Liberation Day
gs: Michael Durrell (Robert Maxwell) Jenny Beck (Elizabeth Maxwell) Frank Ashmore (Martin) Rod Browning (Unknown) Ed Call (Unknown) Burt Marshall (Steve Roller) Haunani Minn (Reporter) Kirk Scott (Unknown) Valentin de Vargas (Unknown)
After the showdown at the end of V : The Final Battle, Martin turns the ship around and the group heads back to earth. They discover however that Diana has escaped the mothership, and Donovan launches a skyfighter to go after her. After a brief flight, Donovan damages Diana's fighter and he captures her once again.
During the following year, Science Frontiers is awarded the contract to find the secrets of the Mothership technology, Julie Parish is placed in charge of the project by her boss, Nathan Bates. Elias Taylor has started his own "theme" restaurant; the Club Creole, Donovan returns to news reporting, and Martin is his assistant. Robin and Elizabeth live with Robin's father, Robert; and Diana is on her way to be tried for crimes against humanity. Donovan and Martin have a conversation about Diana, Donovan tries to explain that Diana must go to trial but Martin believes she is much too dangerous and should be killed.
Robin goes on a trip, leaving Elizabeth with Robert. Ham Tyler meets with Nathan Bates and is offered a job, which he reluctantly accepts. When Diana arrives at her court hearing, she is shot in front of a live camera and is whisked away in an ambulance. Donovan and Martin steal a helicopter and follow the ambulance, which loads into a truck under a bridge. Donovan realizes the snafu and follows the truck. After it stops we see that Ham Tyler is behind the escapade and that Diana isn't really shot, just tranquilized.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth's arm begins peeling, and Robert calls Julie for help. After Julie arrives, she tries to make Elizabeth more comfortable but comes to the conclusion she can't really do anything for her; even fears that Elizabeth may be changing into a Visitor. While she tries to explain this to Robert, Elizabeth takes a horse and rides away. Julie and Robert chase after her.
Nathan Bates walks into the chamber that Diana is being kept in and makes her a deal; deliver vital medical and technological information and she will be kept alive. She accepts. Martin and Donovan arrive at Diana's location and Martin knocks Donovan out and goes to kill Diana. Diana turns the tables and sets a fire that mortally injures Martin, who crawls out and with his dying breaths he tells Mike what has happened. When Tyler discovers Diana has escaped he quits Bates and heads to the nearest Communications Station from where Diana was being held, believing correctly that she will try to contact her people.
Donovan arrives at the Comm Station, and finds Tyler also there. They combine forces to locate Diana, who has already set a homing beacon. Tyler destroys the beacon and Donovan chases Diana. During the chase, the watch she stole from Martin beeps, and although she should be suffocating from the red dust she still lives. A Skyfighter lands and although Donovan shoots her several times, she remains unscathed due to the Visitor uniform. They take off and proceed to the far side of the moon, where a new fleet is waiting.
When Robert and Julie catch up to Elizabeth, she is in a cave that is surrounded by snakes. Pushing the snakes out of the way, Julie and Robert enter the cave and find Elizabeth encompassed in a cocoon, undergoing a strange metamorphosis.

# NOTE: Lane Smith joins the cast as Nathan Bates. Diana remarks she was unaffected by the red dust at the end. She was also unaffected at the beginning of the episode, 1 year earlier.
# The term 'Starchild', to define Elizabeth, is used for the 1st time.
# The visitors' voices are no longer enhanced. Probably just a production difference.
# Donavan shoots Diana several times in the chest and back, just slowing her down. Obviously he wasn't using Ham's super bullets.
# In 'The Final Battle' the red dust was made by resistance cells all over the worls. In this series, the company Science Frontiers seems to have exclusive production of red dust and its antidote.
# First of all, the reason why the visitors voices sound "Normal" is because they have now been on Earth quite a while now and they have been breathing better oxygen, if you remember on there own planet, the planet is dying and that's why at first they talk funny, it's because the Earth is in better shape than there plantet is. Secondly referring to Mike not using "Ham's super bullets", Mike only has a regular hand gun which just fires normal bullets, he doesn't have the same ammo as Ham and also the Visitors armor can protect them from regular bullets, which is why Diana is not killed.
# The Visitors voices being different also makes for an important plot device. It allows the Visitors to more easily infiltrate the human strongholds.
