Aeolian (TV story)

Aeolian marked the midway point in the first series of K9, and was perhaps most notable for advancing the romantic story arc present from the initial episode. Significantly, Jorjie finally admitted to Darius that she in fact liked Starkey — thus preventing Darius from admitting his true feelings for her. The episode left open for future stories what impact this would have on Starkey's already fractious relationship with Darius, or whether Starkey reciprocated Jorje's feelings.

Production errors

 * Daniel Webber's guitar fingering at the top of the episode doesn't match the music he's trying to play.

Continuity

 * K9 is again curious about Human emotions, as in Fear Itself. This time he inquires about the nature of love, but no one can give him even a rough idea of what it is.
 * This episode definitively establishes that K9 has some sort of on-board linguistic database, as he is able to talk to the Aeolians. This point was never particularly clear in his (or his successors') usage in Doctor Who, since he would have ostensibly had access to TARDIS translation circuit.  Moreover, he's never been shown to use other languages in The Sarah Jane Adventures.
