13. What happens in "We're So Screwed (Part 3): La Bomba"?
14. The episode opens with a "Previously on Farscape" recap describing how Scorpius may have been captured and outlining the plan to walk into a Scarran base, start a civil war and extract him. In a voiceover early on, John Crichton recounts being shot through a wormhole three years earlier and stranded aboard a living ship with escaped prisoners.
15. Scorpius tells Crichton that the Scarrans cultivate a flower called crystherium whose power they can only propel forward from a handful of locations, and that destroying the flowers would set them back hundreds of cycles. He claims that his neural clone Harvey has returned because Crichton betrayed their agreement, a charge Crichton rejects. Scorpius also warns Crichton that a working bomb is now on board and that he should plan on being nearby when it goes off.
16. Officer Ahkna's forces tell the crew that 400 Scarran Scramler cannons are trained on them and that any non-Scarran vessels will be targeted. Under the truce, Ahkna tells Crichton, the Scarrans must release him but will not let him leave with the others. When the crew return to their commandeered craft, they discover that someone has been inside and suspect that a homing beacon or a bomb may have been planted.
17. A character explains that the Stark the crew is looking for has been replaced by a bioduplicate planted by Emperor Staleek. Commander Grayza then offers Crichton his freedom in exchange for leaving Scorpius behind with her.
