In the X Minus One episode titled Caretaker, the story begins with a space crew preparing to make contact with Holman, a man who has been marooned on a distant planet for twenty-two years. The crew, led by Commander Lowndes, is eager to document their findings, particularly since Holman represents the first genuine human race encountered outside of Earth. As they approach the planet, they are informed of Holman's unique situation, including his relationship with a local woman named Celia, which complicates their mission.
