Kappatoo (1990). S01 E07 = "OUT OF TIME" [review]

Episode summary [lots of spoilers]: "Kappatoo calls his computer asking where Simon is as he wants some information about romance for his upcoming date with Tracy. His computer informs him that Simon is attending Kappatoo’s birthday party and gives Kappatoo some hints about romance, as well as advising Kappatoo to give her a small gift. Kappatoo has dinner at Tracy’s as do Steve and Belinda, all of them have a really good time and Kappatoo really impresses Tracy with his story from the future about how humans should not burn fossil fuels. He almost comes close to telling her who he really is but decides against it. As they are saying goodbye and about to kiss, Tracy’s mum bangs on the window, interrupting them; with the moment ruined they say goodbye and Kappatoo walks off right into the path of the waiting Sigmasix.

Likewise, Simon is having a really good time at the party Mufour organised. They are interrupted briefly when Simon gets a message from the computer to return to Kappatoo’s dome. He takes Mufour back with him, helps the computer with a question from Simon and then they return to the party. Sigmasix instructs his computer to find a time-belt and he goes back to 1990 to capture Kappatoo, bring him back home and expose his cheating. Beaming back into Simon's bedroom, Simon’s mum advises him that Simon is at Tracy’s. After some difficulty, both find Tracy’s house, and, after making his way there not being used to having to walk, he arrives completely exhausted and confronts Kappatoo as he is leaving. After a brief chase through different locations using their wrist bands, Sigmasix becomes fused to climbing bars in the school’s gym. Kappatoo leaves him there, says goodbye to Steve at Simon's house and travels back to his time using Sigmasix’s time-belt. Once there, his computer alerts the time travel police and they arrest Sigmasix. The time travel police stop briefly at Kappatoo’s dome as Sigmasix advised them of Simon, but since only Kappatoo is present, Sigmasix quickly withdraws his accusation, not knowing Simon is hiding in the dome. Simon says goodbye to Kappatoo and travels back to his time. It looks like all is well, but he gets a message via his computer on how to return the time-belt. As the message has interference, he types in the wrong number and the belt and him are transported to the ergosphere of a black hole, leaving Kappatoo no choice but to try and rescue his friend."
