Penny and her mother become trapped in a mysterious metal trench, Maureen confesses to Penny that she did not read her book. Meanwhile, Don falls prey to a nasty toxin and only Dr. Smith has the right blood type. Dr. Smith uses Penny’s book as a sort bible, she is of course up to something again. Penny and Maureen work their way into the chariot and survive the lightning and John gets the ship airborne again. Will believes that the robots came from here, the text on the metal in the trench looks like that of the robot.

The Robinsons' dream of a happy reunion fade when they realize something's very wrong aboard the Resolute. It is abandoned, though soon they’ll find they are not alone. Judy finds a young girl who has been left behind and has been living there for 6 months. Smith seizes a chance to clear her name. When Smith meets the daughter of the man she killed, she shocked, full of guilt, knowing that she will never see her father again. Maureen and John manage to lock-up a robot in a small cage, and soon afterwards they learn that a robot was locked in there before also. While Will searches for clues to the Robot's fate, he finds the captured robot and tries become friends with it, but this has other results. John and Judy travel to the dusty surface of the nearby planet to help their fellow survivors. Judy is disappointed when she notices that she isn’t being treated as a doctor but more as a 1^st years student. John gets in trouble, again. Penny tells on Dr. Smith, who is arrested.  The big secret is that the Resolute is build around an alien crashed ship. It needs a robot to fly, so there always was an robot on the Resolute. West reunites with his former colleagues but they consider him a coward for fleeing.

John's predicament goes from bad to worse, sending Judy on a frantic race across the planet, going outside the fences. Penny spies on Smith with her former boyfriend. Smith who gets her 2^nd chance, at least that is what she thinks. Will, Maureen and Adler go back to the planet where the Robinson’s came from and where the robot is supposed to be. Note - Loved the father – daughter set up in the episode, really had me going a few times. I am really getting old…but who cares! The fast-spreading contaminant leaves Penny, Smith, the teacher and Vijay stranded in tight quarters. With his experience as smuggler, Don is able to save Penny and the others. Will and Maureen set out with Adler to find the Robot. They seem to find the robot but it is the enemy robot, which Adler takes out with his device. A desperate Will, still looking for his robot when he falls through a hole, to be captured by his robot. Don West sacrifices himself, confesses to his smuggler crimes. Note – When Don West is in the scene, it always gets a guaranteed smile on my face. I think Don West is my favorite character.

John recruits an unlikely partner, Smith, to help hunt down a secret audio signal intercepted by the ship. Will begins to suspect Adler is hiding something. Adler has a plan to capture the robot but as he sees on his journey with Will and Maureen how the robot behaves, he has second thoughts. Smith and John work together so that they get to learn what is actually happening on the bridge regarding the signal. With robot ships coming in great numbers, the captain of the resolute wants to leave people behind on the planet. But Maureen has a plan. Maureen leads a mutiny, because she doesn’t want to leave those 500 people on that planet. Hastings visits John to deliver an ultimatum. He threatens and executes a plan that almost kills Don West and his colleagues. Maureen saves them. Penny tries to convince Will that his Robot has changed. Robot ‘feels’ that a friend is in trouble, scarecrow, he is near death which angers the robot and he is no longer willing to help Will. Smith forsakes to warn Maureen in time after Hastings immobilizes John and Judy. During her run to the bridge she ran into the child and the mother of the man she killed, she chose to make a detour which made her too late.

Will and Penny scramble to hide the robots and figure out their next move. Meanwhile, Hastings amps up his war against the Robinsons. Hastings deliberately leaves behind Maureen and John who are outside the Resolute. Dr. Smith chooses Hastings’ side when it seems he is on the winning hand.  Adler is convinced by Robot to get Scarecrow to the planet where he can heal. There he sacrifices himself for Scarecrow and Will, but the Robot gets captured by Hastings. Note – Episode 9, a brilliant episode, edge of your seat stuff!

The mission to save Scarecrow takes an unexpected turn, when suddenly a lot of robots awake and follow Will in Jupiter two, throwing the Resolute into chaos. John and Maureen get back inside the resolute and save the robot and take out Hastings. Judy hatches a plan to get a ship to Alpha Centauri. Only the children get to leave, 97 of them. Judy is reluctantly the captain. The robots are on the resolute now but Scarecrow has also returned and he is the reason the ship with the children can escape. When they arrive at New Alpha, they see the planet is destroyed and the ship the Fortuna is in front of them! That ship was thought to be lost 12 years ago, Judy’s dad was on it.

Final Word:

Is the reimagined Lost in Space perfect? No, but it is an exciting TV show with character growth, a story arc, a show about perseverance, family, and also an emotional ride, even with the robot makes your throat swell up on multiple occasions. I cannot compare it to the original show because I never saw it, but I dare to say that the reimagining of Lost in Space is a success. Season one was entertaining, season two was downright exciting! One more season to go.
