== Episode Description ==
When Minkowski and Hera get into a fight, Eiffel decides to stay out of the way until the dust settles. But the station’s deadly mutant plant monster stowaway somehow gains control of Doctor Hilbert’s mind, and it soon becomes clear that the crew has an emergency on their hands. Can Eiffel and his dubious interpersonal relationship skills patch things up between the Commander and the operating system before something goes disastrously wrong? Plus, Olympic obstinacy, wire-tapping, the peril-o-meter, mustard, and Doug’s Swiss Ass.
== Plot summary ==
Eiffel is listening to an argument between Hera and Minkowski immediately outside the Comms Room that has lasted for over two hours. Eiffel distracts himself with reading the station calendar, and then is interrupted by a comms call from Hilbert, who has been searching for Specimen 34. Hilbert is acting strangely, and when he asks for the location of the fertilizer, Eiffel lies and sends him to the observation deck instead.
Minkowski suddenly enters, revealing the cause of the argument: after the recent power outage, she asked Hera to give her reports on the station's automatic functions, and Hera refused. Eiffel attempts to bring her attention to the situation with Hilbert, but Minkowski is too distracted by the argument to listen. She demands Eiffel take a side, and he eventually agrees with her to shut her up, and Hera cuts in, revealing she has been listening. Eiffel is caught in the middle and, in attempt to please them both, instead upsets them both.
With Minkowski and Hera distracted by arguing again, Hilbert calls on the comms and reveals that he is being controlled by "The Blessed Eternal". Eiffel loses patience with the argument, and in his anger accidentally insults them both. The two of them turn on Eiffel instead, and in response he calls them "childish" and "petty". Hilbert begins speaking in praise of The Blessed Eternal over the main comms, and Minkowski and Hera decide to take him out with the halothane gas in the vents. Eiffel is ordered to stay in the Comms Room for future punishment.
