This episode has Warden playing a prisoner on an asteroid. No fences or guards, because it's empty space.

He's wrongly accused of a crime, and dealt with harshly, so Dehner, who brings him supplies on a space ship from Earth every now and then, treats him well. The two other workers who come with Dehner aren't so benevolent. Well, they see Warden as a man who is justly punished.

Dehner, knowing the loneliness, brings him a "gift", a female android.

What transpires next is mostly character driven theater. We wonder if the android really has feelings.

No spoilers from me. It's a character study piece, and I think it's pretty well done. It's very watchable.
