Plot
Far from the water world where John Crichton and Aeryn Sun have been crystallized, a Peacekeeper fleet under Scorpius and a Scarran fleet under Emperor Staleek engage in battle. The war intensifies over John Crichton, whose mind contains wormhole knowledge. Crichton and Aeryn are reformed by the race that crystallized them, thanks to Rygel's retrieval of their components two months after the events of 'Bad Timing'. Scorpius senses Crichton's revival and journeys to the water planet with Sikozu. The water world is the last outpost of the Eidelons, a race who once used empathic abilities to encourage peace. Ka D'Argo reveals that the crew of Moya discovered and revived the Eidelon on Arnessk. Two Eidelons board Moya as Scorpius arrives. Noranti stays to educate the Eidelon descendants. Scorpius and Sikozu accompany the crew with passcodes needed to leave Peacekeeper territory. Aeryn was pregnant, but when reconstituted there was no sign of the baby; the fetus is growing inside Rygel, who ingested the crystallized particles. At the edge of Peacekeeper space, Moya is harpooned by Tragan bounty hunters. After a firefight, the Tragans are repelled before Moya starbursts to Arnessk.
Home video release
DVD releases of the miniseries vary by region. In the US, Lionsgate combined both parts into a single three-hour movie, while the UK’s Contender Entertainment Group issued a two-disc set with one part per disc. Both include a making-of documentary, but only the UK disc has deleted scenes. The Australian DVD is a single disc with no bonus features.
