2x16 心锁
2x16 The Locket
Aeryn外出侦察一片可疑的雾区时，与Moya失去了联系。当她的运输舱返回时，她竟变成了一个老态龙钟的老妇人，船员们顿时警觉起来。虽然Aeryn表面上没有离开Moya多长时间，但她却说自己在这段时间里度过了160周年的光阴。她结了婚，丈夫和儿子们都已经死了，现在她和心爱的孙女相依为命。她回来就是想警告其他船员，Moya已经落入时间陷阱，如果不赶紧离开这片雾，他们可能永远困在此地。
不知所以然的船员们只好静观其变，但是Aeryn偷偷开动她的运输舱，又飞回了附近的星球。Crichton跟随她来到这个风沙漫天的贫瘠星球，想强行把她带回去，但是一位拿着手枪的Sebacean姑娘阻止了他－－她就是Aeryn的孙女Ennixx。看起来Aeryn的故事都是真的：她自然变老，而Moya却困在了时间里。Aeryn要Crichton立即返回Moya，因为这片迷雾只允许任何飞船在五十周年内进出一次，如果Crichton错过了时机，他也将在这个星球上呆上半个世纪。Crichton不情愿地启程离开Aeryn和Ennixx，但是当他试图穿越正在收缩的迷雾时，与Moya的通讯突然中断。随即，迷雾和Moya一起消失了！
在Moya上，Stark和Zhaan同时感到时间有些不对劲。通过强大的精神能量，他们将意识连结在一起，触及到了时间连续体（注：哲学、占星学和物理学上通常使用Space-Time Continuum，即时空连续体，不单独使用时间连续体）。他们发现Moya被一个"中心环"所捕获，在这种地方，时间不复存在。
在那颗星球上，很多年过去了。Aeryn早已适应了这种平静的新生活，但Crichton却不一样。他现在是一个理想破灭的"老家伙"，无法再见到自己的家人和朋友。Aeryn要Crichton和自己的女儿Ennixx在一起过幸福生活，但是Crichton坚定地拒绝了。他已经失去了和Aeryn在一起的机会，但是没有人可以取代Aeryn在他心目中的地位，尤其是Aeryn自己的亲孙女。
迷雾再次打开了通道，Crichton和Aeryn乘坐那艘破旧的运输船回到了Moya。当他们着陆之时，Aeryn平静地去世了。Crichton痛不欲生，缓缓打开了Aeryn心爱的随身纪念盒－－她生前总是说，里面放着她这一生挚爱之人的照片。正如Crichton长久以来的愿望，里面是他的照片。
虽然时间变慢了，在Zhaan和Stark的帮助下，Crichton还有一线希望从"中心环"中解救Moya……他必须抢在时间完全停止之前手动开启Moya的"星爆"，但他现在已经老得走不动了……
2x17 丑陋的真相
2x17 The Ugly Truth
Crais邀请Moya全体船员到Talyn上会面，令大家意想不到的是，Crais竟提议解除这艘年轻战舰的武装。
Crichton、Aeryn、Zhaan和Stark对Crais的动机均表示怀疑。但是Crais强调自己和他们一样是和平卫士的通缉犯。为了将年轻气盛的Talyn所能造成的伤害减到最低，Crais需要众人合力移除Talyn的恐怖武器，安装由Plokavian商人提供的一种不致命武器作为替代品－－他们叫它"压制网"。
然而，当Plokavian商人全副武装的飞船靠近时，Talyn突然开火将其摧毁。包括Crais在内，所有人当场目瞪口呆。愤怒的Crais要求Crichton、Aeryn、D'Argo、Stark和Zhaan离开Talyn返回运输船，而他带着Talyn通过"星爆"离开了。第二艘Plokavian飞船赶到事发地点，在运输船飞回Moya之前将所有人擒获。
Plokavian人为了找出真相，将全体船员关进"大牢"，并一个一个地审问。是谁让Talyn开火的？Talyn自己？Crais？其他人中的任何一个？每一个人对此事件中的说法都不一致。他们的自相矛盾让Plokavian人十分恼火，Plokavian人开始怀疑这些船员是不是在为某个人掩盖些什么。精神紧张的船员们变得激动起来，火药味十足。D'Argo攻击了Stark，Stark的面罩在混战中被打掉。他脸上的光芒变得不可控制，几乎要将其吞没。Stark重新拾起面罩戴好后，将真相告诉众人：他的身体只不过是真实自我的一种物理形式，他并不是一个物质体，他的能量可能会在某个疆界内消散。
孤立这些犯人然后个个击破的方式不奏效，失望的Plokavian人决定处死所有的船员。当他们宣布这个决定的时候，Stark站了出来，声称是他导致Talyn开火的，与其他人无关。Plokavian人接受了他的自白。Stark将自己的面罩交给Zhaan，在众人惊恐的目光注视下完成了行刑。
Crichton、Aeryn、D'Argo、Zhaan回到Moya后，Crichton和Aeryn说出了真正的真相……
2x16 The Locket
Having lost contact with Aeryn while she was out scouting a strange mist, the crew becomes alarmed when her Transport Pod returns to reveal - Aeryn is now a frail old lady. A seemingly coherent albeit physically aged Aeryn insists she's lived 160 cycles since leaving Moya. She had a husband and sons who have died and a granddaughter she dearly loves. She has only returned to warn the others that they are the ones caught in time - and that Moya must get out of the mist before becoming trapped forever.
Not knowing what to make of her story, the crew bides for time - but Aeryn escapes back to her Transport Pod and flies back down to the planet. Crichton follows her, locates her on the surface of this barren and windswept planet, and attempts to wrestle her back into the Transport Pod - only to be confronted by a gun-toting Sebacean: Aeryn's granddaughter, Ennixx. Apparently Aeryn's story was true after all: Aeryn has aged normally, and it is Moya who is stuck in time. Aeryn urges Crichton to go back to Moya immediately; the mist only clears enough to permit ships to enter or leave once every fifty cycles; if Crichton misses this "window", he'll be trapped on the planet for half a century. Crichton reluctantly leaves Aeryn with Ennixx - but as he attempts to fly through the quickly closing mist, he loses transmission with Moya. Suddenly the mist is gone... and so is Moya!
Back on Moya, Stark and Zhaan agree that time feels 'out of sync' to them; using their powerful spiritual energies to link their minds, they touch the Time Continuum. They discover that Moya is caught in a 'Center Halo' - a place where time does not exist.
On the planet, years have passed. Aeryn has managed to adapt to their new, quiet way of life, but Crichton has not. He's a disillusioned old man, having lost all hope of ever seeing his family and friends again. Aeryn urges Crichton to seek happiness with her granddaughter, Ennixx, but Crichton steadfastly refuses. Having lost the chance at a relationship with Aeryn, there is no way anybody else is going to take her place in Crichton's affections - least of all Aeryn's own granddaughter.
When the opening in the mist finally reappears, Crichton and Aeryn return to Moya in the old Transport Pod. By the time they reach Moya, Aeryn has died of old age. Mourning her loss, Crichton finally opens Aeryn's cherished locket - a keepsake of hers which she always claimed contained a picture of her only love. As he'd always suspected, it's his picture inside the locket.
Though time itself is now slowing down, there's still a chance for Crichton to extricate Moya from the Center Halo with Zhaan and Stark's help... but Crichton will have to force his aged body to reach the Command and manually initiate StarBurst before time literally runs out.
2x17 The Ugly Truth
When Crais invites Moya's crew to a meeting aboard Talyn, the last thing they expect is a proposal to disarm the young gunship.
Crichton, Aeryn, D'Argo, Zhaan, and Stark are suspicious. But Crais reminds them that he is, like them, a fugitive from the Peacekeepers. To minimize any harm that the young, willful Talyn might cause, Crais needs their help to remove Talyn's dangerous weaponry and install in its place a non-lethal Plokavian weapon called a 'Dampening Net'.
However, as the Plokavian arms dealers' ship approaches, Talyn surprises everyone including Crais by firing upon the Plokavian ship and destroying it. Crais angrily forces Crichton, Aeryn, D'Argo, Stark, and Zhaan off Talyn and back into their Transport Pod. Crais and Talyn StarBurst away - but a second Plokavian ship approaches and captures the Transport Pod before it can reach Moya.
The crew is incarcerated and then, one by one, interrogated by the truth-seeking Plokavians. Who caused Talyn to fire? Talyn himself? Crais? One of the others? Each person's version of the events on Talyn differs, causing the Plokavians to become irate with the contradictions in the testimonies - and suspect that the crew is covering up for someone.
The tensions in the crew become outward aggression when D'Argo attacks Stark, knocking his faceplate off in the scuffle. Stark's normally calming light is uncontrolled, threatening to engulf him. When recovered, Stark explains that his body is only a physical manifestation of his true, incorporeal self - his energy can be dispersed through other realms.
Unable to isolate an individual culprit, the frustrated Plokavians decide to execute the entire crew. When they announce that the execution will be by dispersal, Stark intervenes, claiming that he and he alone cause Talyn to fire. The Plokavians accept his admission of guilt. Stark hands his mask to Zhaan revealing his normally luminescent face to now be dull. Then, as the others watch in helpless horror, Stark is executed.
But as Crichton, Aeryn, D'Argo, and Zhaan return to Moya, Crichton and Aeryn reveal their knowledge of the actual guilty party...
