As Stanley wakes from a dream, he finds a beautiful female bearing a startling similarity to someone he used to know next to him. Just as he and Kai are trying to figure out what make of her, they make first contact with astronauts from the isolated planet Potatohole.

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).

The Lexx is forced to land on a mysterious planet to seek help when Stanley collapses. Unfortunately, the place has a strange effect on the dead, as Kai goes off on his own reciting poetry, while the corpses buried nearby arise at night to devour the living.

Stanley starts to consider settling on Water, doubting that the dark universe holds anything better. When they go down to the planet looking for food, he finds the town Garden to be a promising candidate for permanent residence.

Prince's forces attack Garden, and kidnap Xev. Stan and Kai hijack one of their crafts and take up pursuit. But the enemy starts to manoeuvre in place above them, firing arrows to puncture their balloon.

A huge alien asteroid mothership plummets to Earth and crashes into the Pacific ocean, causing a great disturbance off the coast of Japan. Inside, Lyekka prepares to devour "Japaneseland". Kai and Xev take a moth down to Earth to retrieve Vlad's cryopod control unit, which will replace the broken one on the Lexx. Fearing that Lyekka will consume the entire universe if she is not stopped, Xev and Kai decide they must take action to stop her.
