Denise Ward: I had everything a girl could want.
Empyrian: What DID you want? The admiration of men, the envy of women. Are those lovely goals or are they just the hungers of the heart incapable of an honest feeling for another human being?

Explain Those Motivations Again
Several people, all with some history, are tricked into getting on a flying saucer which is supposedly an amusement park attraction. Normally, the visitors get a simulated trip through the galaxy. Now, an alien has taken over and we are not immediately made aware of his intentions. It turns out that he has selected this group of people. First, a middle aged couple that is dominated by the abusive husband. A young football star and his friend (who ends up dying early on) and his girlfriend who has been pinned by his fraternity. There are also the two people who run the attraction, a brilliant scientist who has lost his way and a beautiful blonde woman who acts as a flight attendant on the ersatz saucer. The alien has been messing around with the controls and has managed to turn what was an artificial device into a real flying saucer. But why? What follows is a talky thing as the alien scolds the people as they are catapulted into space, heading for the home planet. Their weaknesses are used against them as they feel desperation. The scientist and the flight attendant develop a romance, but they are far from truthful. This episode is interesting as we await an explanation as to why this is being done. What makes this one a challenge for me is why these people were picked? We find out the ultimate purpose for the voyage, but, again, why these people?
