Added DiffLines:
* UnwittingPawn: Maldis explains that what he wanted out of all of this was the Command Carrier. If Crais packed it in, there'd be no chance of gaining control of the ship, so he used Crichton to ensure that Crais will keep hunting and eventually find his way to this planet.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: After sending Crais back and explaining what this was all about, Maldis reminds Crichton about the promise that only one combatant would die. He proceeds to feed on Crichton, though Zhaan soon intervenes.

Meanwhile, the duel between Crichton and Crais continues from one end of Maldis' lair to the next; Crichton is always on the defensive and always trying vainly to convince Crais that the death of his brother Tauvo was an accident, while Crais is always on the attack and refusing to listen. At one point, however, when a flaming bottomless pit temporarily ends the duel, Crichton tries again and actually appears to be getting through to Crais; however, Maldis appears and shows Crais a series of illusions designed to get him angry all over again- the first, a memory of his father ordering him to keep Tauvo safe; the second, Tauvo in full uniform, looking pretty happy to see Crais; finally, [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Tauvo's flaming corpse.]] After managing to escape from the enraged Crais, Crichton finally realises that Maldis is actually feeding on their rage and fear; Maldis confirms this, and also informs him of the fact that the life of one of the two combatants will form the main course. To that end, he offers him a deal; if one of them were to die, the other would be returned to his ship, safe and sound.
