John and Chiana return to the ship to find Aeryn and Rygel behaving strangely. It is revealed that a couple of Nebari in a damaged vessel have come aboard Moya. The ship is quickly taken and the crew is temporarily mind-cleansed in turn. The last is Crichton, since the temporary version won't work on Chiana or Pilot, and that's when things get interesting. Brain!Scorpius manages to overcome the brainwash drug, freeing Crichton, who manages to enlist Chiana, pilot, and Rygel (whose fast metabolism drains drugs quickly) to free Moya. Chiana's brother Nerri is discovered to be alive and leading a resistance movement against the Nebari Establishment.

* BizarreAlienBiology: Rygel's three stomachs allow him to burn through the drugs in no time. He fakes being cleansed so that he doesn't have to endure the procedure again.
* EurekaMoment: Chiana when she realizes that Rygel has multiple stomachs and thus would've quickly burned through the drugs.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Rather than jump ship to save himself, Rygel was fully prepared to be the Nebari's "go along guy" rather than risk angering them.
* NotHelpingYourCase: In response to being accused of always selling out the crew to save himself, Rygel says he doesn't do it ''every'' time. Crichton responds to that with a little physical punishment.

** The big reason Varla sought out Chiana is because the thought dead Nerri was positively identified during an attack ten days ago.
** Varla had a much bigger team, but they were killed in an off-screen fight with the Peacekeepers. This gives Crichton the idea to fake a Peacekeeper attack.
** Varla would've succeeded if not for Harvey. He undoes Crichton's mind-cleansing, which leads to working out a plan with Pilot and Rygel.

* LongGame: It's revealed that the Nebari Establishment has been running one of these for the last twenty years. Basically, they've been infecting deviants and rebels like Chiana with a highly communicable disease, then allowing said rebels to escape Nebari Prime, allowing the infectees to spread the Contagion to any species they encounter. To ensure that the Contagion spreads as far as possible and maintains a low profile in the process, it's been programmed to remain dormant and invisible until the Establishment are ready - for decades if necessary. Once the designated day arrives, the Contagion activates, crippling entire civilizations and ensuring minimal resistance to Nebari invasion.
