6. Summary
7. Aboard the living ship Moya, Chiana buys a new passenger called Talikka from traders and brings her on board. According to YouTube automatic captions, the crew begin to act on impulses they would normally keep in check, and tensions rise between John Crichton and Aeryn Sun over a secret he has been keeping.
8. Plot

10. According to YouTube automatic captions, after the traders leave, the crew find that their normal restraints are slipping: small irritations flare into arguments, and John Crichton's ongoing use of Noranti's distillate of laka to suppress his feelings for Aeryn Sun becomes a fresh point of conflict between them once she learns he has been lying to her about it, and she hits him.
