Razer finds a vast graveyard of crashed ships and meets Saint Walker who explains that they are pirates and warships that have all crashed on the planet.

Razer is quickly angered by Walker's peaceful demeanor, but Walker easily evades his attacks and warns him that his rage will be his doom before giving him the green ring and departing. The team realize that the cast away are in fact criminals who have been stranded on the planet and have suppressed Aya's CPU and commandeered the Interceptor.

Background
Borrowing from the comics, the early drafts of this episode was that Mogo was conceived to be a very spiritual place to visit. With Hal seeing a vision of Carol and Kilowog seeing the vision of his lost family. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the budget to give every one a spirit quest like they originally intended. So they only used it on Razer and Saint Walker.
