On the other side of the cloud-portal, John and Aeryn have spent another fifty-five cycles trapped in a tiny pocket universe. There is one habitable planet there, occupied by a small community of descendants of people who previously passed through the portal. The two of them have apparently become somewhat intimate, altalthough Aeryn is teasing John about a locket that contains a picture of the "love of her life". She claims that it's her dead husband from her earlier time on the planet, but John suspects that it's him.
When the time comes for the portal to reopen, John and Aeryn say farewell to her grand-daughter and attempt to fly back to ''Moya''. Aeryn tells her grand-daughter that Peacekeepers are born in space and must die in it. And that's fulfilled, as although they make it back to ''Moya'', where only another day has passed, Aeryn dies of old age on the way.
John theorises that exactly retracing ''Moya's'' path back through the cloud may allow them to escape. However, the mist is now so thick that normal drive power will not move the ship, and only a dangerous "reverse Starburst" manoeuvre will give them any hope. Everyone agrees that they'd rather risk death than spend the rest of their lives on the dull agricultural colony.
John mourns over Aeryn's body and opens the locket to reveal his own face. The Starburst preparation process causes everyone aboard ''Moya'' to be frozen in time. Zhaan and Stark are able to combine their powers and use the channel created by [[{{Recap/FarscapeS01E12RhapsodyInBlue}} John's previous Unity with her]] to allow him to move enough to manually activate the drive.

Stark finally explains what he has to tell D'Argo: he has found D'Argo's son Jothee, but he is being sold into slavery. D'Argo flies into a rage but the others reassure him that they will do all they can to rescue his son.
John and Aeryn are tinkering in the workshop together: they both have a strange feeling something emotional happened between them but can't explain it. John has found Aeryn's locket in her transport pod, looking inexplicably aged: there is nothing inside it but dust.

''Moya'' has entered a peculiar "stellar mist" to hide from the Peacekeepers. Stark has recently arrived with a message for D'Argo, and Aeryn is on reconnaissance in a transport pod.
When Aeryn's pod returns a day after her departure, however, it is battered and filled with overgrown plants, descended from a medicinal herb Zhaan gave her to take with her. And Aeryn herself is aged by decades and begging to leave ''Moya'' again to rescue her grand-daughter. She claims that she has been away for 165 cycles, but a planet visible on the other side of the cloud appears too inhospitable for her to survive for more than a day or two.
Aeryn drugs Chiana, who was left to look after her, and flees back to the planet. John follows her down in another pod, and meets her twenty-something grand-daughter. She begs him to fly back to ''Moya'' and leave her, but when he does a portal of some kind closes just before he enters the cloud, blocking him from ''Moya''.
Back on ''Moya'', Stark talks to Zhaan about legends of "centre halos", places in space where dimensions meet and time freezes. They enter unity and try to sense any temporal abnormality. They succeed only too well, as they and everyone else aboard ''Moya'' are frozen in time, but conscious, for several unpleasant seconds. They also realise that ''Moya'' itself is experiencing a slower rate of time than the rest of the universe, so everybody they and the rest of the gang know could be dead already.
On the other side of the cloud-portal, John and Aeryn have spent another fifty-five cycles trapped in a tiny pocket universe. There is one habitable planet there, occupied by a small community of descendants of people who previously passed through the portal. The two of them have apparently become somewhat intimate, alt
