Warning: Spoilers
Having discovered the location Katratzi Moya and her crew have managed to find the ship transporting her there; it is at a border post where all ships must undergo a five-day check for contraband and dangerous materials. Sikozu had gone ahead in the pod as the station is run by her people, D'Argo and Noranti are holding back in his ship and Scorpius takes the role of Moya's captain claiming to be Captain Wentrask; a Scarran spy transporting prisoners to Katratzi. Once on board they must find a way of keeping the Scarran ship there; to do this they make Rygel violently sick; he mentions once having 'Hynerian dermaphollica' a disease that is fatal to many races. This works for a while but soon they begin to doubt that is what he really has; luckily Noranti heard the request for a doctor so is on hand to give Rygel something to convince people that he is really ill... in fact she does make him really ill so must work quickly to find a cure! While she is doing that the others work on a plan to board the Scarran ship and rescue Aeryn.

This episode; the first of a three part story is full of excitement and drama and unlike the previous episode there are a few laughs to be had... Rygel's vomiting was pretty funny for a start. Once again Aeryn's scenes were fairly gruelling as it looks as though the Scarrans will remove the baby from her to ensure its survival after she has been exposed to the disease. The rescue attempt was pretty exciting although to my mind the best action sequences were when the Charrids try to capture Chiana and she defeats several of them despite being unarmed! With only a few minutes to go it looked as if everything had gone well for the crew; that is until Harvey makes a reappearance and tells John they must head to Katratzi after all!
