| - Up on Moya, the world is ending for Rygel, who can't eat; he’s too pissed at Pilot and Moya, who are heading back to the asteroid field to search for Talyn, despite the danger. Aboard the Command Carrier, Scorpius is having his cooling rod changed- for the very first time on camera. He and Braca, who has apparently been promoted, are discussing the relative merits of allowing Aeryn’s Prowler to pick Crichton up, though Scorpius is annoyed that she has managed to evade capture since rescuing his prey. Aeryn herself, meanwhile, is en route to Talyn, where she finds Crais yelling frantically at the poor Leviathan baby. Together, they manage to calm him down enough to learn that he’s being agitated by signals broadcast by the Peacekeepers- designed to panic him enough to reveal himself. It soon becomes clear that whatever deal Aeryn has made involves partnering with Crais, and from the way he leans over her and in way too close, it is also clear that he has more than just a platonic partnership in mind. Waiting for Aeryn to come back, Crichton and D'Argo have started a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and D’Argo just says what no one else wants to acknowledge: why the fuck does paper beat rock, anyway? Once Aeryn’s back, Crichton immediately demands to know what she’s hiding from them. She says they’re not going to like it, that she promised to help Talyn learn to follow Crais's orders in exchange for coordinates to an oxygen rich asteroid. D’Argo’s so pissed that he tongues her. After winning at Rock, Paper, Scissors, Crichton is off to Talyn to kick Crais's ass while D’Argo waits for an unconscious Aeryn to wake up. On Moya, Zhaan is in the middle of some sort of meditation ritual, an attempt to once again become a Pa'u. Chiana asks her for help, but she’s completely disconnected herself from the world, and therefore useless. Over on Talyn, Crais reports in to Scorpius, who wants to know what's taking so long; it might be tempting to think that Crais has really been working for the PK's all this time, but no- he’s just playing all the angles. He’s in the middle of turning Talyn against the PK's so he and Aeryn and Talyn can all be a big, happy ex-PK family, when Crichton comes storming in, loud as usual. After an argument and a short fight, Crichton removes Crais from Talyn at gunpoint. The two return to Moya aboard Aeryn's prowler, say hello to a clearly overjoyed Chiana, and quickly deposit Crais in one of the cells. After saying hello to a whacked out Zhaan, who seems to think he is dead, Crichton hurries off to pick up D’Argo and Aeryn. Just in time, too, because Talyn has finally cracked under the stess and revealed his position to the PK’s. Scorpius gives orders to cripple the ship and to capture Crichton alive, noting that he doesn’t care if the others live or die. In spite of the happy reunion aboard Moya, Talyn is still freaking out. In between crises, Aeryn knocks some sense into the blissed out Zhaan, D’Argo has a verbal joust with Crais over their differences, and then the Command Carrier shows up. Finally, Talyn actually fires on Moya, demanding that Crais be sent over to be his Captain. After some more yelling and the defence screen exploding under the barrage, Aeryn agrees to accompany Crais to keep him in line, though neither she nor Crichton are happy about it. Refusing to say goodbye yet again, Crichton and Aeryn link fingers in a decidedly non-platonic manner right in front of Crais, and then she’s gone. Once they’re aboard the young Leviathan, Aeryn instructs Talyn to move closer to Moya so they’ll be carried along in her Starburst, but first, Talyn offers Crais the Hand of Friendship, a painful, direct neural link to Talyn himself. Once he's recovered from the pain of having a cyborg implant rammed into his spine, Crais is essentially Talyn‘s Pilot now, and both want Aeryn off the ship. Aeryn is reluctant to comply, but it becomes clear that Crais' newfound control over Talyn's security systems make him more than a match for her in combat, and she departs. As Aeryn reboards Moya, Crais contacts Scorpius to shove everything in his face, but at least he tells Scorpius that Crichton is dead (to piss him off, most likely), and then he and Talyn Starburst away. Moya quickly follows suit. Aeryn’s upset about Talyn running away from home, and Crichton wonders if Crais really can change...
