The Tomorrow People

War of the Empires, Part 2: Contact! (8x2)

Air date: Feb 05, 1979

Elizabeth returns to the Lab, just as General Vishishnu and his Sorson fleet enter Earth�s atmosphere; one ship lands near the White House and the Sorson representative promises to help the President defend the planet, and gives him a Barluminite raygun to stop the Tomorrow People interfering without harming them. John and Elizabeth jaunt to the Galactic Trig to discuss the Sorson landing on Earth, but the committee�s lack of interest angers John, and he is charged with contempt by the chairman, arrested, and sent to the Proctor Detention Centre with his telepathic powers removed. Mike and Hsui Tai jaunt to the White House, but the President accuses them working for an alien power and withholding advanced technology, and shoots Mike.
