Rose\'s character is in college when he meets a strange, brilliant 12-year old named Smith who\'s also a student there. He befriends him from people who are teasing the poor kid, yet Smith is strangely sinister. When Rose visits the youngster later, Smith shows him a strange coffin-like device. He throws a switch and says that in minutes there will be a little world in the device. Rose watches as, as promised, a dot appears and grows, glowing white hot inside the device. Only problem is: Smith doesn\'t have full control over it. The thing blows up (the two collegians get out in time) their building and leaves the ground beneath radioactive for 3 months. Smith gets expelled from the school.

Several years later, Rose\'s character encounters Smith again...he learns Smith, who\'s become quite rich from his inventions, intends to create a new planet in the solar system, populate it with \"superior\" humans, and make it an ideal planet.

The ending to this wasn\'t quite what I expected (it reminded me a little of the ending to \"Hole in the sky\", right down to Russel Horton\'s performance in both episodes) but it was still an enjoyable episode. Rose was excellent. <br>
