The Hidden Memory
Continuing from the previous episode, Moya goes into labour and is sure there’s something wrong with her child – it’s not a normal Leviathan. Meanwhile Aeryn, D’Argo and Zhaan head down to the Gammak base to try and rescue John.
The Aurora Chair isn’t able to extract the details of the wormhole technology from John’s mind. In brief rest periods he’s thrown into a cell with a man called Stark who appears to be mad after over a hundred sessions in the Chair. However, he’s not quite as mad as he’s pretending to be, and is working on a way out of the cell.
Gilina sabotages the Chair which shows false memories of John giving the wormhole technology to Crais. Scorpius then puts Crais in the Chair, which eventually reveals that he knows nothing about wormholes, though it does show him murdering his second in command to keep his secrets safe.
Back in the cell John’s in a bad way. Stark takes off the mask obscuring half of his face – underneath is a glowing light which helps John to rest.
Back on Moya, she’s trying to give birth but the child is covered in weapons. Pilot deduces that it was infused with Peacekeeper DNA. Unfortunately the size of the baby means it can’t get clear of the birthing channel and is starting to panic and charge its weapons. Chiana helps with the birth and the baby finally breaks free.
Aeryn breaks John and Stark out of their cell. In the firefight during their attempt to escape, Scorpius fatally wounds Gilina. Back on Moya, Stark helps to comfort her in her dying moments.
Synopsis by Callie Sullivan.
By Gordon Lawyer on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 6:31 am: Shouldn't images from the Aurora Chair be from a first person perspective rather than third person? Also, I noticed that some of the images were from scenes which Crichton wasn't present.
There's an error in the summary. Moya's child didn't get stuck because of his size, but because some of his gunnery got caught on something.
By Callie on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 9:46 am: Yeah, his size due to his gunnery! ;-)
