Jedikiah turns out to be in reality the Cyclops' shape-changing robot; the Cyclops (implied to be of the same race as Polyphemus, the Cyclops of Homer's Odyssey) turns out to be an alien traveller stranded near Earth after an accident killed his crew of telepaths, whose powers are needed to operate his ship's engines. Jedikiah is damaged and goes berserk, damaging the ship and dooming it to explode; the Tomorrow People, however, are able to jaunt the Cyclops off the ship to Earth, and contact other aliens who can provide the Cyclops with the atmosphere he needs to breathe and with transport back to his own star system.

According to TIM, this happened once before, in ancient Rome, where the Blues and the Greens destabilised the empire, leading to its long-term collapse.

All discs are Region 0 and are playable in most countries where PAL is the standard. In 2005, A&E TV Home Entertainment (under license from THAMES, talkbackTHAMES and FremantleMedia International)[4] released three boxsets for North America, in the NTSC format, that contain all eight seasons and the documentary "Beyond Tomorrow".
The 1990s series was released as a 5-DVD set but only in region 2 in September 2005.
