Summary
"Infinite Possibilities, Part 2: Icarus Abides" is the second half of a two-part story from the third season of Farscape.[1][2] In it, John Crichton and Jack (The Ancient) try to complete a displacement engine that can wipe out a Scarran dreadnought closing in on the planet below.[1][4] The logline on the rights holder's upload describes Jack unlocking the wormhole knowledge in Crichton's mind so the two can build the device together.[1]
