2x01 - Mind the Baby
John, D'Argo and Aeryn are hiding from the PK troops in an abandoned structure built on an asteroid. They can't leave for risk of being discovered by Scorpius, who is nearby searching for them. Meanwhile, Zhaan, Chiana, and Rygel are free from the clutches of the Peacekeepers and Moya is intent on finding her child, Talyn, and decides to return to the asteroid field to search for him. Crais is with Talyn also hiding out in the asteroid field and the baby Leviathan wants to fight, and only Aeryn can comfort him. It turns out she and Crais made a deal. In order to save John and D'Argo, Aeryn promised Crais her assistance in calming Talyn. It is an arrangement John and D'Argo, when they finally find out about it, don't like. Subduing Aeryn, John takes her Prowler and boards Talyn with the intent of removing Crais from its control. John succeeds and returns, with the captured Crais, to Moya. Thinking John, Aeryn, and D'Argo dead, Moya's crew are shocked to learn that all are alive and well. With Crais in custody, the crew are reunited and all seems well. But Talyn has a temper and decides it wants Peacekeeper guidance or it will fire upon its mother, Moya. Crais and Aeryn return to Talyn with the hopes of calming it enough to tuck in with Moya for an emergency starburst. Scorpius attacks, but everyone gets away. Talyn goes his own way and promises to check in with Moya everynow and again.

2x02 - Vitas Mortis
The crew find an old Luxon woman nearby who must find another of her kind for an important ritual. It turns out her name is Nilaam and she is a Orican-a holly woman. Though still powerful, she is dying and needs D'Argo's assistance in the "Ritual of Passage." This involves the sharing of spirits, D'Argo accompanying the woman's spirit to the holy realm and poses some danger for the Luxan warrior. John is very suspicious of the woman, but D'Argo ignores the human, accepts the consequences of what may happen, and goes through with the ritual. While the ritual is taking place, Nilaam taps into D'Argo's life energy and discovers a source of amazing power. Instead of passing in the next life, Nilaam uses the power to make herself young again. Just as she does Moya begins to deteriorate. In case you haven't guessed yet, the life force Nilaam tapped into is draining Moya and aging her. The longer Nilaam lives, the closer the Leviathan comes to death. The crew is placed in serious jeopardy by the events. Nilaam and D'Argo eventually go through the ritual properly, Moya gets back her life energy and Nilaam passes away.

2x03 - Taking the Stone
Chiana is running through Moya in distress, clutching her midsection. She tries to talk to John, but he is too busy working on his module. She runs out of the pod bay. It is the life disc of her brother Neri, and it is no longer functioning. This can only mean that Neri is dead. Distraught, Chiana takes off in Aeryn's prowler to the nearest world, a royal cemetary planet inhabited by a group of young people calling themselves the Clansmen. They live underground in a system of caverns. None of them live past their mid-20s so they live dangerously, consuming hallucinogenic mushrooms and undergoing dangerous rites of passage. The ultimate rite being "taking the stone" which involves jumping into a deep cavern hoping to be caught by a sonic net created by the jumper's own voice. John and Aeryn go after Chiana to try to convince her to come back to Moya, but Chiana will have none of it. She likes the Clansmen and has decided to "take the stone" at the next Gathering. Aeryn suggests to John that they should allow Chiana to make her own decisions, but John will have none of it. He runs around alternately yelling at Chiana and pleading with her to change her mind. She is unswayed and still angry with him for brushing her off when she wanted to talk to him about Neri. One thing John does figure out is that the radiation in the caverns is slowly poisoning the Clansmen -- that's why none of them live past early adulthood. If the Clansmen moved to the surface to live, they would live longer. He tells Chiana and she tells the Clan, but they choose to maintain their lifestyle. John tries once again to keep Chiana from "taking the stone" but she is determined. She has something to prove to herself. She takes the leap and survives, caught by the sonic net she produces with her own humming. She and John then head back to Moya.

2x04 - Crackers Don't Matter
A blind alien, named Traltixx, offers to make modifications to Moya that will render the ship invisible to Peacekeeper scans. The journey to his conversion yards, forces the ship to pass near a cluster of pulsars which are known to affect lesser species' cognitive abilities. The crew is assured that they certainly wouldn't be affected and the ship will pass through the system without incident. Yea right! Almost immediately everyone starts acting a little paranoid. It is subtle, at first, but a sense of distrust develops between the crew. The paranoia shows itself in everyone's hoarding of some recently purchased crackers. Nearly everyone thinks the others are stealing more than their share of the crackers. Zhaan, the light loving plant, isn't paranoid like the others, instead she is busy having "photogasms" (yes, you read that right). The only one not affected is Traltixx, whose blindness conveniently protects him from the light's effect. With the crew distrusting each other and obsessed with protecting their share of crackers, mayhem and chaos reign on the ship. As it turns out, the light from the pulsars isn't causing the crew's strange reactions, it's Traltixx...he is intent on making light and his effect on the crew is simply keeping them out of his way. Only John maintains some sense of reality, because he has the worst eyes of anyone on the ship. The crew dresses him up in protectant clothing and gear and he takes on Traltixx by himself to save everyone from going insane.

2x05 - Picture If You Will
While visiting a commerce ship, Chiana comes across an unusual picture. The alien portrait includes a likeness eerily resembling Chiana. Rightfully disturbed by the strange artifact, Chiana decides to leave it alone. But Kyvan, the alien dealer, insists Chiana should have it and gives it to her. Big mistake... Shortly after arriving back on Moya, the portrait changes, showing Chiana with a broken leg. Almost immediately she trips and hurts her leg, just as the portrait foretold. Chiana thinks it's a coincidence, but Zhaan is a bit more suspicious. The picture changes again; this time showing Chiana in flames. Starting to freak a bit now, Chiana tries to get rid of the portrait, but ends up burning up in the refrigeration unit. The rest of the crew destroy the portrait, but it keeps turning up with new images of death. D'Argo is next. Meanwhile, Aeryn goes back to the commerce ship, with stow-away Rygel, to question Kyvan. Kyvan confesses that Maldis (our evil friend from That Old Black Magic) is back and out for revenge. Aeryn relays that information to John. Zhaan thinks she knows what's going on and when the portrait shows an image of John's death, Zhaan purposely electricutes John fulfilling the portrait's deadly prophecy. Here's the catch: when Chiana, D'Argo, and John die, there's no body, no blood, nothing left. Something very weird is going on. Zhaan begins hearing Maldis's voice in her head. She leaves instructions with Pilot before she trips and falls to her "death." However, no one is dead; they are all locked inside the portrait Maldis created. While John and the others keep Maldis busy, Zhaan prepares herself for battle. Pilot relays Zhaan's orders to Aeryn -- destroy Kyvan and the commerce ship and head back to Moya. Kyvan turns out to be a construct, part of Maldis's energy. When Kyvan is destroyed, Maldis is weakened allowing Zhaan to overcome him once again. The crew is released from the portrait safe and sound.

2x06 - The Way We Weren't
Chiana finds an old Peacekeeper recording device, hidden within the ship, and shares it with everyone but Pilot. The recording shows Peacekeepers aboard Moya killing the previous Pilot and Aeryn was one of those involved in the murder. Confronted with the evidence by Moya's crew, Aeryn doesn't deny her hideous actions. Aeryn tried to explain that those were different days and she is now a very different person - no longer a Peacekeeper. However, the crew clearly views Aeryn with suspicion, doesn't know whether to believe her or not, and vows to never let Pilot see the recording. John tries to comfort Aeryn, but she resists his help, at first. Finally, broken by the guilt of her actions, Aeryn opens to John details of her painful past, a past of painful choices and lost love. To no one's surprise, Pilot sees the recording and orders Aeryn to his chamber. Angered by what he feels is Aeryn's betrayal, Pilot attacks her and orders her off Moya. Pilot, too, is drawn into memories of when he first came aboard Moya and the unfortunate circumstances that allowed him to take her command. Filled with guilt, he severs his connection to Moya and places all aboard her in extreme risk. John does his best to keep the family together and eventually Pilot and Aeryn come to terms with this portion of their past. The crew helps Pilot re-attach to Moya and for the first time Pilot experiences no pain at being joined with Moya.

2x07 - Home on the Remains
Out of food, the crew is desperate to find supplies. Unfortunately, they have no currency to get supplies. Chiana has a plan. She knows of a nearby mining operation where she used to live. They will find plenty of food there. The bad news is, the mining operation is aboard a budong corpse. Budongs are humongous space-borne creatures very rarely found alive. Their corpses though are rich in a valuable crystal hence the mining operation. John, Chiana, D'Argo, and Rygel take the pod to the budong; Aeryn stays aboard with a debilitated Zhaan. Zhaan has started to spore from lack of food. Down on the budong, it turns out that Chiana didn't leave on the best of terms though. She had made a number of powerful people angry. The John and D'Argo agree to do some mining in exchange for food some of which John takes back to Moya for Zhaan. Unfortunately, it's not meat; Zhaan needs meat to stop the sporing cycle. If it doesn't stop, she will die. As they are about to go mine more, the director, B'Soong shuts down mining operations. It turns out he's got a scam going, and he needs to keep the mines clear to do it. He's using the threat of a Keedva (something large and wolf-like with lots of nasty sharp teeth) to control the miners. John exposes B'Soong and kills the Keedva in self-defense. The crew heads back to Moya to enjoy a delicious Keedva barbeque.

2x08 - Dream a Little Dream (RE: Union)
Note: 2 versions of this episode have aired. It was originally filmed to be the first episode of season 2, but the producers felt that it would be less confusing to the audience to start right back in with the John/D'Argo/Aeryn/Crais/Talyn storyline. It first aired 8th in the season right after "Home on the Remains" as a flashback episode. A restored version aired just recently during the hiatus. The summary here reflects the first aired version.
John and Zhaan are stuck in a non-functional transport pod due to Rygel's squirrelling away his leftover Keedva barbeque in one of the essential systems. While waiting for Moya to come retrieve them, Zhaan, plagued by dreams of John, D'Argo, and Aeryn dying horribly, finally unburdens herself to John. She tells him what happened to her, Chiana, and Rygel on Litigara when Moya starburst away to avoid capture by the Peacekeeper command carrier (Family Ties). Litigara is a planet whose population is comprised of 90% lawyers. The other 10% are non-lawyers and have few rights under the law. They are, essentially, second class citizens. While on Litigara, Zhaan was framed for the murder of a leader in the civil rights for non-lawyers movement on Litigara. Zhaan is already feeling very depressed and guilty over leaving John, D'Argo, and Aeryn behind. While in a holding cell awaiting trial, she hallucinates each of them telling her off. She gives up hope and things look gloomy for our beloved Blue. However, Rygel and Chiana to the rescue. They decide to represent Zhaan in court as her attornies. They learn that Litigara's rules are harsh for those who try to win cases by fraud. The sentence is death. But Rygel and Chiana have no choice. Through a combination of cagey questioning and some sneaking around, they discover who really killed the civil rights leader. It was Ja Rhumann a powerful lawyer in the community. They also learn that although Litigara's legal system seems extremely complicated, it's really based on one small book of laws which reference something called "the light of truth" which is supposed to tell when someone is lying. Through careful planning and some on-the-sly help from Pilot, they trick culprit into incriminating himself. Zhaan is set free and the guilty party is taken into custody. Rygel, Chiana, and Zhaan go back to Moya to begin their return journey to try to retrieve Aeryn and, if they survived, John and D'Argo. Zhaan, still guilt-ridden over her failure to protect the rest of the crew, has slipped into a kind of trance determined to continue with the Delvian Seek, the way of the priesthood. Back in the present, John does his best to comfort Zhaan, singing her a bit of that sweet Earth song (hence the title) and telling her not to be too hard on herself.

2x09 - Out of Their Minds
Coming across a damaged warship, Moya is targeted by that vessel and is in danger of being destroyed. Zhaan is on the enemy vessel trying to reason with the occupants, but instead they want to attack Moya, because Talyn attacked them. They believe Moya is armed with weapons as Talyn is. Using the defense screen salvaged from the Zelbinion, Moya is protected from the enemy fire, but the screen is operating only at 62% power and some of the energy from the weapon is allowed into the ship and those aboard her are affected by it. The energy causes Moya's crew to switch bodies with their crew mates. For much of the episode John is in Aeryn, Aeryn is in Rygel, Rygel is in John, Pilot is in Chiana, Chiana is in D'Argo, and D'Argo in in Pilot. Zhaan, who is on board the enemy ship, is unaware of the bizarre events involving Moya's crew. The crew is just getting the hang of their new bodies, when another blast causes them to switch bodies again. Pilot is in danger of dying and everyone is upset. Zhaan takes over the enemy ship and the crew of Moya ask her to shoot them one more time, confused, Zhaan does fire again on Moya and everyone switches back into their own bodies.

2x10 - My 3 Crichtons
A ball of light enters Moya and speeds through Moya for unknown reasons. Coming across Crichton, it glows brighter and grows larger. Aeryn assumes it is attacking and fires upon the glowing intruder. John is enveloped by the sphere which immediately solidifies. Shortly after, the ball emits strange energy waves and expels Chrichton, who is apparently no worse for wear. Almost immediately it expels another creature, which quickly disappears into the bowels of Moya. Strangely, blood identified as John's is found on the floor, but John isn't injured. It becomes apparent the creature is really a primitive version of him. Almost immediately, the sphere emits more energy waves and expels another Crichton. This particular version of John isn't primitive, but actually a more advanced copy of the human. And the crew thought one Crichton was trouble enough. The energy ball is causing Moya to be pulled into a dimensional sinkhole. John and his Future copy use the defense screen to buy some time. The sphere sends out a message directly to the Crichtons' brains demanding one of the specimens back. Future Crichton wants to give it Primitive Crichton. John resigns himself that this is the best plan, but Chiana protests and helps to hide primitive Crichton. John searches in places he would hide and finds Primitive Crichton but can't turn him over to Future Crichton. John decides that he will sacrifice himself to save Moya. However, just as he's about to step into the sphere, Primitive Crichton ambushes Future Crichton, killing him. He tells John that he accepts his fate, picks up Future Crichton and jumps into the sphere. The sphere leaves Moya, and she is no longer in danger. John contemplates his existence and how his primitive self turned out to be the best of all of them.

2x11 - Look at the Princess 1: A Kiss is But a Kiss
Moya approaches a star system protected by automated Peacekeeper weapons. It is discovered the system is a breakaway Peacekeeper colony that is in the process of celebrating the wedding of their princess. Rygel negotiates authorization for the crew to land on the planet. The crew finds themselves on a party planet where kissing seems to be the favorite pasttime. The kisses are intended to find out if the kissers' DNA is compatible for healthy children . While Aeryn is not in the mood to participate in the local kissing custom, John is not as shy. He kisses their princess and from the kiss she knows that their DNA will produce a healthy child. Now John is all caught up in local politics. It turns out that Princess Katralla's DNA was poisoned by her treacherous brother who will assume the throne if she doesn't marry. Crichton finds himself under protective guard and fitted for his wedding clothes, but he resists and is met by Katralla's formidable mother, who gives John and ultimatum...."marry my daughter or be turned over to Scorpious." He proposes to the princess and the wedding plans are set. The evil prince, Prince Clavor, allied with the Scarrans, is determined to see Crichton murdered before the marriage can take place. Aeryn is also upset and wants everyone to flee the city and hide until Moya returns. Moya, Pilot, and Zhaan decided to starburst in an attempt to lure Scorpius away from the planet where John, Aeryn, Rygel, D'Argo, and Chiana are spending time. Moya answers a call and returns to her "Builders."

2x12 - Look at the Princess 2: I Do, I Think
John is saved from death at the last minute by Jenavian, a secret Peacekeeper operative, and goes right after Prince Clavor. However, because John has no proof, he is branded unstable by the Empress and she wants more tests done. Katralla is furious with John until she and John barely escape another attack by Clavor. Rygel hatches a plan to hide John on the wedding gift barge orbiting the Royal planet. The idea is to make everyone think John has fled, forcing the villains to show themselves with desperate actions. However, the plan goes awry when the Empress' most trusted servant, Ro na, betrays John to Scorpius. John has an extremely unstable outburst and ends up drawing the fire of the Royal Planetary automated defense system in orbit around the planet. He escapes into space. Surviving three assassination attempts in one day, John and Princes Katrella are finally wed. Scorpius, the Scarran emissary, D'Argo, Chiana, Rygel, and honored guests are treated to a simple wedding. Aeryn does not attend the event, instead she leaves for the desert with a Sebacean named Dregon who has his eye on her. The episode ends just as Katrella and John are turned into statues - according to royal tradition. Not to be forgotten are Moya, Zhaan and Pilot. The "Builders" are upset that Moya has produced a gunship offspring. In their infinite wisdom, the "builders" have decided that Moya is to be decommissioned and will die.

2x13 - Look at the Princess 3: The Maltese Crichton
Prince Clavor and his Scarran sidekick, cut off John's head in an effort to kill him. The prince throws John's head into a vat of slow working acid and leaves. Fortunately for John, Scorpius is able to track the human's head and retrieves it before the liquids dissolve the precious artifact. Just when Scorpy thinks he finally has John, he is attacked, immobilized, and his prize stolen from him. Turns out the thief is none other than Jenavian, the Peacekeeper agent. She reattaches John's head to his body, turns him into a human again and the two slip out of the royal city and makes plans and well...have a little fun, if you get my meaning. Unlike John, Aeryn isn't having the time of her life with Dregon. Dregon fibs about his mountain climbing experience and he an Aeryn are both seriously injured in a fall. The Scarran goes on a rampage and kills Clavor and attacks D'Argo who inadvertenly fingers Chiana as one who might know where John is. Chiana is kidnapped and John, Jena and D'Argo save the day. Katralla, still a statue, and pregnant via engineering means, agrees with John to have Counselor Tyno, her true love, replace John as a statue and her husband (since John will be killed if he is turned into a statue again). John sees his unborn daughter and says goodbye. On Moya, Zhaan is not taking the death of the Leviathan and Pilot lying down. Converting John's module into a large god vacuum, Zhaan sucks the "Builder" into Farscape One. Aeryn and John kiss using the Sebacean fluid to find out if their DNA is compatible....happily it is.

2x14 - Beware of Dog
After returning from a supply-run, the crew suspects a parasitic infestation in some food they've purchased. Chiana and D'Argo come back to Moya with a Vorc (which looks like a cross between Yoda and E.T.) that is supposed to track down the parasite and kill it. The little g uy immediately escapes from his cage and begins to hunt the parasite. Meanwhile, John is having visions of Scorpius appearing all over the ship. John, trying to ignore the visions of Scorpius, is having his own little game of golf, complete with play-by-play narration straight from "Caddyshack", when he sees a ferocious looking creature. At first noone believes him because he's been acting strangely lately. However, a little while later D'Argo is attacked by a strange creature and falls unconscious. The crew immediately mobilizes to find the Vorc and hunt for the parasite, which may or may not be the same creature that attacked D'Argo. Later Rygel is attacked as well. It turns out that the Vorc is really 2 creatures in 1. A smaller, faster body for tracking the parasite, and a larger, fiercer body for the kill. It turns out that the parasites had taken over D'Argo and Rygel, encasing them in cocoon-like structures and creating constructs of their bodies. These contructs are what the Vorc attacked. Aeryn and John manages to freeze the parasites, but the Vorc is mortally wounded. John comforts Aeryn while the poor Vorc dies in her arms.

2x15 - Won't Get Fooled Again
We see footage of John's experimental flight in the Farscape 1 module. John awakens in a hospital to see his father standing over him. He is immediately suspicious and attacks his "father." He is sedated by a doctor who looks suspiciously like Aeryn. What follows is a bizarre and disturbing whirlwind of of strange situations with our familiar crew playing parts in John's nightmare. Aeryn is a doctor, Zhaan is a psychologist, D'Argo is a fellow astronaut, Chiana is an astronaut groupie, and Rygel is the mission director while Pilot and Scorpius are members of the house band at a local pub. At one point Scorpius shows up again. This time, he's the real thing, or rather, a construct of Scorpius in John's head explaining that this Scorpius was created by a chip implanted by the real Scorpius while John was last in the Aurora Chair. The Scorpius construct explains John's situation to him. John has been captured by a Scarran who is trying to obtain the wormhole knowledge from John's subconscious. John manages to awaken from the Scarran-induced nightmare to find he still has his weapon. He overloads the pulse pistol, blowing up the Scarran and allowing him to escape. Once John has killed the Scarran, his memory of the Scorpius contruct and the chip implanted in his brain immediately starts to fade until he can no longer remember anything about it.

2x16 - The Locket
Moya enters a large field of stellar mist to avoid Peacekeepers. Aeryn takes out a pod to investigate and does not come back for over one solar day. When Aeryn gets back to Moya, everyone is shocked to see that she is an old woman. Aeryn insists she had lived for over 50 cycles on another planet. She claims to have married, raised three children, and have a granddaughter to get back to. The crew is not convinced Aeryn knows what she is talking about and assumes the mist aged her in some way. John follows Aeryn back to the planet and sees Aeryn's granddaughter for himself. Aeryn convinces John that he must go back to Moya and return to her after another 8 arns. Of course, another 50 or so cycles will pass on the planet during that time. John tries to get away, but the passage through the mist leading to Moya closes and he is trapped with Aeryn. Joining in unity, Zhaan and Stark attempt to find a solution that will save their friends, and they discover that John and Aeryn are aging naturally and Moya is stuck in an "absence of time" in the stellar mist. Moya is trapped in the mist, which is frozen in time. Meanwhile, John and Aeryn live their lives and grow old on the planet. They wait 55 cycles and contact Moya. John flied them back to Moya, but Aeryn dies during the journey. Zhaan and Stark join in unity again and call to John to initiate reverse starburst to try and get Moya out of the mist. The starburst returns the crew to a time just minutes before they entered the mist. John and Aeryn are young again and Stark and Zhaan tell everyone not to go into the mist.

2x17 - The Ugly Truth
What truly happens in this episode is anyone's guess because we see the episode from the point of view of each of the characters. As such each of the characters' stories are a little bit different. The situation is this, Crais contacts Moya asking for the crew's help in disarming Talyn and replacing his cannon with a dampening net(a non-lethal weapon), which he is going to be purchasing from the Plokavians, as Talyn is becoming too difficult to control. As the Plokavian ship approaches, a shot fires from Talyn destroying the ship. The Plokavians take the crew prisoner, Talyn and Crais take off, and the Plokavians interrogate Aeryn, D'Argo, Zhaan, John, and Stark in turn. Each tells a slightly different version of events. Since none of the stories match exactly and there is no concensus on who caused the destruction of the Plokavian ship, all 5 are doomed to die by dispersal. Stark suddenly claims to have fired the cannon destroying the Plokavians, sacrificing himself to save the others as there is a slight chance he can survive dispersal. The others are returned to Moya. When the truth comes out at the end, we discover that the most likely truth is that Talyn, learning from Moya that the Plocavians carried deadly novatron gas, fired his own cannon to protect his mother.

2x18 - A Clockwork Nebari
Successful at subduing the crew, a Nebari operative named Varla easily takes over Moya. Joined by another Nebari government agent, Meelak, Varla is bent on returning Chiana to their homeworld. Already injured by a disastrous run-in with Peacekeepers, Varla will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. It turns out Chiana and her brother (and many other young, rebellious Nebari like them) were an unwitting pawn in a Nebari plan to take over much of the galaxy. They were infected as carriers of a disease passed on by intimate contact. The Nebari plan...wipe out everyone in the galaxy except the Nebari. Chiana's brother, Nerri, thought dead, is very much alive. Nerri is a leader of the Nebari resistance, a group the Nebari government feels threatened by. Chiana will become the bait in a plan to capture him and crush the resistance. The entire crew is under Nebari control, Aeryn, Rygel, John, and D'Argo by drug-induced mind cleansing and Chiana and Pilot by control collars. Good news for the crew is that Rygel's fast metabolism and John's mind-pal Scorpy allow them to break free from the mind cleansing quickly. Chiana, Pilot, John, and Rygel hatch a plot to fool the Nebari into thinking the Peacekeepers are attacking. This plan doesn't work, but Meelak turns out to be a resistance operative, and he kills Varla rather than let her kill Chiana. Meelak refuses to take Chiana with him having orders from Nerri to keep her away and safe. Meelak returns to Nebari to maintain his undercover status. Chiana is both happy her brother is still alive and devastated that she cannot be reunited with him.

2x19 - Liars, Guns, and Money 1: A Not So Simple Plan
D'Argo is intent on saving his son, Jothee. Stark makes a surprising appearance (not only alive after being dispersed in The Ugly Truth), but he returns with a plan to save Jothee. Jothee is part of a group of slaves to be auctioned off. Purchasing the lot of slaves will require a lot of cash, a commodity Moya's crew has always been rather short of. That is where Stark's plan comes in. He wants to rob a large bank, a shadow depository, where criminals deposit their stolen goods for safe storage. It is up to the crew to masquerade as criminals to steal enough cash to save Jothee. D'Argo is captured and the rest of the crew's plan goes awry when Scorpius shows up to frolick with the depositories manager, a freaky blue "woman" named Natira. Scorpius is there to make a withdrawal from the depository. John and Aeryn use the Natira-Scorpius activities to switch Scorpius's coolant rods with some heated rods, putting Scorpius in grave danger. With Scorpius in pain and dying, John cannot kill him because of the chip in his head and John and the gang barely escape back to Moya with the money they stole from Scorpius.

2x20 - Liars, Guns, and Money 2: With Friends Like These
Scorpius buys the lot of slaves which Jothee is a member of. He gives John and ultimatum....Jothee for John, otherwise he will kill all the slaves. Natira, deceiving Scorpius, switched Scorpius's money with some critters that look like money, and since Moya's crew stole the "currency" their ship is being taken over. They are left with nothing to trade but John. To try and save the day, the crew collects four alien races to help in the battle to come: Vorcarians (Til' The Blood Runs Clear), Sheyangs (PK Tech Girl), Tavleks (Throne for a Loss) and a Zeneten pirate (The Flax). Meanwhile, the gold credits are in fact virtually indestructible creatures that are literally eating Moya alive. Aeryn, John, Rygel and D'Argo each take off to pick up their aliens. Successful in getting their alien help, everyone returns to Moya ready for action. Suddenly Jothee appears on Moya alive and well. D'Argo is thrilled to be reunited with his son, but it is tempered with the knowledge that John exchanged himself for Jothee. Scorpius, now in possession of the wormhole technology inside John's head, gets ready to run some tests.

2x21 - Liars, Guns, and Money 3: Plan B
With John captured, Aeryn convinces the alien mercenaries to continue with the original plan, and to rescue John. Talyn and Crais reappear, and the young leviathan helping restore some of Moya's health. Meanwhile, Scorpius holds John prisoner and makes plans to remove the brain chip-which is actually a "neural clone" of Scorpius that has located the wormhole technology stored in John's heads. Scorpius and Natira play with John, Aeryn and her alien mercenaries attack the depository, D'Argo faces tough realizations with his son because Jothee won't help them get John back. Stark is raving mad trying to save Moya from the gold credit critters that are eatying Moya alive and Aeryn offers Crais "anything he wants" if he will help them get John back. The attack by Moya's crew eventually gets John back, Start and Zhaan decide to light the part of Moya infected by the critters on fire to destroy them. Moya buzzes the depository breaking windows. Aeryn and company get John out and Talyn destroys the base. Whew....did you get all that.

2x22 - Die Me, Dichotomy
John is taken over by the chip in his head and and betrays the crew. Zhaan and Stark find a doctor in the Uncharted Territories who can heal a badly burned Moya and possibly help John. It seems D'Argo wants to marry Chiana. Of course, his son, Jothee, has eyes for her as well. On the planet, the doctor's repulsive aid Grunchlk tells Crichton that he cannot help him, but then they find three specimins on ice who are close enough to humans to use in a surgery. John refuses, saying he does not want to be responsible for their death (even though they are already frozen). John and Aeryn admit their love for one another, and just as they are about to kiss, John (controlled by Scorpy) slams Aeryn's head into the bulkhead knocking her out cold. John takes off in his Farscape module to call Scorpy. Aeryn flies after him. She chases him around the frozen waste of a planet, promising John she will kill him before she'd let him contact Scorpy. In the end, John lands his pod on top of Aeryn's, she ejects, but is stuck in her chair and drowns under the ice of a frozen lake. After the funeral, John decides to undergo the surgery by himself. John is lying on an operating table having his memories dissected one by one. Flashes of his memories of Aeryn he asks to keep. Finally gibberish talking takes over him and he can no longer speak clearly. Scorpy enters as the surgery is almost complete, incapacitates the doctor, takes the neural implant from John and leaves him alive, yelling gibberish, to allow his thirst of revenge to consume him.
