Crichton and the crew are reunited on Moya. Crichton finds Aeryn suffering from Heat Delirium and under the care of Scorpius, who wants asylum aboard Moya. Soon after, a giant Lukythian ship appears nearby, and its Captain, Ullom, claims that Aeryn was recently part of a team that assassinated an important Lukythian leader. Ullom offers to heal Aeryn in return for information about the plot. While battling with the notion of trusting Scorpius, Crichton remains unaware that neither Aeryn nor Ullom is telling the whole truth.

Synopsis

I love that Harvey wants Crichton to kill Scorpius

but no great surprised as Scorpius has a device which he says can remove Harvey and it seems to work too.

Meanwhile the Peacekeepers have come up with a weapon that will kill Moya while leaving her passengers unharmed and Braca sets out to deliver it. Luckily it turns out that Ullom’s ship has chameleon abilities which they use to fool the Peacekeeper missile.

Although Aeryn did kill the Lukythian leader it was out of principal not for money. Ullom dies along with his ship.

And so we are left with Moya and a full crew on the run with Scorpius as a passenger/prisoner. Sikozu was already an unpopular addition and her apparent friendship with Scorpius only makes that worse. While Crichton is of course happy to have Aeryn back he’s none too thrilled that she does volunteer the fact that she’s pregnant, although at this point it’s not 100% clear that she is, Crichton only has Noranti’s word on that and she’s not exactly the most reliable source.
