== Plot summary ==
Doug Eiffel has continued to receive mysterious radio broadcasts, and has failed to discover their source or purpose. He is interrupted by both Minkowski and Hilbert shouting over the comms, but silences them. When questioned by Hera, it is revealed he has barricaded himself in the Comms Room with the station's last tube of toothpaste.
With Minkowski outside the door, Eiffel announces that he is holding the toothpaste hostage and will dump it into a can of oil if threatened. He has also stolen a supply of food to last until the toothpaste runs out. Minkowski tries to negotiate, suggesting Hilbert will create a substitute, but Eiffel is unimpressed. Minkowski instead has Hera cut off the Comms Room's communications and lower the temperature to -40 degrees. Eiffel manages to restore communications and is able to eavesdrop on Minkowski and Hilbert in Hilbert's lab. They are planning to knock him out with halothane gas.
After seventeen hours of siege, Eiffel is being deprived of sleep by means of a loud siren and is beginning to hallucinate. The alarm stops, and Hera contacts Eiffel to negotiate his surrender. Eiffel remains defiant, so Hera asks him to look out the window and describe what he sees. This proves to be a distraction while Hilbert dissolves the door hinges with hydrochloric acid. Minkowski knocks Eiffel out, and as punishment, throws him in the "brig" - a converted broom closet - until she and Hilbert finish the last tube of toothpaste.
