19/03/1999 - PREMIERE (101) (48' 07")

John Crichton, and astronaut with the IASA, and his best friend DK are out to prove a theory, that a manned spacecraft can overcome atmospherical friction to increase velocity to never before recorded speeds. John is pretty nervous, and the fact that his father was a legendary astronaut doesn't help. His Dad wishes him luck, John says his goodbyes and his shuttle, "Farscape 1", launches.  Unfortunately for Commander Crichton, things don't go too well. Something appears ahead of him and he is told to abort, but as he attempts to do so, he is pulled through a wormhole and flung across the galaxy...  Alien ships whiz past him at super speeds, one of which hits his shuttle and collides with an asteroid, being destroyed in the process. He soon sees a huge ship under attack, and is being pulled aboard. The inside of the ship is not what you may expect - it looks almost alive. Suddenly a little robot appears, as Farscape 1 malfunctions and a piece of it flies of the front. One of the robots gets trapped and its antennae broken, as two more seem to usher him somewhere. He looks up and sees two aliens – one blue, the other a feline-like creature – talking in an incomprehensible language. The aliens turn and notice him, and the feline-like one approaches and grabs him! One of the robots injects him, and the alien languages become comprehensible. They ask him what technology his ship is, and can they use it to escape? One asks for manoeuvrability from an alien that appears as an image on a clamshell, named "Pilot", who says he can do nothing until the "control collar" is removed. Crichton goes to look as the aggressive alien is pulling out wires from a console, as another small alien flies in on a sled! It says they were scheduled to go to a prison, and the aggressive one says it will not be taken prisoner. The little one hovers over to Crichton and says he'll look after him now, if Crichton looks after him later.  The aggressive alien pulls something, the blue one says she hit the code, and Pilot announces the control collar is coming off! The aggressive one says to prepare immediately for something called "Starburst", but Pilot says "Moya", the ship's name, has been restrained too long, but it's their only way, and in a jump-gate like technique, it Starbursts dragging a small ship with her.  Meanwhile, the small ships, named "prowlers", that were attacking Moya are ordered to return to their huge carrier ship. We see a human-like man called Captain Crais on a bridge, and he receives word that the Leviathan ship (Moya) escaped, and the Hynerian prisoner got the key-codes for the cells. He is told two prowlers are missing, one is his brother's, and they watch the collision Crichton had when he arrived, and Crais says he wants to see who was in the other ship.  The other prowler is pulled aboard Moya, but Pilot cannot tell them exactly where they are. The little alien spits in John's face, and the aggressive one shoots out its tongue, knocking John unconscious. Later, the blue alien tells the aggressive one she is "Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan", and he responds he is "Ka D'Argo". Zhaan says she is a Delvian priest. She was imprisoned for being the lead anarchist on her world. D'Argo says he killed his commanding officer. He is 30 cycles old, a Luxan warrior and he has seen two battle campaigns. He says their escape probably won't last long enough for the "Peacekeepers" to note in their logs.  Crichton wakes up, naked and imprisoned in a cell. He asks the little alien, who is hovering outside the cell, why he was stripped. The alien says he is "Rygel XVI", Dominar to over 600 billion, and his brother stole his throne while he slept. He says Crichton was stripped to be examined, and the robot earlier injected him with "translator microbes", so they can understand each other. He says he was locked up because they can no more trust him than that, and points to a female in a spacesuit. She also looks human. Crichton goes to introduce himself, but she attacks him, asks for his rank and regiment and asks why he is out of uniform.  She is a Peacekeeper, and Rygel is the Hynerian. She says she is Officer Aeryn Sun, Special Peacekeeper Commando. She again asks Crichton for his rank. He explains he's a scientist, as Rygel lowers some possessions that he's been trying to get. Zhaan comes along and says they know now he's not a Peacekeeper, but now it's time to eat.  The Techs have completed the imaging of the pilot of the ship for Crais, and his Lieutenant, Teeg, on seeing Crichton remarks he is a "Sebacean". Crais orders the pursuit of the Leviathan.  Aeryn and John are handcuffed for the meal, and while John tries to make sense of everything Zhaan tells him the ship is a Leviathan – a bio-mechanoid, living ship! It cannot currently travel at high speeds because D'Argo ripped out some wrong wires earlier. They are approaching an inhabited system with a commerce planet. Zhaan asks Aeryn if there's a Peacekeeper presence on the planet. She doesn't respond, and John says he doesn't know. Rygel farts helium, as D'Argo notices a fork that Aeryn earlier put up her sleeve, and takes it away.  D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel go down to the planet, where Rygel is bartering with a huge alien. John and Aeryn are still stuck in a cell, and he says he must have come here through a wormhole. Aeryn says if he wants to make one, how does he expect to do so from inside a cell? He reveals he also had a fork up his sleeve, and when they get out, Aeryn says she will sabotage the ship. John asks her how does he know he can trust her, and she replies it's just another thing he doesn't know. They take her prowler down to the planet. Crais receives a message from Aeryn, revealing she was captured and has the being from the white pod with her.  D'Argo tells Zhaan that he was just told Aeryn and John escaped, and Crais' full Command Carrier is on its way. D'Argo gets Rygel and the transport pod takes off. Aeryn says she must recapture the prisoners, when D'Argo appears to get them. Crichton says the Peacekeepers are on their way, when Crais appears with soldiers, who capture D'Argo. Crais approaches John and asks who he is. Aeryn says he's a human from a planet called "earp", and Crais says he's and ally of the prisoners and his brother's murderer. Crichton says the near miss for him was an accident, but Crais replies it was no near miss for his brother. They take him prisoner. Aeryn steps up and says she's spent a short amount of time with him and believes him when he says it was an accident. She says he is not brave enough or intelligent enough to intentionally charge a prowler. Crais tells her she is "irreversibly contaminated".  The Peacekeeper guards find Crichton's father's good luck charm in his pocket, and whilst two guards argue over it Crichton grabs a gun. He gets the keys, and D'Argo and Aeryn want to be unlocked. He gets D'Argo to unlock him. He says they are now all criminals. He asks D'Argo if they can get him away from Crais, and take Aeryn too. D'Argo says he can handle Crichton, but not her. Crichton insists if she stays, they all stay, so D'Argo reluctantly agrees. Aeryn says she won't go, it was her breeding, a Peacekeeper is what she is. Crichton says she can be more.  They all return to Moya, and D'Argo says to enter the "Uncharted Territories". The Peacekeepers are 60 metras away and charging their cannon, and Aeryn reluctantly says their range is 45 metras. John says to Starburst again, but Moya needs to recharge. He then says to go back towards the planet; they can use his theory to escape, with Aeryn manually controlling Moya. The cannons miss, and they escape. John thanks Aeryn, and Zhaan thanks John. D'Argo says he needs to talk, and says that he spent 8 cycles aboard this Leviathan and he doesn't know who John is, but if he threatens his freedom he'll kill him. Aeryn appears and says they are a brutal and violent race, and that Crais hasn't forgotten him – he will pursue Crichton. She says he should choose his allegiances carefully. He then fixes the robot from earlier, and leaves a message for his father.

26/03/1999 - EXODUS FROM GENESIS (103) (49' 29")

Crichton has told D'Argo that he wants to brush his teeth, but this was a big mistake, since D'Argo stuffs a "dentic" down his throat to clean his them for him. The ship shudders suddenly, and has come close to what looks like asteroid debris. That is not the problem, though, since a Peacekeeper scout ship – a Marauder – is scanning Moya, but the debris is luckily blocking the scan. If the Peacekeepers discover Moya, Crais will know where she is and go after them, and although they can outrun a Marauder they cannot outrun a Command Carrier. The Marauder passes them by, as some of the "debris" lands on Moya!  Aeryn tells John that Moya was lucky to escape the ship. He says that no one wanted to be in this situation, but since they are they may as well get along, but she asks what she could possibly want from him. Meanwhile, Zhaan is helping Rygel clear up his quarters, and she paints a picture of him super-fast. Rygel is pleased with this "spirit painting", since it reminds him of his ancestor Rygel I, but the crew seem to be being watched.  Aeryn is getting hot, and D'Argo reports thermal fluctuations aboard Moya, which John confirms. A creature pricks Aeryn's arm, but she thinks it is just a metal splinter. As she and John leave the room, an arm picks up the splinter. All attempts to lower the temperature are being overwritten, and everyone wants to find the problem. Aeryn says she'll find it herself.  Zhaan is showing Crichton how to control the temperature on a tier, but he is getting frustrated since everything is all knew to him but he feels like everything he does is a test from D'Argo and Aeryn. Zhaan tells him that they are soldiers, so he should try and win their respect with actions. He returns to his quarters, where the hand takes a sample of his hair from a comb. He turns around and sees the bug, and manages to catch and kill one to use as a sample.  Zhaan conducts some tests on the creature's DNA, and discovers its DNA matches Crichton's. The creatures have block a room using some gooey sealant. Aeryn is getting more and more agitated, and D'Argo tells Crichton she is suffering from Sebacean Heat Delirium. Crichton meets Zhaan down a corridor, and she turns up the heat even more. When he tries to stop her, she attacks him and then throws up some sealant to keep the lever in place. He goes and finds Aeryn in command, and she does not speak to him either. She is also initiating a thermal increase, and attacks him when he tries to stop her. He grabs her and ends up pulling off her arm, as the real Aeryn walks in!  Crichton realises that Zhaan was also a duplicate, and everyone marks themselves so they can distinguish the real thing from the fakes. Aeryn begins losing her memory from the Delirium, and says she will go and help Pilot. Pilot tries to lower the temperature for her, but he can only manage a small drop.  Rygel, who is helping with the search, comes across the room where the creatures are incubating, and finds a nest. Zhaan discovers a substance that dissolves the sealant but a creature attacks her. Aeryn is almost unconscious now, and Rygel is not answering his comm.  A clone of himself attacks John, and in doing so the real John realises that the replicants can't speak. Rygel contacts them, and says more replicants are being produced all the time. Zhaan walks in, and starts speaking in an odd tone. She says she is the Monarch of the Drak, and they must die. It is using Zhaan's body to communicate, and says it needs warmth to give birth, before it can return to space. That is it's cycle, but they are threatening it. Crichton says it was he who made the first kill, but he didn't mean to. The Monarch says half of its young have been born, and it wants to raise the temperature even higher, but if it stays this warm Crichton says Moya and hence all of its offspring will die. They come to a deal – as long as no one moves about till genesis is complete, they will not be harmed. By this time, Aeryn should not have suffered any long-term damage.  However, a problem arises when the Peacekeeper Marauder boards Moya, and they kill a replicant of D'Argo, thinking it's a real Luxan. Pilot detects the weapons fire and alerts the crew. The PKs kill another D'Argo and a Zhaan, and John attempts to communicate with the Monarch to tell it they are not to blame. Aeryn tells John she can feel the living death on its way, and if it comes he must kill her.  Rygel is still in the chamber, but refuses to speak to the Monarch, so Zhaan asks him what Rygel I would do. He reluctantly speaks, and is granted an audience. The crew lose contact with him, and fear the worst, but Zhaan becomes the Monarch again and reveals that Rygel made a deal. The PKs kill a clone of Crichton, and a bug, causing the Monarch pain. Crichton convinces it to let them out of the room, and crank up the heat (to which Aeryn agrees).  Crichton and his clones surround the PKs who are weak from the heat, whilst Zhaan gives Aeryn a cold shower. D'Argo enters to kill the Peacekeepers, but Crichton says it's his turn. He tells the PKs to tell Crais that he picked the wrong species to mess with. The PKs attack Crichton, but he convinces them if he dies so will they and Crais, and they leave Moya.  D'Argo says to John that it was a hard gamble, risking Aeryn's life. Though there's very little chance, Crichton hopes that maybe Crais will leave them alone. Pilot reports that they are back at optimum temperature. The Draks leave, and the Monarch thanks the crew for their encounter, particularly Rygel, and also for completion of genesis.  Crichton carries Zhaan to her quarters, where she compliments him on his actions, and reminds him to keep his patience. She thinks he will get the hang of things soon. Crichton goes to Aeryn, who says she used to think lesser life forms should be squashed, but she now knows otherwise. Crichton realises she is talking about him, and she asks if he could have kept his promise, but he doesn't answer, saying worse things could have happened today.

02/04/1999 -BACK AND BACK AND BACK TO THE FUTURE (105) (48' 07")

The crew cannot agree on what to do about a ship close to Moya that is molecularly de-stabilising. They receive a distress call from a women aboard, similar in appearance to a Luxan, and they all agree to bring it aboard. They retrieve the crew, and when Crichton is in the escape pod he gets a shock. Then, when D'Argo speaks to him, he repeats himself over and over again...  The ship explodes, apparently due to a system malfunction. The "cargo" hasn't been damaged, and it is apparently scientific apparatus. The scientist is a male named Verell, the female Matala, and they are both Ilanics. They were on their way to rendezvous with a shuttle, and D'Argo quickly agrees to take them wherever, proclaiming "our ship is yours". Matala goes to show him the coordinates, when we see a flash of Crichton and Matala engaging in lewd conduct. Aeryn asks him what's wrong, but he decides to go and rest. Rygel says he expects some form of payment for helping them, but D'Argo says no – they are his friends. The Ilanics are genetic cousins of the Luxans, and they have been blood allies for over a thousand cycles. D'Argo says they will be extended every courtesy.  When D'Argo tells Verell that he is an escapee, Verell tells him he owes him his life, so he doesn't care what crime he committed. He tells D'Argo that the Ilanics are at war with a race called the Scorvians. Three cycles ago they unprovokingly attacked an Ilanic outpost, murdering over two million civilians, and it has been war ever since. The Luxans have gone far beyond the requirements of the mutual treaty to help the Ilanics. Meanwhile, Aeryn is examining the pod, when Matala appears and tells her she doesn't want her opening a hatch, since it contains over one cycles worth of data. Aeryn wants to continue, but D'Argo enters and Matala talks him into kicking her out of the pod.  Aeryn is suspicious that only two people would be doing research on a cruiser, when Crichton has another flash of himself and Matala. Aeryn says she does not trust Matala, or the effect she's having on the men, then Crichton has yet another flash.  D'Argo goes to see Verell, and reveals he has feelings for Matala. Verell says he should go for her, since she clearly wants him. Crichton interrupts their conversation and asks if Ilanic women use mind control or something to attract men. D'Argo asks why he wants to know, so Crichton explains the visions, and says they are real. D'Argo is angered and tells him they're fantasies and to remove her from his thoughts.  Suddenly, Crichton is with Aeryn, and she asks where D'Argo is, and if he's still acting like Verell and Matala's personal servant. Then he is back in the room where he was, so he gets up and walks out. In the corridor, Aeryn comes up to him and asks where D'Argo is, and if he's still acting like Verell and Matala's personal servant! He then realises he's having flashes of the future and returns to his quarters. There he has a flash where he and D'Argo find Verell dead, when Matala attacks and kills them both!  He goes to meet D'Argo before they enter the room, and says Matala will kill him. D'Argo believes he wants Matala and will say anything to have her. Verell comes out of the room and says Matala just left with Aeryn, and D'Argo goes in with him for tea. Crichton leaves and sees Aeryn and Matala in the corridor, and Matala mentions they are going to combat train together. They fight, and Aeryn knocks her down a couple of times. Matala knocks Aeryn down with a strange strike, then leaves. Zhaan catches her on the way out and asks for the real reason their ship exploded. Matala asks her about Crichton, but she says he is too complex for her. Zhaan goes to speak with Verell, who says the explosion can't happen on Moya.  Crichton goes to speak with Rygel, but has another flash, and finds Verell unconscious, but when Matala attacks, he is ready and blocks the attack, but returns to reality and falls face-first into Rygel's food, prompting Zhaan to ask what is wrong. Meanwhile Verell tells D'Argo that they were testing a weapon to help the Ilanics win the war. They say all it needs is a containment field to work, and D'Argo agrees to help them and keep it a secret.  Crichton has explained to Zhaan what has been happening to him, and she suggests he try to alter the future. He says if he stays in his room Matala could still kill Verell, and wonders why she would want to. He drops one of her masks that he has been holding, and it shatters. Crichton says that since Zhaan didn't fully believe Verell's story, it's time they know the truth.  He goes to see Verell but finds Matala instead. He picks up a plank to keep her away, and asks what really happened on the cruiser. She spots D'Argo entering the room and drops to the floor asking for help, as if Crichton struck her down. She says he knows the truth and has threatened to tell the others if she refuses to pleasure him. D'Argo draws his blade and stabs Crichton! Then, Matala gets up and kills Verell ands D'Argo with her death strike!  Back to the present, mask in hand, Crichton is back speaking to Zhaan. She again tells him to change the future, and he says he did but it made things worse. He accidentally drops the mask again, and explains the premonition. Aeryn enters, revealing Matala is not Ilanic at all, but rather a Scorvian! She must have been surgically altered. Crichton asks if she saw the death strike, and she says yes – the Scorvian neural stroke – and asks how he knows about it. He says he's seen the future, and he thinks D'Argo knows what the research is. Aeryn says to ask him, but Crichton says no – D'Argo thinks too highly of them. Zhaan says to try and separate them. Pilot tells them the phase imbalance on Moya is getting worse, so Aeryn suggests getting D'Argo to help, so they do. She says one Ilanic will stay behind to watch the pod. Crichton stumbles across D'Argo and Matala, and D'Argo asks her why they can't tell the others what they were doing. Matala says they can't trust them, and asks D'Argo to join them as soldiers in the Ilanic war. He says he can't because of the crimes he was imprisoned for, and no one on board knows really what it was.  Crichton asks Verell what he was really doing, since he knows Verell lied, and that Matala is a Scorvian agent. He says that ever since he got zapped in the pod, he has had future flashes. Verell says it's temporal dislocation – he must have been exposed to the quantum singularity. They've been storing a small particle of a black hole, which Verell says is the ultimate weapon. Matala attacks Crichton, and he calls for Aeryn, but Matala knocks everyone down and gets in the pod. Aeryn shoots at it as it lifts off, destroying everything including Moya!  Crichton is now back with Zhaan again, mask in hand. Again she tells him to alter the future events. He realises he's back, and stomps on the mask. Aeryn enters saying she found something out, but Crichton says he knows – Matala is a Scorvian agent. She's confused so Zhaan explains the premonitions. Aeryn says to confront them, but Crichton says it won't work. Zhaan says separate them, but that won't work either. He recognises D'Argo is the key, and they have to get Matala away and try something new.  Zhaan goes and asks D'Argo to speak with Rygel, since he's presented a bill for the Ilanics. He's mad and goes with her alone, but instead finds Crichton and Aeryn waiting in command. They explain the premonitions, but he thinks they are just trying to distance him from them. Crichton wants to speak to him alone, and tells him that in the future he tells Matala that he can't go with her because of the crime he committed – not the one he told everyone but the secret, true crime. He says Matala is the real enemy and he's sorry to hurt him. The Ilanic cruiser has arrives for the rendezvous, but they cannot be sure of who's aboard. D'Argo says Ilanics look nothing like Scorvians – if they don't make visual contact they have their answer. Sure enough, the "Ilanics" have a comm. malfunction, and can't make visual contact.  D'Argo and Crichton confront Matala and Verell, asking who she really is. She pulls a knife and stabs Verell. She attacks Crichton and then D'Argo before escaping in the pod. Verell opens the hatch remotely, releasing the black whole and Moya Starbursts just before the pod and cruiser are crushed.  Crichton then goes to have some food. D'Argo comes in, and Crichton tries to talk to him, but he doesn't want to talk about Matala, his personal life or his crime. He apologises for falling for a female during a crisis – but it's been too long. Crichton says he can definitely understand that!

09/04/1999 -THRONE FOR A LOSS (104) (48' 11")

A group of Tavleks are on their way towards Moya. The crew intend to deal with them, carrying some of their cargo for money. Rygel will be the negotiator for the deal. Crichton attempts to talk Aeryn out of carrying a gun to the transport hangar, but she refuses to go without one. The Tavleks board with guns raised, and we have a heist! A fight ensues, and after the gunfire Pilot manages to shut the hangar door, stopping an unconscious Tavlek from leaving, but Crichton notices that Rygel's been bagged!  Crichton wants Pilot to go after the shuttle, but D'Argo says it's Rygel's own fault and they will break orbit. He throws a huge barrel across command, and the crew realise something is wrong. They notice he is wearing one of the Tavlek's gauntlets and it is injecting something into him. He announces that he is now in charge, and knocks John, Zhaan and Aeryn down in one blow. Zhaan goes and awakes the young Tavlek, who reveals the gauntlet is injecting D'Argo with a stimulant, but it can only be removed when you are knocked unconscious, so Zhaan concocts some sleep mist to knock him out.  Pilot receives a transmission from the planet, and the Tavlek leader, Bekhesh, wants to talk. He sets the ransom for Rygel, and says the crew has one day or their king dies. Crichton and Aeryn make use of the sleep mist, but it doesn't knock out D'Argo since the gauntlet just increases his injection. The two run away, and get Pilot to build up the ship's pressure and then release it, knocking D'Argo out in the process so the gauntlet comes off.  Meanwhile, Rygel has been locked in a prison cell on the planet, and makes some idol threats at Bekhesh, awaking the prisoner in the adjacent cell – Jotheb from the Consortium of Trao – and they give each other formal introductions. Moya now has a propulsion systems failure because Rygel borrowed a vital crystal (without which the ship will lose orbit and cannot move) without permission for use in his sceptre.  D'Argo is asleep from the effects of the stimulant, and Aeryn wants to go down to the planet to recover the crystal. Crichton doesn't want to however, so she punches him, knocking him unconscious, and takes him down in the prowler. John wakes up and is not a happy human. Meanwhile Zhaan is still with the boy, and gives him Crichton's spacesuit to cover up, since Aeryn had to borrow his outfit. He thinks that Zhaan just wants to see him naked, so flashes her, but she is not taken aback and shows him her beautiful blue body, then is alerted that D'Argo is awake and wants to help her and Pilot.  Down on the planet Crichton and Aeryn come across a Tavlek hunting party and Aeryn decides she needs to force them to tell her where Rygel is, so she puts on the gauntlet. She attacks them and gets the information, but Crichton overloads the pulse rifle, causing a distraction and prompting D'Argo to go down to the planet.  Zhaan goes to the boy's cell and he attacks her and makes her arm bleed (the blood is white), so she kisses him with her blood to reduce his withdrawal, and she eases his pain at the same time. On the planet, Aeryn refuses to let Crichton remove the gauntlet and attacks him. D'Argo arrives on the planet and manages to knock her unconscious with his tongue.  Rygel, with Jotheb's help, manages to get halfway out the cell, but Bekhesh notices and chokes him to death! All is not lost, though, since Jotheb revives Rygel and says the Consortium of Trao will pay his ransom. Jotheb says that since he revived Rygel he and his 600 billion subjects are all part of the Consortium. Rygel laughs at him, telling him he was a Dominar, but now has nothing since he was deposed and imprisoned, and is now travelling with the prisoners who have nothing. This angers Jotheb.  Crichton finds the Tavlek camp, and everyone appears to be asleep, and when he tells the others they decide to attack. D'Argo gives Aeryn his Qualta Rifle to cover him and Crichton while they attack. On Moya, Zhaan feeds the boy, and he questions how she helped take away the pain. She responds that being a ninth level Delvian Pa'u allows her to share other beings' pain. She says she thinks that there is more to him without the gauntlet, but all he wants is the gauntlet back.  D'Argo and Crichton find the prison cell, and Jotheb in it, and they find the sceptre - but the crystal is missing. Jotheb reveals that the Tavleks have moved Rygel to a secure location. On their way out, they are greeted by the Tavleks, but Aeryn manages to divert them. They escape, but D'Argo is bleeding! Since the blood is dark red/black if they do not cleanse the wound he will die. To cleanse it they must keep the blood flowing freely until it runs clear, so Aeryn begins pounding him. Zhaan tells John the requested location of the Tavlek shuttle, but Aeryn says it's too far away. Crichton puts on the gauntlet, and races to get Rygel.  Zhaan confronts the boy who has attempted to escape, and uses her extreme strength to overcome him, locking him back up.  Crichton ambushes the Tavleks en route to the shuttle. He knocks out three of them, and he and Bekhesh fight, but Crichton's stimulant runs out. He manages to talk his way out of the situation by telling the truth (after lies fail) that Rygel is worthless. Bekhesh speaks to the boy, who reveals that Moya has no valuables; all they've done to him is try and help him. Bekhesh returns Rygel, who says he swallowed the crystal so they had to come for him. Back on Moya, he regurgitates it and returns it to Aeryn. Zhaan contacts the boy, who is once again wearing the gauntlet, despite her efforts.

16/04/1999 - PK TECH GIRL (107) (48' 13")

Moya comes across a Peacekeeper ship lying dead in space. Crichton and Zhaan wish to leave while they have the chance, but D'Argo wants to check their data for possible charts back to their home worlds, and Aeryn says she needs to know who she is. Rygel says it's the Zelbinion – the most feared ship in the Peacekeeper armada. They dock with it and Aeryn, Crichton and D'Argo go over to investigate. They search around the ship, but at the same time Rygel is bothered about having it docked, because it was the first ship he was tortured on.  Crichton comes across a console with the lights on, and Aeryn says someone must have turned it on recently. He spots a young woman who tries to run, but Aeryn and D'Argo attack until Crichton stops them. The PK, Gilina, recognises them as Officer Aeryn Sun and the escaped prisoners. Crichton asks how she knows, and Aeryn replies that she's a tech, from Crais' ship!  Aeryn questions her in brute Peacekeeper fashion, but Crichton says to give her a break. Aeryn says she's a tech, she's from Crais' ship – he is nearby and she will lie to them. Crichton agrees, but says that if she drops, she won't get her answers. Aeryn says it's her world, and he should not interfere. Meanwhile Rygel still refuses to go over to the Zelbinion, so Zhaan tells him he should confront his demons. Gilina tells the others that Crais sent her unit over, and two days later another ship appeared and incinerated their Marauder. D'Argo says it's the Sheyangs, but they couldn't have done it all. There are no records though because the ship's data stores were scavenged. Gilina then thanks Crichton for stopping Aeryn from killing her.  Rygel then appears on the Zelbinion, and spits in Gilina's face, showing his hatred of Peacekeepers. He goes off looking around and sees an ominous figure that says hello, and welcomes him home. The others come across a dead body – a Sheyang victim, who was part of Gilina's unit. Aeryn recognises him and asks what he was doing guarding the likes of her. She says that Aeryn's whole unit was demoted after her defection and can only be reinstated upon her death. Pilot meanwhile has spotted a ship, which Zhaan confirms as a Sheyang vessel hiding just outside sensor range.  Aeryn asks Gilina why the Sheyangs are back, and calls her a traitor because she knew they would return. Gilina says she is no traitor, and Crichton breaks it up, telling Gilina that Aeryn is no traitor – but Crais gave her no chance like the one they are giving her. She tells them that she hid while the Sheyangs took everything.  D'Argo returns to command where Zhaan is anxious to leave since Moya has no offence. D'Argo says that where the Sheyangs see strength they flee, where they see weakness they destroy. Crichton, Aeryn and Gilina are trying to get the Zelbinion's defence screen operational, and Crichton seems to understand what Gilina is trying to do. The Sheyangs begin their weapons countdown, and Pilot says he and Moya are afraid of fire. D'Argo is enraged though, and Zhaan gets Pilot to transmit the image of him screaming to the Sheyangs. When they see the Luxan, they terminate the countdown. Crichton informs everyone that they can get the defence screen working in four arns since he can do half the work. D'Argo tells Zhaan he doesn't want to continue lying to an enemy in battle. Zhaan says he is just misleading them and it can only be him who continues the charade.  Gilina mentions that Crichton killed Crais' brother, but he tells her it was really an accident. The Sheyangs do not believe that D'Argo has soldiers with him who are aboard the Zelbinion. Zhaan helps by prompting him, but the Sheyang says he's trying his patience and D'Argo believes their next conversation will spawn an attack.  Crichton and Gilina are getting close, whilst Rygel is still hiding on Moya having visions of his torturer: Captain Selto Durka. Zhaan tells him Durka is dead, but Rygel says not to him; Zhaan says he must find Durka's corpse because it will set him free. One of the Sheyangs overthrows the leader, Teurac, and orders them to fire on Moya. Crichton, Gilina and Aeryn manage to get the defence screen active just in time so the weapon has no effect.  However, Pilot informs them that the screen is not fully operational, it's two systems overlaid – only one is operational. At first reluctant, Gilina agrees to install the other part of the screen on Moya. Later she and Crichton are talking, when they end up kissing as Aeryn walks in! She is clearly angered but tries not to show it. Crichton goes after her, and he asks if she's ever just "clicked" with someone and she says that at first she found him "interesting", but only for a moment – clearly a shocking revelation for Crichton!  The Sheyangs launch a load of pods, trying to breach the holes in the defence screen. They manage to get it active just in time, but one Sheyang managed to breach it. Aeryn finds him, but he shoots a fireball from his mouth! He goes and burns down the door to the room where Crichton and Gilina are working, and gets in. He shoots a fireball, but Aeryn manages to get there in time, and shoot him making him explode.  Back on Moya, Crichton wants the others to let Gilina stay and get picked up by Crais, but the others don't want to give Crais another reason to come after them. Crichton says he's going to come one day anyway, and promises D'Argo and Zhaan that Gilina will keep their presence a secret, and Aeryn surprisingly agrees. She says that Gilina could also be deemed irreversibly contaminated, the penalty for which is death, or worse – exile. Aeryn says she's smarter than letting Crais know.  The Sheyangs detect that Crais' Command Carrier is on its way at maximum speed, and D'Argo tells them he is sorry they are leaving – his officers were preparing revenge. Sheyang says he knows he has nothing, but he used it well.  Aeryn tells Gilina that Crais will ask her many questions, and she says she will lie to him. Aeryn says she wishes she'd been that smart. Gilina shakes her hand, and Aeryn is clearly upset at thinking about the life she once had. Gilina says to Crichton that she will never see him again, but he says yes they will see each other again someday, and they have a nice big kiss.  Crichton goes to see Aeryn, who says she hates to be ambushed. He says she got him in the end, but she says she didn't mean the Sheyang. On her world showing pain is a sign of weakness, and he should not presume to understand her. He says that though she always bashes him for being weak all the time, this time it's an advantage – he knows how she feels. He asks what it would be like for him if one day he finally gets to return home and found his dad, friends and all his family dead. She says she stand corrected.

23/04/1999 - THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY...AGAIN (106) (48' 07")

Crichton is hiding from D'Argo, who is in "Luxan Hyper Rage". He's been off the ship for three days but no one could find Crichton because he was hiding so well the whole time. The rage makes him angry and he's after Crichton just because he's another male. Everyone goes down to the planet below to get him. They enter a bar and Crichton spots him – and runs! D'Argo catches him and hugs him, saying it's so good to see him.  D'Argo tells Aeryn he's been labouring, and everything is OK. He says he is no longer a warrior, and here his efforts have a purpose, then a female draws him away. A lady named Volmae welcomes them to the planet, saying she's the Sykaran leader and they should stay as long as they want. On their way out a woman approaches Crichton and tells him that no matter what, he must not leave. Crichton is baffled, but they all find Rygel screaming near an explosion and saying someone's dropped a bomb and is trying to assassinate him while he was relieving himself.  Aeryn and Rygel return to Moya, whilst Crichton and Zhaan visit D'Argo's house. They say something odd is happening here, and they want him to return to Moya. However he says they can stay as long as they like, and goes to his room where his girlfriend awaits. On Moya, there are explosions emanating from Rygel's quarters, and Aeryn finds him there sweating. She contacts Crichton saying that Rygel's bodily fluids have turned explosive. He tells her to run tests, and to get Pilot to help.  The next day, D'Argo tells Crichton that there will be a celebration tonight since tomorrow is a rest day, and goes off to work. Zhaan and Crichton accompany him, and Crichton notices the woman from yesterday, and goes to speak to her, but he is pulled in to a carriage and the Sykarans put a worm in his stomach (through his belly button)! They say he should eat, because it will make him ill. Meanwhile Zhaan asks D'Argo if he really wants to spend the rest of his life this way, and she finds the food very satisfying...  Aeryn and Pilot have frozen Rygel, and Pilot needs her to examine him. She reluctantly agrees. Zhaan and D'Argo return home to find Crichton laid out ill, and Zhaan starts saying how wonderful this place is. Crichton realises Zhaan is now like D'Argo so he can't tell her what happened. They all go to the celebration, and the woman, Tanga, gets Crichton again. Her father says the worm thrives on the toxin in the tannot root, so it will keep him immune from the effects. They say he has to act as if he is affected or else the others will kill him. Volmae comes to speak with him, so he acts as if he is content. She is very interested in his ship.  Aeryn doesn't want to perform the surgery on Rygel because she finds it too difficult. Pilot says he also finds it difficult and doesn't always understand science either. He has to study and work at it, but he still only understands a fraction of it. He's told this to no one but her, because he feels he can trust her. She does the tests, with a little help from Pilot, and lets Crichton know that the food caused his bodily fluids to turn explosive, and she's flushing out the toxins now.  Later, Crichton grabs Tanga and asks how he can remove the worm. She says that the "others" brought the food here; they return every half a cycle to collect the food. Volmae was selected as their leader and has the worm. Her father is ill, and she fears he will die soon.  At the celebration, Volmae invites Crichton to go for a walk. She asks him what it's like out in space, since her people never aspired to travel into space. She asks if his ship's cargo hold could carry some of the tannot root, so she can sell it off since it must be valuable. She tells Crichton to bring the other two from his ship down to the planet so they can start loading it up. Crichton notices the markings on the wall are the Peacekeeper insignia.  Aeryn and Rygel join Crichton on the planet. She says he looks terrible, and he says they need to find a secluded spot. She says she wants to get Zhaan and D'Argo and return to Moya, but Crichton says it'll only happen of Volmae orders it, and tells her of her plan to use Moya. Crichton has bit of a go at her, but she is very proud of what she accomplished with Rygel.  Volmae orders Crichton to bring her Aeryn and Rygel, but he refuses and tells her to step outside. He says he wants D'Argo and Zhaan back, which enrages Volmae. Zhaan and D'Argo question his actions, saying this is their home and if necessary D'Argo will kill him to protect it. Crichton calls for Rygel, who does his exploding pee routine, and Crichton says that demonstration was fuelled by the tannot – the same thing that fuels the pulse rifle. D'Argo realises it's the Peacekeepers. Volmae says it's used for food, but Crichton says they're lying to her, and Aeryn says when mixed like it is in Rygel's body, it produces shakan oil, which fuels all Peacekeeper weapons. Volmae says this doesn't matter, but Crichton says that the Peacekeepers will come eventually, and D'Argo says when they do the Sykarans cannot win. Volmae says the Peacekeepers are controlling her, and her people. Crichton says no – it's her doing the controlling and it's her decision, they can all start rebuilding from tomorrow if she wants, and after a plea from Tango's father she says no, not tomorrow – tomorrow is a real rest day.  Back on Moya, Aeryn removes the worm from Crichton, and tells him and Rygel to stop sulking about their pains, since Pilot wants to Starburst away. Crichton asks Rygel what's up with her, and he says she thinks she's a scientist now. She retorts that she is happy that she triumphed for once using her mind. Crichton says that it doesn't have to be just this once, and Aeryn thanks him for his assistance. Meanwhile D'Argo is speaking with Zhaan and says maybe he's destined to never be happy, but she argues that he was for five glorious days. He says that as a boy he dreamed of two different futures: 1. He becomes a magnificent warrior, 2. Of living a simple life. She says dreams can't be found – they have to be built – and his hands are still strong so there is plenty of time.

07/05/1999 -I, E.T. (102) (48' 11")

A siren is a blazing on tier seven of Moya, and on location of the source, Pilot manages to neutralize the sound, which is causing John's eye to twitch. Aeryn says it's a Paddac Beacon, and it broadcasts a beacon if it doesn't receive a signal from the control collar. If a Peacekeeper ship is in the vicinity, then it will know where they are. John suggests they land on a nearby planet to use the water as insulation. It has never been tried, but everyone agrees. After a rocky trip, Moya lands, but begins to sink!  Pilot manages to stop the sinking, but they still need to get out the beacon. Rygel is the only one small enough to get to it, but Pilot says it will cause Moya great pain since it's near her neural net, so Zhaan suggests a local anaesthetic. Pilot says they could use clorium, one of the Leviathan's forbidden cargos, as it will numb Moya. Aeryn is still down about her separation from the Peacekeepers, but John reminds her he has also lost his home, so they go to the planet along with D'Argo to find the element. There are only scattered sources of clorium close to Moya, so when a vehicle ambushes them D'Argo and Aeryn provide a distraction for John to go and search for a concentrated source.  Zhaan asks Pilot how the Peacekeepers snuck a beacon on board without him or Moya knowing. He says that when they capture a Leviathan, they administer a sleep agent while they put on the control collar and make any modifications. Moya needs the clorium soon or she will sink.  John discovers a barn that resembles something from Earth, when a young boy enters and asks why he is here, and what does he want. The boy realises he is from space, and says his name is Fostro. He runs away to get his mother, Lyneea. She is amazed and scared at the sight of Crichton, so John introduces himself, but she still can't believe she is speaking to an alien. She gets ready to alert the authorities, but John persuades her not to, saying he is not alone and they chose to contact her.  On Moya, Zhaan flatters Rygel in an attempt to talk him into removing the beacon. On the planet, Aeryn disagrees with D'Argo's strategies.  John explains to Lyneea that his ship is not far away and they are looking for something, but she is still weary since she has never encountered aliens before. He says he knows how she feels, that aliens would be much more different compared to her own race, yet not all of them are.  Rygel is ready to start the procedure, and Zhaan joins with Moya in preparation to share her pain. Aeryn and D'Argo meanwhile cannot believe that this planet reminds John of home, and D'Argo remarks that their ways are savage. Aeryn's getting tired of waiting so she returns to Moya whilst D'Argo leaves to search for John.  Lyneea reveals that she works for the military, on the look out for extra-terrestrial life, but the military does not believe it exists. She is mainly keeping John a secret because she doesn't know how they will treat him. The food she made apparently contains a trace of clorium, but on closer inspection John finds a large concentration of clorium in a small container (it looks as though it's like their salt). The military arrive at the house, so Fostro hides John.  Rygel's procedure is causing Moya great pain, and Rygel stops when a blackout occurs, noticing Zhaan unconscious and Pilot unreachable on the comm. Zhaan soon wakes, and Pilot informs them that Moya is collapsing.  The military commander, Ryymax, wonders why Lyneea is so nervous, so she says she wants to check her readings before she confirms the sighting was a "U.E.O.". She sends Fostro out to speak to Ryymax, and John tells her he needs to let the ship know about the clorium if he is going to be captured.  Aeryn arrives back on Moya, and Rygel says they need to take off before they sink, and Zhaan says they must remove the beacon. Aeryn tries to force Rygel, but he bites a chunk out of her arm. Zhaan sends Aeryn out, and says that Rygel is afraid. He says he has always had people do everything for him, even when he was imprisoned. Zhaan says they'll face the pain they all feel together. She tells Aeryn that she only shared some of Moya's pain, but Aeryn says she is only concerned that Zhaan can help Moya.  John explains to Lyneea about wormholes, and she knows what he means, but they call them "ribbon holes". John manages to pick up Pilot on a monitor, when they realise Ryymax has captured another alien – D'Argo! Ryymax tells Lyneea that she and Fostro must leave since it is not safe for them. John explains to her that he was on a prison ship, so she tells him to leave before it's too late, but he won't leave without D'Argo.  Lyneea shows Ryymax Pilot, and she says she has a fix on the origin of the signal. Fostro finds John's comm. on the floor of the barn, distracting the guards so John can knock them out and set D'Argo free. Lyneea has sent Ryymax to a place far away from Moya, and they say goodbye and D'Argo and John leave.  Back on Moya, Pilot says she can't lift off because of the pain of the procedure. Rygel finishes the job, and John gives him the clorium. Moya lifts off and the journey continues...

D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel pit themselves against one another in a battle to decide which map stays. At the same time, Crichton battles Nam Tar to rescue Aeryn from the grasps of the evil scientist who has turned her into a host body for one of his deadly genetic experiments.

The rest of the crew is alerted to their plight by a Zenetan defector who offers to guide D'Argo through the Flax. However, the guide navigates poorly and his craft is soon caught in the net as well. As the pirate commander searches for the defector, it is up to Zhaan and Rygel to distract him long enough for D'Argo and the defector to free their ship, rescue Aeryn and Crichton and return to Moya.

Crichton realises all of them have been dreaming of the past and lost loves and Pilot figures out that Moya had gone to the aid of another pregnant Leviathan.  But there isn't one. It's all a series of illusions to bring Zhaan to this place, the so-called New Moon of Delvia.  Zhaan's fellow priests have fled the real Delvia, now under Peacekeeper control, and ostensibly have come here to continue their religion. Specifically, to avoid surrending to the dark and sinister side of themselves.  New leader of the group, Tahleen, wants Zhaan's help to teach her how to control this dangerous side, to surrender to it when necessary and yet to keep one's sanity.  It's just a little help, the "tiniest seed", for her sister priests.
