Sikozu paces the pod, arms across her chest; Chiana sits in the pilot seat and fidgets. Sikozu says it's almost time and Chiana gets scared: "No. We need to find Aeryn." Sikozu, who's worried too, Sikozus at her. "For once in your life, exercise some self-control." Chiana says she is, proof being that she hasn't shot Sikozu in the head. Excessive! Noranti tells them both to stop it, and Aeryn comes flying into the pod and into a seat. "Are you all right?" Chiana asks her, and she's breathing hard as she says she is. Sikozu blasts off and they head back to Moya.
Pilot informs the worried Ka D'Argo that the transport pod is returning -- "at high speed." Scorpius asks if they've signaled distress, and they have not; John asks if Moya's signaled Rygel's distress -- his hunger -- and Pilot doesn't get it: "Inadvisable, as that would confirm our position to the Scarran warship pursuing them." Bwuh?! Everybody jumps and freaks; D'Argo orders starburst as soon as they get onboard -- which Pilot was already doing -- and they starburst away with the pod inside.
D'Argo sniffs loudly at Chiana, who's still deep blue; she asks if it's really necessary, and he's just like, "It's so crazy! How you smell!" She pulls out a syringe and -- still in the voice -- tells him the genetic changes of course change her scent. "Is it permanent?" She stops with the syringe: "Do you want it to be?" And he leans in close, smiling sweetly: "I prefer the elegant gray." Elsewhere, Rygel pesters Noranti to cook for him. "I may never cook again," she teases, and continues down the corridor, Rygel whining after. This is all so sweet! Where's the Downer Tag?!
