Durka Returns
“Nebari mental cleansing doesn’t get the tough stains out.”
After starbursting, Moya collides with another vessel, which is damaged. Pilot brings the ship aboard in an attempt to help. The first occupant out of the ship is recognised by Rygel as being Durka, the Peacekeeper captain of the Zelbinion who captured and tortured Rygel a hundred cycles ago. Also on board is Salis, a Nebari who claims that his people have made Durka incapable of violence through mind control; and a Nebari criminal called Chiana.
John talks with Chiana, who claims that her only crime was not to conform and who says that she will now be mind-cleansed like Durka was.
Rygel is convinced that Durka is still his old self and tries to kill him with a bomb but the others think he’s just paranoid and lock him in his quarters.
Chiana escapes from her cell. During the hunt for her, John finds that Salis has been killed. As the hunt continues, Durka reveals his true colours, taking Rygel and Aeryn hostage and telling Rygel that – ironically – his assassination attempt broke his mental cleansing. While Durka is trying to destroy Moya’s baby so that she can starburst away from Nebari space, John forms an uneasy alliance with Chiana to try and lure Durka into a trap. It fails but John damages Durka’s transport pod and Moya expels him into space to await collection by the Nebari.
The crew allow Chiana to stay on board. John asks her where she was when Salis was murdered. Chiana smiles but refuses to answer.

By Wolverine on Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 2:20 am: Did anyone else think of Starfleet when they saw the albino alien (sorry don't remember the name)?
By Gordon Lawyer on Sunday, December 08, 2002 - 5:23 am:What albino? Besides the regular crew, the only ones in this episode were Chiana, Durka, and Salis. None of them look like albinos to me. There was an albino in Thank God It's Friday Again (the one that gave Aeryn the woodies 
).
Do they really expect us to believe that Durka gave himself that crewcut using a knife?????
By WolverineX (Wolverinex) on Sunday, January 17, 2016 - 12:44 am:Doesn't Chiana have white skin?
It's been a long while until I found your reply but I must have been thinking of her.
albino - A person or animal lacking normal pigmentation, with the result being that the skin and hair are abnormally white or milky and the eyes have a pink or blue iris and a deep-red pupil.
I didn't even watch TGIFA I think.
By WolverineX (Wolverinex) on Sunday, January 17, 2016 - 12:46 am:Even here they ask, is Chiana an albino?

By WolverineX (Wolverinex) on Sunday, January 17, 2016 - 12:55 am:After all Chiana is the only albino I have ever seen!
By Francois Lacombe (Franc0is) on Sunday, January 17, 2016 - 5:16 am:Chiana is not an albino. She is a Nebari, a grey-skinned humanoid species.
