| - While trying to steal the Keeper’s ship, Dr. Smith accidentally releases all of the Keeper's specimens. Smith is frightened by the animals and runs back to the Jupiter 2 and he orders the Robot to erase the incident from his memory banks. Later on, John and Don encounter some of the more dangerous animals and are forced to destroy some. They cannot understand why the Keeper should have released his animals and Don suspects Smith was probably responsible. The Keeper, furious, comes to the Jupiter 2, determined to discover who was responsible. When Smith is revealed to have been responsible, the Keeper demands reparation from the Robinsons since many of his specimens have been killed; the Robinsons must surrender Will and Penny to him. John and Maureen naturally refuse, but the Keeper warns them that until the children are delivered to him he will not recapture his animals. With so many dangerous creatures loose on the planet, the Robinsons’ lives are in constant danger. Having delivered his ultimatum, the Keeper orders Dr. Smith to come to him that night and departs. When Smith arrives, the Keeper demands he help secure the delivery of Will and Penny, or else Smith will be fed to a horrible monster. Smith is terrified and agrees, but in his fright, he accidentally presses a switch that shuts off the force field keeping the creature in its pen. Back at the Jupiter 2, Judy and Don decide to offer themselves to the Keeper in Will and Penny’s place. John and Maureen also have the same idea, and all four end up at the Keeper’s ship. The Keeper considers it a noble gesture, but refuses them, saying he only wants the children and no one else. The Robinsons leave his ship, and seconds after they go, the terrible monster attacks and injures the Keeper. Meanwhile, Doctor Smith talks the children into giving themselves up to save their family. Smith begins to walk them over to the Keeper’s ship, but Don intervenes. John and Maureen are very concerned when they return and find the children missing. Maureen goes back to the Keeper’s ship looking for Penny and Will and finds him hurt. She helps him, and the Keeper is touched and surprised by her show of compassion. She then tells the Keeper of the missing children, and he begins to call back the escaped animals just as Don, Will, and Penny are being menaced by a giant spider. The next day, the Robinsons awaken to discover that the Keeper has collected all his animals back onto his ship. He comes to tell them that he has decided to leave, but intends to leave one creature behind to punish them. When the Robinsons go to investigate, they find that the Keeper has left Dr. Smith—imprisoned in a cage.
