6. What happens in "Revenging Angel"?
7. The episode opens with John Crichton telling Pilot that he is getting better at controlling his Farscape module, and the scene turns when Ka D'Argo angrily says he warned Crichton not to go inside a particular ship. Pilot reports to Aeryn Sun that Crichton has blood in his skull and swelling and is barely breathing. An energy pulse, Pilot explains, killed all of Moya's active power conduits while comms were down, and a krastic ship is still firing on them. D'Argo admits to the others that he tried to kill Crichton and that Crichton slipped; Chiana tells Pilot that D'Argo used his Qualta blade against Crichton, and Rygel XVI asks Pilot when the ship is going to blow.
8. Pilot tells the crew that only the DRDs can rewire Moya, and Aeryn tells the dying Crichton that revenge is the strongest emotion, that he put himself there, and that he should live to even the score. Inside Crichton's mind, Harvey, the neural clone of Scorpius, tells him that his mind is no longer strong enough to control his comings and goings and urges him to unleash the revenge deep within his psyche. Pilot, watching Crichton flee through the cartoon space, advises him to rise above D'Argo's behavior and remove himself as a target, and Harvey adds that Crichton can only run for so long, even in the childlike safety of his cartoon.

9. Back on Moya, Pilot reports that Chiana's work with the DRDs has restored minimal functioning and that the energy signature shows the ship will explode in just under an arm. He may have a way to save the crew, he says, by jettisoning the krastic ship from pressure hatchway 16 on Tier 16's Treblin side. Aeryn says Crichton ought to last several solar days before succumbing to hypothermia, provided Pilot ejects the ship. On a control she finds a Luxan symbol that D'Argo recognizes as the Luxan symbol for spoken word, and Chiana asks why the krastic ship is trying to kill them and why it speaks Luxan.
