7. Plot
8. The episode opens with a narration by John Crichton describing his accidental journey through a wormhole and his wish to return to Earth. Aeryn, Sikozu, Chiana and Noranti enter a commerce settlement built inside the carcass of a dead Leviathan, intending to acquire a sensor distorter that can disguise Moya. According to YouTube automatic captions, the women take cover in a service booth run by Marella, a Nebari who uses pressure on the milla nerve to paralyse customers she is displeased with. According to YouTube automatic captions, Separately, Aeryn and Sikozu watch from a distance as Commandant Grayza meets privately with a Scarran delegation led by War Minister Ahkna, a ruling-caste Scarran accompanied by four Charrid escorts in an arrangement that mirrors the Peacekeeper presence at the settlement. According to YouTube automatic captions, Aeryn proposes assassinating Grayza to end the deal and then running if the Scarrans retaliate, while Sikozu argues that the wiser course is to leak the meeting to Peacekeeper High Command so that the two sides turn on each other.
9. Memorable quotes
10. What if I were to offer you... the Luxan Territories?
11. I doubt we could talk her out of it, Aeryn. I wasn't thinking about talking. I have a gun. You would assassinate Grayza? She'd do the same to us.
12. You would never get your Council to support such a treaty. A majority of the Counselors already support me. They are ready for a change of leadership. You would seize power? For the greater good.
13. Aeryn Sun, exceptional work. And congratulations on your Luxan treaty. For that alone, I shall kill you both.
