8. On board the living ship Moya, John Crichton tells his fellow travelers that he is an astronaut who went through a wormhole and is lost in a distant part of the universe among strange alien life forms. Over Pilot's and Zhaan's objections, he steers the Farscape module into a destabilising wormhole in an attempt to return to Earth.
9. Crichton emerges over the Australian outback and crash-lands, where he meets a man named Wilson who insists they met before during module testing in the United States. Wilson tells Crichton's father Jack that the Pentagon has set up a Global Alliance unit to track the wormhole and that Wilson has been put in charge of it.
10. An unidentified ship on the same trajectory as the module approaches Earth, and Crichton warns the military not to fire on it.
