Sixty days after they were disintegrated, Rygel retrieves the pieces of John and Aeryn from the sea bed. The Diagnosian recrystallizes them and they start getting to know the people who live on that world.

Meanwhile, Scorpius and Sikozu are aboard a Peacekeeper Command Carrier on a recon mission. But when Scorpius realizes that Crichton has returned, renewing the possibility of creating a wormhole weapon to defeat the Scarrans permanently, he leaves his post to find Crichton.

With Sikozu's help, everyone manages to escape from the Scarran prison. Joining up with D'Argo, Jothee, Chiana and other Luxans they cripple and leave the Scarran ship and return to Moya.

Crichton returns to the wormhole where he gets Einstein to give him the ability to build a wormhole weapon.
