According to YouTube (Farscape), Aeryn Sun has been captured and taken to a Scarran border station, where a Scarran captain seeks to extract John Crichton's wormhole knowledge from her unborn child.

8. Plot
9. The episode begins with Aeryn Sun imprisoned aboard a Scarran border station, where the Scarran captain Jenek subjects her to a procedure aimed at reaching Crichton's knowledge through her unborn child.
10. Meanwhile, Crichton, D'Argo, Rygel and Chiana are aboard Moya with Pilot, working from outside the station. They seed an infectious agent into the station's population in order to force a quarantine, reasoning that the Scarrans will not destroy a quarantined facility and will therefore be unable to transfer Aeryn away before they can act.
11. According to YouTube automatic captions, Once the disease takes hold among the station's inhabitants, the command structure begins to fracture as Scarrans and other prisoners fall ill at different rates. According to YouTube automatic captions, the crew exploits the resulting disorder to begin moving Aeryn out, but her weakened state and the continued presence of Jenek in the facility complicate the extraction.
