And now Aeryn's strolling outside in a lovely garden. Actual sunlight! How startling. She spots Tyno and Katralla chatting on a little wooden punting dock. Australia's pretty, y'all. Aeryn and moves a little closer to eavesdrop. This would be an illustration of what a terrible schemer Katralla is: let's have a private chat out in a public place surrounded by water that will help carry our voices! You'd think that the Empress would have taught her better. Katralla frets that the Empress is going to make her marry Crichton. Tyno says, "We can only hope," which turns out to be the wrong answer. Katralla wants him to rescue her. Tyno says he loves her, "But our union is not destined to be." Katralla grabs Tyno and kisses him. Aeryn watches, maybe thinking, "This relationship reminds me of something...if only I could figure out what." Tyno pulls away and tells Katralla that it's her duty to marry Crichton.
We're back at the bar. Aeryn rants that Crichton is dumb: "Princess Pretend doesn't even love him, she wants that Tyno!" I'm not sure how that supports her thesis. In fact, one could argue that it demonstrates lousy judgment on Katralla's part. Although Tyno does seem a little more stable. Anyway, Aeryn thinks they can all hide from Scorpius "in the barren lands outside the city" until Scorpius, like, gets bored and leaves. D'Argo and Chiana don't even dignify that plan with a response. Chiana repeats, "You should have told him how you felt about him when you had the chance." She points out Dregon, who's lurking nearby, and asks how many times he's hit on Aeryn. "He's well bred, he's rich, handsome. Perfect. You're gonna let him get away, too. You know why?" Aeryn takes a step closer and invites Chiana to continue. Chiana says, "Because you only want the ones you can't have! So you're gonna go to Crichton, you're gonna mess with his mind, he's gonna get turned over to Scorpius, and dead." Aeryn basically says, "I know you are but what am I?" and stomps off.
