Pirate Zhaan & Co. are still waiting for D'Argo to figure out how to open the doors. Zhaan tells Chiana to take another pill. Rygel whines, "Where's my pill? This time I get a pill!" As usual, he is ignored. D'Argo fumbles over the control console on Moya. As some guards aim their weapons at Zhaan, she fumbles with a canister. D'Argo finally manages to open the nearby door, yay! Behind the door are even more guards, boo! Zhaan and Chiana look at each other for a second, and then Zhaan releases the canister, spraying the guards with knock-out gas. They immediately collapse. As does Rygel. Zhaan chuckles, "I knew I had to adjust the mix..."
Natira urges Scorpius to hurry. Scorpius tells Braca to capture Crichton alive. Glow-stick girl tells Scorpius that it's time for another checkup, but he waves her off.
In the lobby, Pirate Zhaan & Co. finally meet up with Aeryn and Crichton, to everyone's relief. Crichton tells Aeryn to help the others load up the cargo while he seals the door. Aeryn suggests they switch tasks, but Crichton's insistent. Harvey whispers, "There's no escape." Crichton walks the perimeter of the lobby, closing the doors, as Aeryn and the others go to load up the transport. As the last door begins to shut, a guard suddenly appears and shoves himself into the doorway, holding it open. Braca appears behind the guard, and Crichton ducks around a corner. Braca eventually snaps the guard's arm with a karate move, so that the guard's body keeps the door from shutting. Oh, Braca. As Braca slides through the open doorway, Crichton pulls his gun and greets him with, "Tell me, is the rematch ever better than the original fight?" Then Crichton punches Braca with the gun, knocking him out. Crichton moves to the door so he can shove the pile of bodies out of the doorway. He is immediately nabbed by Scorpius. D'oh.
Scorpius grabs Crichton's neck with one hand, and easily slides the door wide open with the other. Scorpy gloats, "You have no idea how patient I have been for this moment." Crichton gasps, "What the frell did you put in my head?!" Scorpius, keeping his grip on Crichton, explains about the chip as he easily lifts Crichton up and slams him against a wall. Scorpius smirks, "I trust it's helped save you once or twice since escaping my Gammak Base." Scorpius's voice suddenly turns into a croak and he slams Crichton back down to the floor. Crichton smirks that Scorpius seems to be under the weather. Something drips out of Scorpius's headgear as Crichton chuckles, "I got a piece of you in me, now you got a piece of me in you!" Scorpius slams Crichton to the floor and shouts, "Change it now!" as glow-stick girl rushes in. As Crichton struggles, Scorpius's head unspools, and glow-stick girl removes the old glow-stick, which is bright red. She walks away to retrieve her briefcase, which is lucky, since that's when the glow-stick explodes. Well, it's lucky for Scorpius. Less lucky for glow-stick girl. And Crichton, for that matter.
