What happens in "We're So Screwed, Part 1: Fetal Attraction"?

The crew of the living ship Moya learns from Sikozu that Aeryn Sun, an astronaut and soldier held captive by the Scarrans, has been moved aboard a freighter scheduled to depart in half an arn.^[4] John Crichton, an astronaut who was shot through a wormhole three years earlier, takes charge of planning a rescue.^[4] To hide their infiltration of a Scarran border station, the crew stages an outbreak of a deadly disease so that the station will be sealed in quarantine.^[1]

The plan gets Crichton and his allies inside the facility where the pregnant Aeryn is being held.^[1] There they discover that the Scarran officer Captain Jenek is not merely guarding Aeryn but intends to extract the wormhole knowledge from the unborn child she is carrying.^[1] Crichton explains who he is and tries to bargain, but Jenek is unmoved.^[4]

The episode then shifts from infiltration to a standoff, which the rights holder's upload marks as a chapter break.^[1]
