On the Cluster, the capital
of the league of 20 000 planets, a ship with the power to destroy planets lies waiting for it's master - "His Divine Shadow".
But the soon to be executed rebel Thodin has his eyes on it too, and mangles the city's computer system while engineering
his escape. Using the chaos that erupts, the death sentenced security officer Stanley Tweedle and the escaped "love-slave"
Zev evade capture and eventually team up with Thodin... with the undead assassin Kai following, with orders to kill them all. Zev decides they should go
to Brunnis, the original home of the Brunnen-G, in hopes of finding something that can prolong Kai's life. When they arrive
they find it barren, except from holographic messages left by the eccentric "Poet Man". As they enter the library, they are
totally unaware that back on the Lexx Giggerota has sprung back to life and plots to steal it with the help of the remaining
Divine Predecessors. The Lexx is forced to land
on a planet to eat and replenish its energy supply. While they wait, Stanley and Zev go outside to bury Kai, who seems to
have run out of the protoblood that kept him functioning. On their way back, Zev insists on investigating a structure. Too
late they discover that it is filled with insane people obsessed with getting "clean bodies" to make "pattern". Kai is running out of protoblood,
and a desperate Zev forces Stan to set course back to the Cluster through the fractal core. When they arrive they find they
entire planet barren - everybody killed in "the cleansing", in preparation of the birth of the Gigashadow. Possessed by remnants of
His Shadow, Kai convinces As The Lexx intercepts a transmission
from the Luvliner sex-satellite, and Xev demand they investigate
an abandoned world, still transmitting TV signals. The computer host offers them parts in different TV shows, though they
had better get good ratings or they'll end up canceled... The Lexx intercepts the porn-flick
a nearby space transport is running as entertainment, and 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 takes aboard 5 youths
in who've drifted in space for 300 years in cryo-stasis. With nothing better to do they decide to party, until one of them
corrupts Kai's programming, turning him into a psychopathic killer. Xev starts quite a commotion
when the Lexx lands on a planet inhabited only an order of monks, none of whom have ever seen a woman before... Norb is found floating alone
in space, nearly out of oxygen he is taken aboard. To their horror, it turns out he has been modified by Mantrid, and releases
a handful of drones who begin tearing the ship apart, building new copies of themselves. The Lexx is forced to land
on a mysterious planet to seek help when When 790 reluctantly reveals
that Xev has a built-in expiry date that's soon up, the Lexx heads to the planet Woz where the only remaining love-slave transformation
device is. As Mantrid is eating up the
universe with exponentially increasing speed, Kai sees the Lexx's only option as traveling to the center of the universe,
hoping to discover a remaining portal to the Dark Zone. But on their way, they fly into a giant living "web" and then everything
goes blank... The Lexx is captured by a
web-like organism that tries to devour it. The creature takes control over As the Lexx approaches the
centre of the universe a strange building appears out of nowhere... with the Brunnen-G battle song emanating from within.
Going inside, the crew discovers a theatre troupe performing the history of the Brunnen-G. They ask Kai to play his part in
the story - the starring role as it turns out. With only hours to go before
Mantrid has demolished the universe, Out of fuel, the crew of
the Lexx has no other choice than to enter stasis while the Lexx drifts through space - looking for something to eat. 4000
years later, Stan and Xev find themselves awakened by the mysterious and cruel Prince, the first inhabitant of the two planets
the Lexx has settled into orbit around to make it up to the ship. 13/02/2000 May While Kai goes down to Water
with a swarm of Moths to find food for the Lexx, Gametown is attacked by Duke's
forces in the stolen moths, though Kai manages to take back one and return to the Lexx with Bunny. Trying once more to go
down to Water for food, With their moth damaged in
the battle with Duke's forces, Stanley, Kai and Xev are stranded together with the living Kai and Bunny on the deserts of
Fire. They find an abandoned balloon, but it does not have enough fuel to carry them all to the nearest town until Kai volunteers
to go the rest of the journey on foot. But then they come across Duke and Fifi... Xev and Stan find their way
into the towering city they landed on, but discover the inhabitants aren't exactly the friendliest or sanest around... Kai, still disabled, is taken
away to bureaucrat hell for an adjudication. Meanwhile, Stanley and Xev follow Prince underground, hoping that he will lead
them though the maze of tunnels to where Kai is. Back on the Lexx, 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. Xev's tracks lead to Girltown,
and Kai goes in to look for her, while Stan waits outside - where he manages to get himself captured. There he meets Queen,
who quite literally wants his body... Stan and Kai crash down on
Water. Kai starts to sink towards the centre of the planet, while Stan drowns. The security guard is awakened on a beach by
Prince, who tells him he now has to account for his life - prove that he deserves to spend the rest of eternity on Water,
rather than Fire. Xev and Kai go to Fire to
confront Prince about In the near future, an alien
spaceship is discovered orbiting the moon. At the urging of his top advisor, Prince, the president of the Kai and Xev are separated

up with a group of UFOlogists while searching for her. Xev is forced to adapt to
life in prison, and Prince decides it's time for Stan to give him the key to the Lexx. Meanwhile, a new threat arrives from
space - an army of carrot-like mechanical drones that start to devour anybody they come across. After being encouraged to
stand up to Prince by the First Lady, the President makes a deal with Stan, and frees him from the ATF compound so he can
kill Prince with the Lexx. However, it doesn't take long for Prince to figure out what they're up to... Prince and 790 lure Stan
and Xev back to Earth using the reality show Xevivor, where 10 males compete for a night with Xev, as bait. Discovering that they're
flying right over Going to They're back on the Lexx,
but Stanly discovers that a woman
bearing an uncanny resemblance to Lyekka is working in the porn industry, and decides to seek her out at the latest shoot.
Xev starts acting strangely and having blackouts. Trying to get back on the
Lexx, Stan, Xev and Kai run across two druids who recognize them as holy figures. Promising to accompany the druids to a religious
ceremony, Stan and the others are transported to the space shuttle. They steal it and find their way back to the Lexx thanks
to 790, however unbeknownst to them, Vlad is waiting for them aboard... Kai and Stanley seek out
the "Feast of Mograth", hoping to resurrect Xev. There they meet Oberon, king of the faeries, who grants their request...
But in return demands their eternal servitude unless they can escape his forest before sunrise. As the alien carrot probes
start to infest more and more of the planet, Prince sees his best option to escape up to the Lexx. Unfortunately, one of the
killer vegetables follows him up there... In order to get a lead on
the whereabouts of the key, Prince goes along with a rather twisted plan cooked up by 790. Without the key the Lexx
can't do anything, so Stan and Xev decide to settle on Earth. They pick the quiet country town of "Prime Ridge", but soon
manage to stir up trouble. Wanted for murder, and the
whole area swarming with police and FBI, Stan, Xev and Kai seek refuge in "Mort's Funeral Parlor". Mort takes an unusual interest
in Kai's protoblood, hoping it can bring back to life his one true love. While the president finds
himself haunted by Prince in the form of a TV set, Stan, Xev and Kai are abducted by Field Commander Moss, leader of the American
Freedom Rangers, a para-military group devoted to freeing the American people from the grip of the Beast - Izenbar Prince. As the Lexx's hunger becomes
critical, it starts to slowly digest itself. Hoping for an alternative way off the Earth, Xev contacts Doctor Longbore, getting
permission to join him on the space ship. This does however leave the Lexx wide open for Prince, who orders the President
and Bunny to take a shuttle up there and take control of the ship using the key... About to be destroyed, Prince
requests Kai complete their game of chess, but with this time with real stakes. Should the undead assassin win, he'll get
his life-essence back. Should he loose, Stan and Xev's lives are forfeit. The Lexx crew encounter a
space capsule filled with a bunch of politically motivated twenty-year-olds (Haley, Amber, Ryan, Josh). They claim that they
have gone up in space with the intention of transmitting a message to make a political statement about the dying earth, and
globalization. With financing from Haley's trust fund, they were able to pay the Russians to help them get up in space. Stan and Xev decide that
they can stay on board the Lexx for the time being as long as they behave. We
soon learn that Amber, Ryan and Josh have a hidden agenda to steal the Lexx and do away with the crew. They pretended to buy
into Haley's political agendas only as a means to get up into space. When Haley finds out that she has been deceived by her
friends, 790 convinces her to kill them off one by one. 790 spots a black pak (a destructive weapon) lodged under the edge
of the bridge and instructs her on how to use it. After obliterating Ryan and Amber, she sets her sites on Stan. Stan and Xev race to awake Kai from the cryochamber so that he can protect them, while Josh attempts to
fly off in a moth. A skirmish ensues resulting in Haley and Josh simultaneously killing each other. At the end of the episode, Stan, Xev and Kai put 790 in restraints to prevent him from stirring up more
trouble. An asteroid mothership appears
out of the blackness of space. A metal hatch opens and a tadpole-like creature shoots out and heads for the Lexx. Stan awakens from a nightmare in which he was eaten by Lyekka and discovers that the alien mothership is
hovering outside of the Lexx. Before he can finish telling Xev and Kai what he has discovered, an alien who has assumed the
physical appearance of Lyekka from Stan's dream appears on the Lexx. She explains that she is a plant and that her species
needs to consume the living matter on earth in order to survive. The Lexx crew
feel that this mass annihilation is not morally correct, but they understand that the aliens do have natural survival instincts.
They suggest that "Lyekka" meet with the world's leaders (specifically President Priest) in order to find some logical solution.
They take a moth to Vietnam where Priest, accompanied by Bunny, is to deliver a speech at the Khe Sanh Kuntry Klub. While
there, he has also arranged to play a round of golf with Pope G. Rota who will be in attendance. When the Lexx crew land in a moth, they stumble upon a decrepit building that serves as a storage room
for golf equipment. Under the floor, they discover a group of American POWs who have been in hiding since the Vietnam War.
They join the Lexx crew and Lyekka in the search for President Priest. When they
find Priest on the fairway giving a speech, the POWs open fire with their automatic weapons. Vietnamese caddies and a group
of Monks guarding the Pope return fire. A battle ensues as Hueys swoop over the golf course firing their deadly weapons at
the POWs. The moth is destroyed and Stan and Priest are kidnapped during the
battle by Pope G. Rota. Pope tortures them as she explains her thirst for political power. Xev, Kai and Lyekka journey upriver
and rescue Stan and Priest in the nick of time. Priest agrees to let Lyekka eat
Kai, Xev and Stan stop off
in As the Lexx flies away from
Earth toward a new planet, the crew discovers a strange organic bulb on the galley counter. The bulb opens and reveals two
round berries and a small potted plant. A holographic image of Lyekka's face appears and informs the crew that this is her
thank-you gift for their helping her on Earth. Lyekka tells Kai the potted plant — a Yowraa-Taang — will open
and bloom if he sings to it. Stan and Xev have been given the berries, which Lyekka says are the rarest and most exquisite
delicacy in the two universes. Slightly skeptical, Stan and Xev at first hesitate
to eat the berries. Eventually they decide it's worth the risk since the berries are a welcome change from "Lexx food." Kai
sings to his plant, which opens into a glowing flower that disperses shimmering particles into the air. Kai decides to save
his energy and steps into his cryopod. Meanwhile, on the bridge, Xev and Stan
begin to suffer hallucinations. Prince appears and convinces Xev that Kai is now alive again. Prince convinces Stan that Xev
wants him dead so she can get the key back. Stan and Xev's hallucinations intensify and soon the two chase each other around
the Lexx with axes and spears. Visions of Vlad and strange voices fill the passageways and begin driving the two of them mad.
Stan and Xev fight in the cryochamber, where the Yowraa-Tanng plant has penetrated and destroyed the cryopod control unit. Kai, awakened by the skirmish, separates Stan and Xev and prevents them from killing
each other. Kai hooks them up to the protein regenerator to restore them to their normal selves. Kai explains that the berries
and plant were deliberately misrepresented by Lyekka in order to kill the Lexx crew. He also mentions he can no longer freeze
himself in the cyropod because the control unit is destroyed and that he will run out of protoblood in a matter of days. A huge alien asteroid mothership
plummets to Earth and crashes into the Prince visits the Lexx warning
of "Earth's date with destiny". Emotions abound as Kai begins to feel again and the Lexx's health is ailing.
