11. According to YouTube automatic captions, the episode opens with Commandant Grayza presenting an offer of peace to Scarran Emperor Staleek and warning him that continued refusal will lead the Peacekeepers to build more wormhole weapons. John Crichton then presents himself to Staleek as a broker willing to sell wormhole technology in exchange for payment, and describes the device he has brought as a plutonium core wrapped in a tritium shell. Crichton tells the Scarrans that the bomb is wired to multiple dead man's sensors and that any change in his heart rate or physical condition will trigger it, a claim that Scarran Minister of War Ahkna suspects is a bluff meant to cover a real attempt to extract Scorpius.
