405. Promises -- Crichton is forced to play nice with the back-from-the-dead Scorpius after he proves to be the only one who can save an ailing Aeryn, who has a hard time coming clean about her pregnancy. Meanwhile, a new nemesis takes aim at the Moya crew for harboring a wanted assassin; and a mole within Peacekeeper ranks ruins Braca's latest plot. (12 Jul 2002)

406. Natural Election -- Crichton's efforts to reconcile with Aeryn are put on hold when he makes a breakthrough in his wormhole research and Moya is threatened by a parasite. (19 Jul 2002)

408. I Shrink Therefore I Am -- Crichton and Noranti return from a shopping expedition to find Moya hijacked. Crawling through the Leviathan's ducts looking for a way to rescue his crewmates, John gets assistance from an old enemy; he'll need it, since the rest of the gang is in the attackers' pockets...literally.. (02 Aug 2002)

409. A Perfect Murder -- Venturing into Tormented Space, it doesn't take Moya's crew long to run afoul of the locals. It's no surprise when they're drawn into a tribal conflict, but for a change it's Aeryn who starts the trouble...by assassinating the leader-elect. (09 Aug 2002)

410. Coup By Clam -- The crew makes a pit stop for a Leviathan tune-up, but sampling the local cuisine turns out to be a really bad idea when their meal turns into an attempted extortion-by-food-poisoning. Buying a cure would be no big deal -- except that the vital ingredient is being kept as a secret weapon of the planet's underclass, in preparation for a coup. (16 Aug 2002)

411. Unrealized Reality -- An interdimensional entity, convinced that Crichton's efforts to master the wormhole are a threat to the stability of the universe, targets the earthling for execution. (23 Aug 2002)

412. Kansas -- The Moya crew finally gets to Earth, 1985. Unfortunately, Crichton discovers that he has somehow disastrously changed the course of time — his father Jack is now slated to fly the doomed Challenger mission. Lying low in Crichton's hometown, the "aliens" use the timely Halloween celebrations to remain (almost) anonymous, while Crichton tries to revert the timeline - in the process putting his younger self in mortal danger. (January 10, 2003)

413. Terre Firma -- The crew returns to Moya - in orbit around modern-day Earth - to find Jack and a contingent of Earth dignitaries waiting for them. The aliens are introduced to an amazed and apprehensive public, but soon find life in the public eye difficult. As Crichton tries to readjust to life on Earth, his relationships become strained, especially with Aeryn. Meanwhile, a monstrous assassin is sent by Grayza to hunt for Crichton. (January 17, 2003)

414. Twice Shy -- The crew stops a passing trading ship to try to barter for maps of Tormented Space. Chiana feels compelled to purchase an abused slave girl, Talikaa (Paula Arundell), from the traders. When the crew starts acting strangely, Aeryn becomes extremely emotional, Rygel displays a generous streak, and Chiana finds herself ready to declare celibacy - could it have anything to do with the meek slave they liberated from the traders? And just what are Scorpius and Sikozu up to, when they team up as allies? Soon Talikaa disappears and they realize she may not be as innocent as she seemed. (24 Jan 2003)

415. Mental As Anything -- Scorpius takes Crichton, D'Argo and Rygel into an advanced training camp where students learn mental discipline.

While Scorpius, knowing Crichton will need this training to withstand Scarran interrogation if captured, forces Crichton into torturous anti-Scarran training, D'Argo must face the demons from his past ... alone. (31 Jan 2003)

Bringing Home the Beacon -- The females, Aeryn, Sikozu, Chiana and Noranti, go to a commerce settlement housed on a Leviathan carcass fused with a planetoid in the hopes of obtaining outlawed mods as way to camouflage Moya against long-range scans. There they happen to stumble upon a secret meeting, one that will change the future of the Uncharted Territories. (07 Feb 2003)

417. A Constellation of Doubt -- A human TV show displays the reaction to the recent alien visitation, as John tries to recall the name "Katratzi"... "Officer Aeryn Sun. General Ka D'Argo. Sikozu Svala Shanti Sugaysi Shanu. Dominar Rygel, the 16th. Chiana. Utu Noranti Pralatong. The Pilot. These are the first extraterrestrials known to have visited the planet. It has now been several months since they left with Commander John Crichton, aboard their ship Moya. And besides their names, what else do we really know about them? -- Help me get her, and I will give you wormholes. I have an idea of how to find the Scarran base. Aeryn for wormholes. That's the deal." -- After trapping Crichton and the others on a Scarran base, Scorpius reveals his true agenda. (14 Feb 2003)

418. Prayer -- John and Scorpius search for the location of the Scarran base, while Aeryn is tormented by her captors...

And I'm running out of time. So I'm going to forget about you. I am now willing to make a deal with anyone, with anything to save my child. Not because I can... but because I have to." (21 Feb 2003)

419. We're So Screwed, Part 1: Fetal Attraction -- The crew docks at a Scarran Border Station in an attempt to rescue Aeryn from her captors. Rygel fakes a case of dermaphollica. Scorpius tells everyone that all vessels on route to Katratzi must stop for inspection and quarantine. In the mean time, the nurse is giving Aeryn drugs to keep her docile, and says that she could make things so much easier for Aeryn, if only she'd trust her. Noranti feeds Rygel some herbs that cause him to resurrect a dormant case of highly contagious dermaphollica, this time for real. (28 Feb 2003)

420. We're So Screwed, Part 2: Hot to Katratzi -- Moya's crew travels to Katratzi, a Scarran base where Scorpius is being tortured for wormhole information. The base is home to both Kalish and Charrid forces - underlings for the Scarrans. The crew plans to incite a confrontation between these two contingents, hoping this diversion will allow them to free Scorpius, and prevent wormhole knowledge from falling into Scarran hands. (07 Mar 2003)

421. We're So Screwed, Part 3: La Bomba -- Trapped on Katratzi, the crew are caught up in a deadly power struggle that could spell their end... After thwarting Crichton's escape plan, Scorpius denies that he's a Scarran spy, and demands Crichton's help to destroy a cavern of vital Scarran flora - claiming it will also provide them with a better means of escape. And while Rygel and Noranti fight an evil Stark, Sikozu must reveal her true colors if they are all to survive. (14 Mar 2003)

422. Bad Timing -- Now safely back on Moya, Crichton learns of the Scarrans’ intention to invade Earth. He feverishly analyzes his wormhole data and comes up with a way to collapse the wormhole to Earth - but the method is not one that he can implement alone. Meanwhile, Braca demands Scorpius be released from Moya and returned safely to his Command Carrier - and Aeryn has a few surprises of her own, including telling John that the baby has been released from its stasis so she is going to have it and that John is the baby’s father. As John and Aeryn kiss in the boat, a ship approaches out of nowhere. The the alien in the ship hears "Neutralize invaders for analysis." The alien ship swoops down and fires at them. John and Aeryn shatter into small pieces. We see a final image, of their remains on the boat, and close on the engagement ring, which is upright in the remains. The "TO BE CONTINUED" phrase ends the series. (21 Mar 2003)
