   Summary

   Jonny gets given truth serum and while it's Tim's turn to keep him company questions are asked.

   Important questions, questions that are easier to answer when they can both trust the words coming out of the First Mate's mouth.

   A conversation is had that needed to be had many, many millennia ago.
