Ep 2. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right

The second episode of Pandora season 2 is named "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". The episode takes off from the previous one with Jax trying to come to grips with her past and a failed mission, while at the same time, trying to adjust to her new environment. As she navigates through the complexities of college life, her wingman Ralen is tasked with an inconceivable mission that could have disastrous consequences for Vega.

In the aftermath of Jax attacking her attacker at the end of the previous episode and pulling off a heroic move that saved everyone from the poison gas, she is a bit shaken up and traumatized. The episode opens with Jax confiding in her roommate that she doesn't want to be in the dorm room alone, which is entirely understandable given the events of the previous episode. Her roommate, who happens to be Zack's girlfriend, tries to cheer her up, but the effect is minimal.

Meanwhile, Ralen is briefed by a fellow Zatarian spy, Yorick, who has a plan to assassinate an influential person in Vega. The assassination mission is in an effort to sabotage the peace treaty negotiations happening between Earth and Zatar. After being briefed, Raelen has to make a tough decision whether or not to carry out the mission and risk innocent lives. With the help of Jax, he relays the information to Commander Ellis, who is skeptical about the plan's authenticity but agrees to give them a chance to prove it.

As a result of the briefing, Pandora's top brass initiates a lockdown of the campus. No one is allowed in or out, and after a boring day in class, Jax returns to her room to find a note on her door just as a group of law enforcement officers breaks the rules and enter the dorm building. Everyone is ordered to return to their rooms, and the authorities start searching every room for a suspect. During the search, Jax bumps into Xander, and they briefly catch up on old times..

As the search in the dorms comes to an end, students are asked to stay in their rooms while a thorough search is conducted in the university grounds. However, Jax and Scarlett get permission to leave the dorms to go check on Jax's father. Upon arrival, they find him searching through Jax's belongings, looking for clues to the attack. Jax's father starts digging up emotions that Jax had buried, leading to them having one of their most emotional moments in the series.

Returning to the dorms, Jax tests out one of her theories about the attempted assassination, and she brings Xander into the picture. Xander is hesitant about being included but ultimately goes along with Jax's plan. The two devise a plan to capture the killer by approaching them with a phony story. What follows next is a cunning plan that only Jax could come up with.

Overall, the episode is jam-packed with suspense, action and drama that will leave viewers glued to their screens. With Jax's emotional turmoil escalating, Ralen's perilous mission and Commander Ellis's skepticism, the second episode of Pandora season 2 is a must-watch for all sci-fi enthusiasts.
