Fire Talker

This was a decent episode but definitely far fetched. The group lands on a fire world for less than a minute only to unknowingly leave with a fire friend. On the next world, they get jobs as factory workers, scabs, since most of the employees are on strike. This episode highlights corporate greed and murder to maintain profits. These petroleum workers are treated worse than on our world. They have no benefits. The group must find out what is really going on while trying to communicate with the fire being they brought with them. The workers were greatly benefited by the group's slide into their reality, and Wade was able to help a pregnant woman who lost her husband to murder.

Trivia
Mallory says " Dr Watson, come here" when establishing communication with the fire-creature. This is an allusion to the first recorded telephone conversation between Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant.

Goofs
When J.C. is telling Diana about the fire being alive, you see Professor Arturo listening in behind them. He lowers his newspaper and leans back against the wall. Then the jump cut to a long shot shows him do the same motions again.
