The crew visits a planet full of happy workers. Soon D'Argo and Zhaan start working and refuse to return to the ship. Meanwhile Rygel's body fluids become explosive and Aeryn and Pilot must learn why before Rygel dies.
Read Full Recap » (warning: possible spoilers!)This episode wasn't that great. After Chrichton and D'Argo have fight they get a transmission from D'Argo three days later welcoming them to a planet. Moya's crew go along and see that D'Argo is no longer angry he now is happy to see Chrichton and welcomes him into his new home. Rygel falls ill and Zhaan an Crichton are forced to stay at the new and imporoved D'Argo's house. Zhaan realises that something is up meanwhile Chichton is infected with a parasite and Zhaan turns like D'Aargo. Soon Crichton learns that they are being controlled by something in the food and anyone without the parasite becomes infected.
Now Crichton is forced to expose what is happening and reveal the peacekeep involvement. Overall it was an average episode i have seen much better but it wasn't that bad. This one was to do with D'Argo.

Thank god its Friday, again- what a strange name for this episode. Anyhow, D’argo goes into Luxon hyper rage, and the crew follow him to a strange worker planet (which is a bit Nazi like as they are all blonde). All is not as it seems and John uncovers a conspiracy as D’argo and Zan are brainwashed. Rygell falls ill and we see him in a pair of large knickers and then he starts to pee acid. Peacekeepers become involved in the story and Aeryn Sunn becomes a scientist. It’s not as mad as it sounds, and it’s an ok episode. It is also the second episode directed by Rowan Woods, the director of “Back and Back and Back to the Future.” He also goes on to become a regular Farscape Director.
Yet another excellent episode that starts very weirdly, D’Argo wants to harm John and kill him but when John tries to find him D’Argo suddenly starts to hug him. There is something strange going on and everyone seem very happy.
There is also a girl who tells him not to try to leave, he doesn’t get it and when he tries to confront her the next day on a working day she and some men put a worm in him and tell him to eat.
Meanwhile Rygel is being under attack or at least he thinks so. His body fluids have become explosive and they have to freeze him or else it will kill him. Aeryn tries to cure him and she succeeds. The fluid came from the food.
While John and Zhaan stay with D’Argo, John isn’t feeling well and he noticed that Zhaan is now under the same influence. John cannot tell anyone about the worm or he will be killed. The people who are immune try to ask for help because they are being controlled and the food is being made as weapon by the peacekeepers.
So when Aeryn and de-frozed Rygel come back they use him and show that the fluids really are explosive and they tell the people to be free and make weapons for their own.
Back at the ship D’Argo thinks he will never be happy but Zhaan says that he will.
This episode was excellent, adventurous and just downright entertaining. Another Farscape success.

The white lady on the planet was really annoying. Her halting speech pattern was very distracting. No explanation is given on why she looks the way she does. Her skin is totally white. While its unlikely she goes outside much, her skin should be simply pale and not white. Also, no reason is given for her bright red eyes.
This episode did have a few important parts. The first is that Aeryn is starting to learn that she has more to offer than just her skills as a warrior. D'Argo breaks down towards the end of the episode and says that all he really wants is happiness. So both of our warriors are growing slightly out of the stereotypical warrior image. And another indicator about how ruthless and cruel the Peacekeepers are.
I am wishing that the series would get into storylines that more directly tie into the main storyline of the series. So far, most of the shows have dealt with the characters developing and growing as a crew while on various meaningless adventures.
They came, they saw, they got brainwashed... hide show
Perhaps not my all time favourite, and in my view not a lot going on in the overall plot. Good episode though, as they run around doing their thing to solve the mystery of D'Argo turning into a farmer.
My favourite part of this episode is what is going on with the characters - D'Argo we learn more about particularly his childhood aspiration to be either a farmer or warrior. As for Aeryn, the shock of having to turn scientist for the day to save Rygel’s life showed she has more then just warrior instincts also. Rygel spent most of the episode frozen or ejecting exploding liquid from his body in various ways bringing a definite humour to the situation as well as letting Aeryn get on with the “junior chemistry set” instead of a pulse rifle.
In this we learn more about the ruthlessness of the peacekeeper, and I think for the first time we truly see what affect they have had on other cultures and how devastating they can be.
Generally a good episode, not the best but okay.
