Lexx 2.1 Mantrid
As the Lexx wanders the Dark Zone, Kai experiences an
unfamilar sense of motivation and persuades Zev to return to
the light universe. Stan doesn't want to, but Zev persuades him by promising to sleep with him.
Once there they recover a larva of the gigashadow...
...and transport it to a desolate planet...
...prison of Mantrid, former chief bio-vizier of His Shadow, who agrees to revive the insect, but when he decides to remove an organ from it...
...Kai destroys his artifical body...
...and His Shadow transfers his consciousness into the insect.
The newly revived insect sets off after Kai and Zev...
...but Stan arrives in a moth, stuns the insect, and rescues Zev and Kai...
Who thrill him with the bad news, and they set off back to the Lexx to destroy the planet.
Meanwhile, Mantrid's cell-mate uses the insect mind-transfer organ to create a strange Mantrid-insect-machine hybrid...
...whose first act is to squash the insect, ending the menace of His Shadow.
Stan orders the Lexx to destroy the planet to end the menace of His Shadow.
Finding the dead insect remains amongst the planetary rubble, the crew of the Lexx head off to find a nice planet for a change, but they're not the only ones...
