- What happens in "The Way We Weren't"?
- The episode opens on a Leviathan where a Peacekeeper captain orders a lieutenant named Valeric to cooperate with a secret project, after having been bonded to the ship for 21 cycles. According to YouTube automatic captions, the story then shifts to Moya, where Chiana and another crew member search an upper deck and find a hidden Peacekeeper recording device.
- When they play the recording, they realize it shows Aeryn on board Moya before she ever joined the crew, and that she took part in killing a defenseless pilot during a procedure to replace Moya's original pilot about three cycles earlier.
- John Crichton confronts Aeryn about what the recording shows, and the rest of the crew argue over her past as a Peacekeeper. YouTube automatic captions record that the argument also turns on whether to tell Pilot, the Leviathan bonded to Moya, what the recording reveals about how his predecessor was replaced. Before the question is settled, Rygel obtains the recording and shows it to Pilot, who reacts violently and brings the ship to a halt.
- YouTube automatic captions state that Pilot declares that Aeryn must leave Moya before the ship will move again, leaving the crew split over her fate.
