The Lexx is forced to respond to an emergency signal on a nearby planet, when Lyekka awakes - hungry. They find a crashed ship, seemingly empty except for a cyborg body (which 790 decides to make his own).
Possessed by remnants of His Shadow, Kai convinces Stanley to return to the ruins of Cluster in the Light universe to search for more protoblood. They find insect larva, but it is dormant and can't produce protoblood. So Kai insists on taking it to Mantrid, an infamous scientist that might be able to revive it.
Stanley messes up the cryo-stasis revival procedure, and Kai reverts back to His Shadow's assassin for a moment, puncturing Stanley's heart. With Stanley in stasis they locate an orbital medical facility, though without any funds, they are turned down until Zev threatens them with the Lexx.
