"You are so self-righteous! I have used all my skills, all my resources, for one perfect chance at peace." It's one thing to call her a whore for the heppel oil; that I respect. But she betrays herself if she thinks that what she did to John was equal in its purity and pragmatism. In this second she says she'll never be more. "And because of you, it is gone. And I am..." She bites her lip. "Frelled? Screwed?" He finally looks at her, full of rage. "Raped?" She takes a breath and raises her head, unable to face his indictment. "Welcome to the Universe, Commandant." John stands up and walks out. Resolution, with all Scorpius's dictionary différance intact: the violation's off the table. If we see her again, it'll be brought low. You lose the fear and you take back that power -- and you have to figure this out for yourself, it's different every time -- and the universe changes around you. Fat Man's now dispensable, and that's the point of the trilogy, because this show curls up around itself like DNA.
Chiana's amazed, speaking of getting things back no boy should be without, that they let her and D'Argo back on Lo'La. "Everything's working, right?" It does seem to be; the infringement remains a secret. "All right, well, let's get the others, blast our way outta here." She runs an instrument over the ceiling, walking on the console. Like she runs the place! He sniffs and says no, somebody's been there. "I can smell it." He's gotta make sure she's really his again. "The defenses were up, right?" She continues to work on the ceiling; Lo'La beeps and hums at them. "No, I don't know what they've done. Maybe frelled with the weapons? Planted a homing beacon. Or a bomb." It's a mystery, this love story. They'll have to work on this together, make sure there aren't any other booby-traps. (Aeryn's still in the Carrier's med bay, solving mysteries.) Chiana climbs down, over D'Argo. "Frell it! I have to shut the ship down and run a full systems diagnostic check." Lo'La beeps in response; Chiana asks how long that'll take. Three hours. "What if it finds something that we can't fix?" Then they go with Scorpius's plan: "The frelling elevators."
