is coming to a head and will soon be over.

The Sliders discover that the lieutenant and his troops are from Quinn’s home world. This is also the Kromaggs home earth. In the discussion Rembrandt tells the lieutenant that he wants a weapon that Mike Mallory used to beat back the Kromaggs so he can take it back to his world.

The lieutenant tells him he doesn’t want a Voratron device because it has nasty ecological side effects.

Rembrandt loses hope of freeing his world.

As the episode progresses things do come to a head when an uneasy truce is formed because Rembrandt has a chance to kill the commanding Kromagg but doesn’t. The Kromaggs want food and believe the bunker has supplies in it. So the Sliders agree to go down there and see what is in the bunker.

While they are down there the Kromaggs double cross and kill all the humans. One of them does the mind trick to take on the role of the lieutenant and goes down there to find out what’s in it.

They realize it’s a Voratron Kromagg killing device.

They discover the Kromagg’s subterfuge and kill him. They slide out of there but before they do they trigger the Voratron device and take out the Kromaggs on this purgatory world. It was actually an asteroid and Diana discovers the reason the timer isn’t counting down is not because the wormhole is closed but simply because it’s been interrupted.

She makes some adjustments to the computer and reopens the vortex which got interrupted. They enter back into the wormhole which now completes its journey dumping them off on the next world.
