by The drama on Syfy’s The Ark heats up as the other members of Ark One fight to stay on course and complete their mission, as seen in an exclusive clip from the upcoming fifth episode titled One Step Forward, Two Steps Back.
In the clip, Lt. Spencer Lane (The Outpost’s Reece Ritchie) facing the Lt. Sharon Garnet (maid’s Christie Burke) over the shocking revelation that she is a clone. Lane demands that Garnet step down, but Garnet refuses, believing that she is still the best person to steer the ship. The official log line for the fifth episode reads: “As a radiation leak creates a crisis, the murder investigation breaks down. Someone will have to sacrifice themselves for any hope of survival.”
Watch the exclusive footage below.
On a colonization mission 100 years in the future, the crew aboard Ark One suffers a catastrophic incident one year from reaching their destination. The event resulted in the death of many high-ranking officials and other people. Three lieutenants – Garnet, Lane, and James Brice (The Sandman Richard Fleeshman) — must act quickly to save the other members of Ark One and continue their mission.
The Ark created by Dean Devlin (Independence Day) and Jonathan Glassner (Stargate SG-1). When Digital Trends spoke with the creators and showrunners, Fleeshman discussed the idea of leadership and the fight to be in charge as a key storyline that would develop throughout the first season.
“There is a slight echo of it Game of thrones fighting for the chair,” Fleeshman said. “During the series, the captain’s chair remains empty for a long time, maybe indefinitely. It always takes pride of place in the bridge. It’s kind of in the background. Everyone’s eye is on the prize.”
The fifth episode of The Ark airs at 10 pm ET Wednesday, March 1, on Syfy. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
