Ep 8. Unknown

Lost in Space season 2 episode 8, titled "Unknown," takes us on a thrilling adventure with the Robinson family as they encounter something completely unexpected. As the episode begins, we see the Robinsons struggling with a malfunctioning fuel cell on the Jupiter 2. After several failed attempts to fix the cell, they are suddenly hit by a powerful burst of energy that knocks out all of their systems.

When the family finally regains consciousness, they find themselves on an unfamiliar planet with no idea how they got there. As they explore their surroundings, they discover a strange structure that appears to be an ancient temple of sorts. Inside, they find strange glyphs and symbols that they don't recognize, but Will is able to activate a holographic display that gives them a glimpse into the planet's past.

The hologram reveals that this planet was once inhabited by an advanced civilization that had the ability to manipulate energy. However, their experiments went awry, leading to a catastrophic event that destroyed their world. The Robinsons realize that the burst of energy that knocked them off course was actually a remnant of this ancient technology.

As they continue to explore the temple, they encounter a humanoid alien who is unlike anything they've seen before. The alien seems curious about the humans, but also wary. They manage to communicate with the alien through sign language, learning that it is the last of its kind and has been living alone on the planet for centuries.

As the Robinsons try to figure out how to get back to their own planet, they discover that the alien has been trying to repair an ancient spaceship that could potentially transport them all back home. However, the spaceship is missing a vital component, which the alien believes is located in a nearby cave system.

The Robinsons are hesitant to trust the alien, but they know that they have no other options if they want to leave the planet. They set out on a dangerous journey through the caves, encountering various obstacles and challenges along the way. Eventually, they find the missing component, but not without putting their lives at risk.

With the spaceship finally repaired, the Robinsons bid farewell to the alien and set off on their journey back to their own planet. However, they are not out of danger yet, as they soon realize that the ancient energy that caused their problems in the first place is still wreaking havoc on their ship's systems.

As they frantically try to fix the ship before it's too late, they learn that the ancient technology is in fact sentient and has been trying to communicate with them all along. They finally understand that the burst of energy that knocked them off course was actually a message, warning them not to interfere with the ancient technology.

In a heart-pounding race against time, the Robinsons must figure out a way to communicate with the sentient energy and convince it to let them go before it's too late. As they finally make their escape, they realize that their encounter with the unknown has changed them all in ways they never could have imagined.
