The Ugly Truth

Farscape, Season 2 - premiered on Friday, September 8, 2000

FarscapeCrais invites Crichton, Aeryn, D’Argo, Zhaan, and Stark aboard Talyn with a proposal to disarm the young warship and provide it with safer, non-lethal defenses. This will help the fugitive captain maintain a lower profile, so he has arranged to buy a Dampening Net from Plokavian traders. When the trading ship arrives, however, Talyn’s weapons open fire and destroys it. Crais puts the others into their transport pod and Starbursts away, but before they can reach Moya, another group of Plokavians captures them and places them on trial. Each is interrogated separately, and each tells a somewhat different story. What is the truth? Why are they hiding it? And who will pay the ultimate price to keep the secret?

A Clockwork Nebari

Farscape, Season 2 - premiered on Friday, September 15, 2000

FarscapeAeryn and Rygel return to Moya from a trading trip, accompanied by two Nebari warriors. Varla and Merak are after Chiana, but perform a temporary battlefield mind-cleansing on everyone on board and use a restraining collar to prevent Moya from Starbursting. The Scorpius neural clone guards its territory jealousy, however, and decides that only it will be messing around with Crichton’s cranium, thank you very much. Crichton feigns going along with the Nebaris’ plan while he tries to get Chiana to tell him what’s going on. She’s not very sure; the Nebari keep referring to her brother Nerri, but as far as she knows, he’s dead. She does know that the Nebari used her and her brother to spread a virus among other races that would make them more susceptible to Nebari reprogramming; that was when she and Nerri split up and he left to join the resistance. The point will become moot if the Nebari can get Moya to one of their outposts for permanent reprogramming, but an unexpected ally within the resistance may be able to save everyone’s skin.
