Plot Overview

A Peacekeeper homing beacon starts broadcasting, using the ship's hull as an amplifier, and there's no easy way to get rid of it. Moya is convinced to land in a swamp on a nearby planet, and the mud successfully dampens the beacon's signal. While Rygel and Zhaan work at removing the transmitter, John, Aeryn, and D'Argo head out on the planet to find some Chlorium, which they can use to numb Moya's pain. In the process, John runs into a native scientist and her son, and goes through a first contact situation - as the alien.

Notes

It is revealed that there are 6 cargoes that Leviathans are barred from carrying. One of them is Chlorium, which numbs them. Another unnamed one was used to put Moya into a deep sleep while the Peacekeepers attached the Control Collar, homing beacon, and who knows what else.
