Sorry for the late reply. This is one of my favorite episodes as well! I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the fact that the flashback had one of the UF's all time favorite quotes, "They took us while we slept." Which led in turn to the marvelous, Burned by the Light, by Fenris. It is still housed on JADFE, now resurrected by Greer. (A big thank you for that!)

I encourage you to enjoy it if you have not already!
