10. Summary
11. Aboard the living ship Moya, spawning space bugs invade and begin producing clones of the crew, while a Peacekeeper retrieval squad closes in and Aeryn Sun starts to suffer heat delirium.
12. Plot
13. According to YouTube automatic captions, the episode opens aboard Moya with John Crichton and Aeryn Sun arguing about an Earth-style toothbrushing routine that Aeryn considers inefficient. While scanning, Aeryn detects an object that at first looks like asteroid debris but moves under its own power and is identified as a Peacekeeper Marauder scout ship. According to YouTube automatic captions, the crew later spot a Marauder and, after assessing the threat, conclude that attacking would reveal their position to Captain Crais and that they cannot outrun a command carrier.
14. Crichton records a distress-style message describing how a radiation wave during an experiment shot him through a wormhole to a distant part of the universe aboard a living ship full of strange alien life forms. Zhaan shows Crichton a Delvian spirit painting she has done of him, and calls the resemblance to Rygel the Great a compliment to the spirit of his ancestor residing within him.
