In Whole
As Scorpius reveals that the chip in John's head is slowly taking control of him, John is allowed to call the others to explain why he let himself be captured. But back on Moya, Aeryn isn't really believing this. The bounty hunters though (with the exception of Bakesh who's now calling himself "The Holy Warrior of Turu") have decided against helping because of the lack of money, only to be turned around by Aeryn calling them stupid and Stark going a bit mental.
Talyn also decides to pop along and supply Moya with important nutrients after her burning. Aeryn though asks Crais to help, but he refuses on the grounds of violence. D'Argo also has a little talk with Jo'thee who acts as a bit of a rebellious teenager. Which is what he is really.
Back at the depository, Scorpius decides to go into John's mind to find out if his neural clone has found the information. The clone reveals that it has found the wormhole technology buried there by the Ancients, and so Scorpius signals his command carrier where he will be removing the chip, also revealing though that John will die.
Back on Moya, people are having difficulties understanding Stark's new plan, and voice their opinions to D'Argo, who is just having another chat with Jo'thee. D'Argo agrees that the plan to get in is messed up, and proposes that Moya herself act as a diversion.
The first team, in the form of Rorf and Bakesh, are sent down in order to locate John. However, the two begin to disagree and decide to split up, while back on Moya Teurac, the Sheyang, is running into problems creating flame, and asks Zhaan if she will inject him with a serum that helps produce flame, but unfortunately acts as a poison as well.
At the depository though, Rorf finds John and relays his location to Pilot, but is captured and interrogated, unsuccessfully however, by Scorpius. Rorf does reveal though that Zenetan Pirates know him. Natera though, decides to have a go, in doing so removing one of Rorf's eyes. Rorf then decides to spill his guts regarding the plan, just as it's about to begin.
As Scorpius goes to seal the generator, which will be the main target of the plan, Natera lets slip to John that Scorpius doesn't have to kill John in order to get the chip out, just as Moya decides to pay a visit, creating a massive shockwave that destroys all the windows. Cue Rygel and Jo'thee dropping the others off at the depository. Zhaan, Stark and Teurac make their way to the generator, whilst Aeryn and D'Argo meet up with Bakesh and head off to find John.
Arriving at the generator, Zhaan gives Tuerac the serum as Aeryn, D'Argo and Bakesh enter through the main entrance, waiting for the power shut-down to proceed. Scorpius, however, signals the Zenetan Pirates on board Moya, who release the Flax net. This traps Moya, along with Rygel and Jo'thee's transport pod, so they cannot pick the others up.
Back at the generator, Teurac cannot produce the flame. Scorpius decides to ruin the party though, until Teurac shoots himself, causing himself to explode. Zhaan, Stark and Scorpius only just manage to escape, but the generator does not.
With power off, Aeryn, D'Argo and Bakesh proceed into the depository, although Aeryn's night-vision is a bit shaky at first.
However, John talks to Natera. He says Scorpius will kill her, and she goes into his mind to ask the neural clone, who all but confirms this. Breaking John out, she tells him she will help him if he can get her away from Scorpius.
Back on Moya, Talyn closes in and destroys the Zenetan ship operating the Flax, as Chiana takes out the remaining pirate on board Moya. Now Rygel and Jo'thee are able to return to pick the others up.
In the meantime, the escaping John, Rorf and Natera run across Scorpius. John picks up a gun, aims it at Scorpius, but just cannot shoot it. The chip is stopping him. One of Scorpius's aides fires at John, but Rorf takes the shot as John shoots the aide. Aeryn, D'Argo and Bakesh arrive on the scene though, and all hell breaks loose, with Natera abandoning them. It quickly becomes clear they are not going to reach the landing area where they are supposed to meet Rygel and Jo'thee, so they ask Crais if Talyn will destroy the depository while they shield themselves in a container.
Rygel and Jo'thee arrive to pick up Zhaan and Stark, just as Scorpius's chip persuades John to give himself up again. Aeryn knocks him out so they can get to the container, and just make it in before Talyn decimates the depository, supposedly destroying Scorpius as well.
Later on Moya, with everyone bar Rorf and Teurac safe, Rygel's very happy at their new riches (taken probably from the depository ruins) as Bakesh tells them he will take Rorf's and Teurac's shares to their families. Meanwhile, Zhaan and Chiana are none too happy about Moya's state, and Crais reveals to Aeryn that Talyn made the decision to return to help Moya on his own, and Crais could not stop him. Talyn is still able to make his own decisions, regardless of his link with Crais.
However, John is seriously going mad. Scorpius's neural clone is busy blaming him for Scorpius's death, and basically being annoying. Seriously annoying. In the end, John asks D'Argo to kill him.

What I thought
A bloody good, action-packed episode. A fair few good plot points, but this is action all the way. Top notch. 5 out of 5.
