Episode Guide
A Constellation of Doubt

Synopsis

Sikozu checks her contacts for any clue as to the location of Katratzi, where Aeryn has been taken, but without success.� Meanwhile, John watches a documentary on the aliens' visit to Earth, intercepted by Pilot.

The documentary consists of talking heads and video footage of the aliens, shot by John's nephew Bobby.� Psychologists, sociologists, priests and others all give their opinion of the aliens' characters, and whether they present a threat.�

While some commentators are positive about the aliens, there is much in the broadcast which disturbs John.� The documentary contains strong reactions to Aeryn's revelation that Earth could easily be taken over by hostile aliens, and horror at D'Argo's tongue.� Chiana is dismissed as deeply troubled, and John as suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.

There is also speculation about whether Aeryn and John are having a relationship in the programme, and some commentators make xenophobic comments about human-alien hybrids.�

The rest of Moya's crew try to stop him watching the programme, but with no luck. As the documentary unfurls, John becomes more and more depressed at Earth's unreadiness for contact with aliens.

Racking his brain, he realises he has heard the name Katratzi before. He asks Chiana where they heard it, saying she was there at the time, but she has no idea.

On the documentary, the presenter welcomes the Sheriff that Moya's crew ran into in 1986 (in Kansas). Now half-mad, the Sheriff does clearly have evidence of the aliens' earlier visit - evidence that the presenter takes as proof that there has been a cover-up.

Sikozu comes to John's room, and is nearly shot by him when she will not admit that she knows anything about Katratzi. Suddenly an image on the TV screen makes John realise why he remembers the word - Stark/Sikozu said it in one of the unrealised realities John visited via the wormhole.

Storming to Pilot, John asks him to set a course to the wormhole leading to Earth. Pilot and D'Argo agree to do so. John then visits Scorpius, and tells him he will swap the wormhole knowledge for his help.
