Plot

The episode opens with a recap that establishes John Crichton as an astronaut who was shot through a wormhole three years earlier and is now aboard a living ship of escaped prisoners.^[4]

Under interrogation, Aeryn Sun recounts a Sebacean legend of a deity named Djancaz-bru, who once destroyed six worlds that had prayed to her, and she prays to Djancaz-bru for a sign that someone is coming to rescue her.^[4]

The Scarran captain Jenek uses a heat probe to press Aeryn for information about Crichton's wormhole research.^[4]

On Moya, Crichton tells Scorpius that he will share all his wormhole knowledge if Scorpius helps him rescue Aeryn.^[4] Scorpius cuts his own hand and offers Crichton a taste as a Scarran blood vow.^[4]

Crichton and Scorpius travel through a wormhole and reach a variant Moya in an alternate reality.^[4]

The available transcript of the episode ends mid-sentence as Stark appears.^[4]
