Plot[]

Part 1[]

Two months after the events of "Bad Timing," the Uncharted Territories have plunged into war when Scorpius launches a preemptive attack against the Scarrans.

On Qujaga, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun have been restored to life by the Eidelons, thanks to Rygel's retrieval of their crystallized pieces via ingestion. When Scorpius senses Crichton's revival, he withdraws from battle and heads to the water planet.

Grand Chancellor Maryk orders all Peacekeepers to destroy Scorpius' command carrier when he learns of the half-Scarran's desertion. Grayza, having regained her title of commandant, warns that Scorpius' actions suggest a deeper motive beyond cowardice, but Maryk dismisses her concerns and lets the kill order stand.

A Diagnosan tells Aeryn that she is not pregnant, and according to his examination, never was. They realize one of the crystals is still in Rygel's stomach, and the baby is now developing inside him. While figuring out if they are welcome to stay inside the confines of the Eidelons' concealment canopy, Crichton and Aeryn decide to get married.

The Moya crew pleads their case to Yondalao.

The Moya crew pleads their case to Yondalao.

War Minister Ahkna receives a message from an "unexpected source" regarding Crichton's whereabouts, and the Scarrans make way for Qujaga. As the Eidelon high priestess Muoma begins to marry the couple, Scorpius and Sikozu arrive. Scorpius pressures Crichton to help the Peacekeepers by building a wormhole weapon, but Crichton refuses.

Instead, Crichton turns to the Eidelons, who were once able to influence peace over others. However, those on Qujaga have lost that ability. It is decided to send a delegation of Qujagan Eidelons to the planet Arnessk, home to ancient Eidelons who still possess such power, to learn from them.

En route to Arnessk, Moya is attacked by Tragin mercenaries hired by the Peacekeepers. During a shootout, Caa'ta is killed defending Pikal. Moya soon starbursts, and the crew arrives at Arnessk where they are greeted by Jool. They convince Yondalao, hierarch of the Arnesskan Eidelons, to teach Pikal the way of Hora Dalay, though his training will take time.

However, the Scarrans, having obtained Crichton's coordinates from their secret source, begin their attack on Arnessk. Yondalao agrees to go with the Moya crew, noting Pikal isn't ready yet. The Scarrans blow up the Eidelon temple, killing everyone inside, including Jool and Pikal.

The crew is taken aboard the Scarran flagship. Emperor Staleek threatens Rygel and the unborn child to force Crichton's cooperation. Crichton leads Staleek into a wormhole, where Einstein confirms that wormhole weapons can exist but should never be created. Meanwhile, Grayza poisons and kills Grand Chancellor Maryk.

Back on the ship, Yondalao begins influencing the Scarrans toward peace, but is murdered by Ahkna, and Stark passes him over to the other side. To make matters worse, lethal gas begins flooding their room...

Part 2[]

Baby D'Argo is born.

Baby D'Argo is born.

With the aid of D'Argo, Chiana, and a Luxan assault team (including Jothee), the crew stages a breakout. During the escape, Rygel's pregnancy is successfully transferred back to Aeryn.

Crichton becomes increasingly convinced that peace cannot be achieved through diplomacy alone. He travels through a wormhole to get the full wormhole knowledge from Einstein, intending to force an end to the war. This leaves him mentally unstable but in possession of the means to create a wormhole weapon.

Meanwhile, the Scarrans learn from their spy that Qujaga is populated with more Eidelons; Staleek orders all of them to be killed. Caught in Scarran fire over Qujaga, Moya is badly damaged and crashes into the ocean bed. The crew makes their way to the surface, and Stark, now carrying the Eidelon peace-making knowledge, begins transferring it to the surviving Qujagan Eidelons.

As Scarran and Peacekeeper forces converge on the city, Aeryn goes into labor during a sustained firefight. Sikozu is revealed to be the Scarran spy, and the crew defends the temple while evacuating Eidelon survivors. During the retreat, D'Argo is mortally wounded and sacrifices himself to hold off Scarran forces so the others can escape.

The crew hops aboard Moya, and they escape into the atmosphere. Crichton is met with the operational wormhole weapon, which Pilot had the DRDs build to his specifications. With Moya crippled and no avenue of retreat left, Crichton activates the wormhole weapon. Faced with total destruction, both Scarran and Peacekeeper leadership agree to an immediate end to the war.

Once peace is secured, Crichton shuts down the weapon. Einstein removes all the wormhole knowledge from Crichton's mind, rendering the weapon inert and leaving Crichton unconscious. A formal peace treaty is signed, ending the conflict.

In the aftermath, Stark relinquishes the Eidelon power and finds inner peace, Harvey ceases to exist with the wormhole knowledge gone, and the crew mourns D'Argo's death. Crichton and Aeryn name their son D'Argo Sun-Crichton and affirm a hopeful, peaceful future for him, lifting him to see the stars.
