Hoping to obtain information about wormhole technology and/or capture Crichton, the Scarrans interrogate Aeryn enroute to their home base...
Scorpy agrees to John’s bargain, his help to find and rescue Aeryn in exchange for wormhole information. The blood bonding that Scorpy wants to seal the deal is pretty disgusting. No wonder John was so hesitant about it :x Was Scorpy’s blood white/grey?
The action flips between scenes of Aeryn being tortured by the Scarrans, and John and Scorpy’s attempts to find Katratzi.
When we first see Aeryn she is praying to a long gone PK god, for someone or something to tell John where to find her. She has such utter faith in him :thumbsup:
At first the Scarran is willing to kill her for information about John, then they discover she is with child and the torture turns more subtle as they try to find out who is the father. Aeryn tries everything she knows to hold secret the information about her child. She lies, she prays, she thinks of her former lover, Velorek. She even invents an imaginary lover and says he is the father. The torture scenes in this episode are some of the most horrific I can remember on Farscape. Maybe because it is Aeryn, some one we are used to seeing as strong and brave and in control. To see her bound and crying and helpless is just too much :tear:
Crichton and Scorpius go through a wormhole to find “Bizarro Moya,” (the alternate reality version seen in Unreal Reality). John hopes that Sikozu/Stark will be able to tell them the location of the Scarran base, but of course that’s too easy. People must die first. Scorpius kills Noranti/Rygel in the hopes that Sikozu/Stark can channel the Scarran as she crosses him over, but in this reality Stark can only help those people she/he/it(?) loves. Crichton is unable to pull the trigger on Aeryn/Chiana but that doesn’t save her life as Scorpius takes the gun and kills her. Sikozu/Stark crosses A/C’s soul to the other side, in the process remembering the necessary information about Katratzi.
The last scene of Aeryn is of her on her knees, denouncing her god and swearing that she will do a deal with anyone or anything to save the life of her child :fear:
