8. What happens in "A Clockwork Nebari"?

9. The episode opens aboard Moya, where Pilot, Chiana and the others are gathered and Crichton tells Aeryn that she can yell at him later, according to the automatic transcript. A group of Nebari then abducts Chiana; their leader, a woman named Vara, tells the crew that Chiana must be delivered to Nebari control. The Nebari administer a mental cleansing drug to the crew and collar Pilot, because Pilot's species nullifies the cleansing process and so has to be contained by other means.

During the confrontation, Chiana confesses that she and Ner escaped Nebari Prime years earlier using exit permits whose meaning she only now understands, according to the automatic transcript.
