This is the general discussion post for the episode 4.11 - Orbit. Spoilers for the whole series are allowed.
A renegade scientist named Egrorian summons Avon to the hostile planet Malodar with an offer Avon can't refuse. Avon shuttles down with Vila and meets the scientist and his assistant Pinder. They are given a demonstration of Egrorian's "Tachyon Funnel" - a powerful weapon that can destroy anything in the universe by harnessing the power of super-dense stellar matter - and all Egrorian wants for trade is Orac. Avon reluctantly considers the deal but returns later with Orac and Egrorian hands over the weapon system. Servalan however, is secretly behind the transfer and while Avon and Vila shuttle back to Scorpio, Egrorian discovers the traded Orac is a fake. Egrorian however, has rigged the shuttle to crash and Avon is faced with jettisoning the weapon as well as Vila in order cut weight and reach escape velocity.
