Coming out of Starburst, Moya clips a Nebari ship. Feeling compelled to help, they allow the crew on board. They find that the ship was transporting a prisoner (Chiana), and are asked to help them to the nearest Nebari outpost.

They shortly find out that one of the members is Captain Durka, who had faked his own death. But Salis claim he has been mentally cleansed.

Rygel attempts to kill Durka with an explosion. It was ineffective, but seems to shake loose the Nebari Mind Cleansing. Durka returns to his cruel intentions of torturing Rygel, takes Aeryn hostage and gains control of most of Moya's systems.

In the meantime, Chiana frees herself. They find her captor, Salis, dead in a hallway. No one is ever sure if it was Chiana or Durka who dealt the killing blow.

John is able to convince Chiana to help them rid the ship of Durka. They are able to get Durka onto his ship and John uses the other bomb of Rygels to dislodge Durka's ship and send it hurtling into space with no controls. Chiana remains with the crew.
