Above average episode, keeps you involved with an interesting, well-executed, and complex-in-a-good-way story line, including the "Are they or aren't they?" issue, as well as plenty of action. Good guest performance by William Schallert ("The Patty Duke Show", among much else). Some good poignancy in the unlost decency/loyalty of both Dan clones.
The way the clones "disappeared" was a bit low-budget and hokey. (Would have rather seen them disintegrate into a mound of goo or ashes.) Meanwhile, ALL the "Valeries" were gorgeous, and the sudden emergence of the evil edge on her first clone was both surprising and more than a bit sexy.
A side note: Heather Young's "Betty" was missing from this episode without any mention or explanation. This happened a couple of times in the series for her and maybe one or two other characters. They don't even bother to say that the character was out foraging for truffles or taking a nap or anything. (Usually on "Lost in Space" they would offer SOME kind of explanation, like they were off on a mission to another location or something, although think there might have been a time or two when Marta Kristen's "Judy" was MIA without comment.)
