The explorers ask to release them and the neanderthal like aliens attack them once released. The explorers plead for the plants to retake the minds of the savage creatures and they do and then explain that like that of Earth there were higher level plant beings that molded Earthlings until they were killed off by such bestial humanoid animals and while the plants of Earth did not hold it against them those of Algol IV plan to help advance these creatures until they can wipe out human life on Earth.
