I, E.T. - Episode 10102
A passive alarm deep within Moya activates, emitting
a Peacekeeper tracking signal. Unable to shut it off, Pilot lands Moya
on a nearby earth-like planet where swampy waters muffle the signal. The
alarm, embedded in Moya's Neural Nexus, can be removed but it will be an
immensely painful process for her. Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo venture onto
the planet to search for Clorium, an anaesthetizing element. After a run-in
with the frightened locals searching for the spaceship, our trio splits
up. D'Argo and Aeryn stage a diversion that draws away their pursuers.
Crichton continues searching for Clorium but is discovered by a young local
boy, Fostro, and his mother Lyneea. As the local astronomer and UFO enthusiast,
Lyneea is shocked to finally come face to face with alien life, something
she has long searched for. She gives Crichton the Clorium, but before he
can return with it, the Military descends on Lyneea's farm and D'Argo is
captured. Crichton has to choose between abandoning D'Argo to certain death,
or risking Moya's survival.
Exodus From Genesis - Episode 10103
After narrowly evading a scout ship from Crais' Command
Carrier, Crichton discovers Moya has been invaded by Draks: giant space
cockroaches. Crichton manages to catch and kill one of the creatures; Zhaan's
tests reveal the Drak has the same DNA as Crichton. It appears the Draks
have taken DNA samples of everyone, and are using the genetic code to create
replicants who try to overpower the crew. Meanwhile, Moya's temperature
is rising. Aeryn begins to succumb to Sebacean Heat Delirium and is threatened
by 'The Living Death'. The crew force Rygel into the area the beetles have
sealed off and the Monarch of the Draks speaks to them through Zhaan; they
want their nest left alone until they complete their breeding cycle. The
crew agrees, and in return the Monarch will lower Moya's temperature, giving
Aeryn a chance of survival. But when Peacekeeper Commandos invade the ship,
the Monarch believes she has been betrayed. Only Rygel's negotiating skill
convinces her they have a common enemy.
Throne For A Loss - Episode 10104
Rygel uses a gem-like crystal essential to Moya to impress
the Tavleks while trying to broker a deal. Although pretending to trade,
these battle-scarred renegades' real business is kidnapping hostages for
ransom, and the crew is helpless to prevent them from taking Rygel by force.
During the kidnap, Kyr, one of the Tavleks, is knocked unconscious releasing
his gauntlet - a powerful weapon that locks on to the forearm and pumps
in drugs to heighten the wearer's aggression and euphoria. D'Argo dons
the gauntlet in an attempt to save Rygel but finds himself unwilling to
take it off as the drug takes hold. The crew knock D'Argo unconscious and
the gauntlet detaches itself. While Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo go down
to the planet to try and rescue Rygel, Zhaan tries to help Kyr deal with
his withdrawal symptoms from the powerful drug. While being kept hostage,
Rygel does such a good job of convincing the Tavleks of his importance
they decide to ship him off the planet. Crichton has no alternative but
to also don the gauntlet if he is to save Rygel and retrieve the crystal
before both are lost forever.
Back And Back And Back To The Future - Episode 10105
Two lone Ilanic scientists (genetic cousins to Luxans)
are rescued from their sub-atomically disintegrating Cruiser and brought
on board Moya. During the rescue, Crichton is exposed to a mysterious force
that jolts him back and forth in time. While Verell tries to discover exactly
what caused their Cruiser to be destroyed, the sensuous Matala dazzles
D'Argo. Aeryn is less certain of her motivations for seduction, and Crichton
realizes that his moments in the future have allowed him to see Matala's
true nature. She is a deadly Scorvian spy, intent on killing Verell and
stealing the secret weapon for their bitter war against the Ilanics. Verrell's
weapon uses a black hole, and the crew are desperate to avoid the destruction
that Matala's treachery will cause if the weapon is released. Crichton
tries to change his actions in the present to make sure that Moya and crew
remains safe in the future but only ends up making things worse.
Thank God It's Friday. Again - Episode 10106
The crew visit the planet Sykar to search for D'Argo
who left Moya in a state of Luxan hyper-rage. They find him in work clothes,
grimy from labor, but convinced that he's found utopia: a life of working
in the fields of Tannot root. Volmae, the ethereal leader of the Sykarans,
keeps her people subservient through the euphoric effect of the Tannot.
While there, an explosion convinces Rygel that he's the victim of an assassination
attempt. Aeryn takes him back to Moya while Zhaan and Crichton try to persuade
D'Argo to leave Sykar. But Zhaan too comes under the influence of the Tannot.
Following both to the fields, Crichton has a run-in with members of the
Sykaran resistance movement, who force a live worm into his belly. This
protects him from the effects of the Tannot and he realizes the rest of
the population is deluded into believing their laborious life is idyllic.
Aeryn's experiments on Rygel's explosive bodily fluids reveal the Tannot
is actually the basis for the fuel for Peacekeeper weapons, and the Sykarans
are being enslaved to produce Peacekeeper munitions. Crichton is determined
to rescue his crewmates and puts Rygel's reactive bodily functions to good
use.

Crew sent by Captain Crais and slaughtered by the Sheyangs - violent scavenger
aliens that breath fire. Crichton and Gilina find themselves attracted
to one another, but must put their relationship on hold while the group
works together to fend off a second attack by the Sheyangs. While D'Argo

Maldis intends to pit Crichton against the man who so desperately wants
him dead: Captain Crais. Nothing Crichton says can convince Crais that
his brother Tauvo's death was an accident, and as they battle Maldis feeds
off the bad energy and grows in strength. Liko, a one-time priest, also
a victim of Maldis' powers, tells Aeryn, Zhaan and D'Argo of Crichton's
fate. Aeryn and D'Argo unsuccessfully attempt a physical assault on the

DNA Mad Scientist - Episode 10109
On an isolated asteroid, Moya's crew seeks out Namtar,
a genetic scientist who has found a way of providing star charts of the
home worlds, by examining the DNA of the subject. The price is high; Namtar
wants one of Pilot's four arms which D'Argo, Zhaan, and Rygel take by force.
Crichton, whose home is beyond Namtar's codes, and Aeryn who can never
return to the Peacekeeper world, are disgusted by the attack. As the others
quarrel about whose home to return to first, Aeryn asks Namtar to find
a colony where she can live in peace. But instead of taking a sample, he
injects her with Pilot's DNA and she starts to experience physical changes.
Her sense of sight and hearing become unbearably keen, her fingers fuse
together, and she starts to grow extra arms. Crichton turns to Namtar's
assistant, Kornata, for help to reverse the metamorphosis before Aeryn
fully evolves into a Pilot. Kornata reveals Namtar is the result of genetic
experiments out of control, and only she can turn this Frankenstein-like
creature back into the lab rat it once was.

experiencing fluctuations in Moya and soon is slumped over his console
unconscious. It appears Moya has taken over Pilot's functions, and the
DRDs are on alert. Trying to discover what D'Argo is suffering, the crew
plays out their "roles" of D'Argo's life to reveal his secret history:

In each of the Moyas he finds Aeryn, D'Argo and Rygel. A gigantic claw
ripping through the walls of Moya is also chasing him but as the claw markings

to discover an unseen enemy; a lethal virus living within a host body.
Virtually undetectable, the virus plays a deadly jumping game as it changes
host from Thonn to Chiana to Crichton. The commandos and Moya's renegade
crew must work together to recapture it, for if it remains in its infancy
stage, it can be stopped before breeding to hundreds of worlds. Zhaan injects
