9. What happens in "Liars, Guns and Money, Part 2: With Friends Like These"?
10. The episode opens with a "previously on Farscape" recap noting that D'Argo's son is being sold in a lot of ten thousand slaves. The heist goes ahead, and the crew secures enough wealth in ingots to buy the slave lot. D'Argo grieves that his son has been enslaved and that they will have no money left after the purchase.
11. Crichton misses the slave auction and discovers that the lot has been sold to a private buyer. Scorpius then contacts him, demands his surrender and threatens that D'Argo's son will die if Crichton does not comply. The crew plans to recruit four allies: a Vorcarian blood tracker, a Shang, a Tavvid and the Zenetan pirates.

12. Inside his own head, Crichton starts a conversation with the Scorpius neural clone that lives there. Scorpius, meanwhile, tells an officer that Crichton will be given no more than a microbent necessary to formulate his plan. Aboard Moya, living creatures infest the ship's interior and begin eating its metal, and Zhaan warns that they are devouring Moya and risking a hull breach.
