Episode Report Card Sobell: A | 2 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT "Can I Get A 'Hell, Yeah'?"
By Sobell | Season 3 | Episode 1 | Aired on 2001.03.16
Cut to Scorpius, who seems genuinely outraged to find out that there's a live, angry Scarran running about Kaiser PermaNOTe. Braca's moved beyond outrage into plain old rage; he tidily breaks Greenschlick's arm with one blow. And then we get a totally gross scene where Scorpy puts on the Bluetooth headset and makes Greenschlick bite off his own finger. Aiiugh! I didn't sign up for this! I signed up for the prospect of countless shots of Crichton's tasty leather pants. Tasty pants, not tasty fingers!
Anyway, after that gruesome little incident, Greenschlick explains that the Scarrans found out Scorpy had his cooling system installed at Kaiser PermaNOTe, and so they installed a spy on the premises to cool his heels until Scorpy showed up for maintenance. Braca seems outraged that Greenschlick took money for this; Greenschlick insists that he was going to keep the Scarran frozen and hand him over to Scorpius, but then Braca and company had to ruin it all by overrunning the place with their guns and whatnot, so "I kind of doubted your good intentions. As insurance, I switched on the Scarran's auto-release, three arn's delay. If you'd have behaved and paid what we agreed, I'd have switched it off." Greenschlick then holds up his mangled hand and whispers, "I hope he kills you very slowly." Scorpius bitterly replies, "Not likely."
Back on Moya, Jothee's all, "My dad is so totally going to kill me for doing his girlfriend!" and Chiana's just sort of marinating in irritation. When Rygel comes in, they're both like, "All those banging noises you heard from the kitchen were because we're really clumsy cooks and not because we had extremely raucous off-camera sex! Really!" Rygel is all, "Do I look like I care? I have a levitating chair and a full plate. What else could I possibly need?"
Meanwhile, Braca's busy figuring out everyone's whereabouts. Sergeant-Major Good-looking asks if he should just go ahead and take out the Scarran. This suggestion is met with some derision on Greenschlick's part. Either Greenschlick is too stupid to realize he's not getting out of this alive, or he's stopped giving a damn. I'm not sure which it is. Scorpius puts on the Bluetooth headset and prepares to send his puppet out.
