"I, E.T." is the second episode from the first season of the television series Farscape, written by Sally Lapiduss and directed by Pino Amenta. This episode originally aired following "Thank God It's Friday, Again", episode #6. Synopsis A Paddac beacon wired to Moya's neural system activates as a result of the removal of her control collar in the previous episode, transmitting location signals to any nearby Peacekeeper ship. Crichton suggests landing Moya in a nearby planet's swamp to muffle the signal, and it is done. Then, Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo search the planet for a Leviathan anaesthetic ("clorium") to help ease Moya's pain during the surgical removal of the beacon. Rygel is the only one small enough to squeeze through Moya's walls to access the beacon's wiring, but is reluctant to help. In an altercation with Aeryn, Rygel bites a chunk of her arm and eats it, and Aeryn threatens his life. Zhaan intercedes, and ultimately Rygel and Zhaan share an intimate moment as he reveals that he is afraid of damaging Moya by accidental ineptitude. The Leviathan's arrival on the planet does not go unnoticed: armed locals go to the swamp and begin searching for them. D'Argo and Aeryn attempt to draw them away from Moya while Crichton continues to search. He is discovered by another two of the planet's locals: a nine-year-old boy named Fostro, and his mother Lyneea, a scientist who has spent much of her life searching for extraterrestrials. Crichton finds himself now on the other side of the same situation he himself has only just found himself in: the first member of a species to encounter an extraterrestrial. Back on Moya, Rygel is cutting the beacon, and Zhaan uses her ninth level Pa'u abilities to share Moya's pain. Crichton spends an enjoyable yet harrowing time with Lynnea and Fostro, as Lynnea is excited about meeting him, but afraid of and for him, as well. The military officers who fund Lynnea arrive to search for the E.T.s, and Lynnea hides John. John discovers that clorium is a simple food spice, and after gaining Lynnea's trust, she gives him some. Unfortunately, D'Argo has been captured. Working with Fostro, John frees D'Argo and they escape. John shares fond adieux with Lynnea, and they return to the ship. On Moya, Zhaan passes out under intense pain, and Rygel, momentarily trapped in a non-responsive ship, panics. But he finally succeeds
