- Summary
- Stranded on an ice planet, the crew of Moya seeks help from Diagnosan Tocot, a renowned surgeon, who is to repair the ship's burns and attempt to remove the chip Scorpius has implanted in John Crichton's brain. According to YouTube automatic captions, Scorpius himself is closing on the planet, drawn by the chip's signal, and forces Crichton into a personal reckoning about what he is willing to sacrifice. According to YouTube automatic captions, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Crichton transported away and Pilot's treatment of Moya threatening the leviathan from within.
- Plot
- On a frigid planet the crew divides spoils from the Shadow Depository, leaving items aside for Crichton to choose from.
- Pilot warns that Crichton is again broadcasting Moya's location to Scorpius and that a Peacekeeper pulse code has been detected on the communications signal. According to YouTube automatic captions, Scorpius appears to Crichton in person, declares that the chase ends here, and then makes clear that he wants only Crichton and not the rest of the crew.
- Diagnosan Tocot examines an alien corpse and explains that he can use it as a biological match for Crichton, but warns that doing so would be an abomination against nature. According to YouTube automatic captions, Crichton confides to D'Argo that the chip controls him at times, while at other times his thoughts are lucid.
