D'Argo and Stark try to heal John, left with his head open on an operating table, while Scorpius attempts to avoid discovery. Zhaan makes a great personal sacrifice, while Jothee and Chiana commit an indiscretion.
Scorpius makes his chilling presence felt on the Ice Planet while Crichton struggles to recover from brain surgery. D'Argo, Stark and Zhaan work to heal Crichton, but their efforts are stymied when Scorpius takes control of yet another body. Meanwhile, Crichton, still mourning Aeryn's death, struggles to remove a lingering trace of his nemesis from his mind.
Crichton lies on the operating table with the neural chip removed, unable to communicate. Aeryn is cryogenically frozen. The surgeon is able to restore Crichton's ability to speak. A dormant patient awakens and goes after everyone. Zhaan attempts to revive Aeryn, but at a very high cost.—Jesse Sanchez
