While on a transport pod piloting lesson with Aeryn, Crichton gets caught in an energy field which is invisible to their sensors. Back on Moya, a strange guest docks and comes aboard to warn the crew about The Flax, an invisible energy net created to catch ships.

Moya responds to a distress call from another pregnant Leviathan. On arrival at a planet they are contacted by a Delvian who informs them that the distress call was a deception. It was her way a getting Moya to come to them. The Delvians have a hidden agenda though. They want to forcefully take Zhaan's knowledge and learn how she overcame her insanity.

Crichton is sucked down a wormhole and crash lands on a beach...on Earth, Australia. Although the home he has returned to isn't as real as it seems. Everything gets worse when the rest of Moya's crew shows up and are experimented on...killing Rygel.

Scorpius attempts to extract the wormhole technology from Crichton's mind, while Aeryn mounts a rescue operation. Crais finds himself at Scorpius' mercy, and Moya gives birth.

Chiana leaves Moya and goes to 'grave planet' populated by reckless thrill seekers who play dangerous and life threatening games.

The crew returns from a Commerce Planet with a load of Crackers and a meek alien called Traltixx, who promises he can alter Moya's electromagnetics to make her untraceable. Crichton is skeptical; it seems too good to be true. As they pass through a constellation of pulsars, an intense paranoia affects the crew, turning them violently again each other. Crichton must fight against his own paranoid delusions to work out what Traltixx is actually doing and how to stop him.

A temporal distortion traps Aeryn and John on a planet's surface, where they live out the rest of their lives -- while Moya remains trapped in orbit, experiencing only hours. Stark returns to the ship with news of D'Argo's son.

Crichton turns himself over to Scorpius in order to free Jothee. With all the mercenaries now aboard Moya, the crew form a plan to rescue Crichton and destroy the depository.

Moya docks at a commerce station so the crew can spend some of the money they acquired from the depository. Disaster strikes however when the station is hit by a storm.

The crew of Moya start blacking out and missing portions of time. Pilot becomes inhabited by another entity who needs to 'taste' each crew member to determine if they too are being inhabited.

Aeryn goes to a planet in search of someone who can contact her father.

Elac arrives at the planet where D'Argo, Jool and Old Woman are investigating the ruins of an ancient civilization.

Crichton must find the third probe to end the magnetic summer, while avoiding Grayza and Oo-Nii.

After accidentally returning to Earth, Crichton discovers it he is in 1985 and he has altered the time line, causing his father to be scheduled to fly on the doomed shuttle 'Challenger'.

Crichton and Scorpius travel to one of the 'unrealized realities' where Crichton believes he heard Stark say "Katratzi." Meanwhile on a Scarran ship, Aeryn resists torture.
