Lexx 2.15 Woz

Stan and Xev are in the galley, eating the less than appetising gunk, when 790 drops a bombshell - As a love slave Xev has an inbuilt expiry date and she has only 79 hours left to live!

After waking Kai they discuss the problem. The Lusticon that originally transformed Zev was destroyed when the cluster was destroyed, but 790 remembers that there was a prototype, sent to the planet Woz.

The Lexx makes it to Woz within the 79 hours, but when they fly down in a moth they get sucked into one of the tornados that ravage the surface.

They land safely, but unfortunately on top of one of the inhabitants, squashing her...

...with some guilt, they head for a nearby fortress.

They are welcomed by the sisters inside, especially Xev, but their leader, the Wozzard, questions Stan about the woman who was squashed. He had thought it the work of the dark lady; one who destroys women.

He agrees to help Xev with her problem and straps her into the prototype Lusticon. His condition is that Stan and Kai complete the dead girl's mission to destroy the dark lady.

The Wozzard tells of how the dark lady transforms women into love slaves and then sells them, but gives them an expiry date of only 7 days to keep the men coming back for more. As evidence, he shows them a holofilm of one such woman. With 790 unable to control the Lusticon (because of a missing component) they have to rely on the Wozzard.

It becomes a simple choice: Xev's life or the dark lady's, so Kai and Stan head off...

Back with the Wozzard, things aren't going quite to plan as he wants to turn Xev back into her original, ugly form, much to the glee of the other non-love slave sisters.

At the perimeter of the dark lady's fortress Kai and Stan find an energy barrier, which Kai discharges using his body, and they head inside...

Xev awakens to a nasty shock: not only is she fat and ugly again, but the Wozzard lied - he never had the ability to alter her expiry date! He leaves Xev to die, while he and the sisters set off on a suicide mission to destroy the dark lady.

Kai and Stan reach the front door and are asked why they are there. Before Stan can stop him Kai says he's there to kill the dark lady. Not surprisingly they aren't invited in, so Kai uses his brace to get in another way.

Within, they are attacked by love slaves with cluster energy weapons - fortunately ones which don't work on Kai. He continues on, leaving Stan guarding the two love slave prisoners.

This is a less than brilliant plan as there's probably not another man in the whole of the Light Universe more susceptible to a love slave's charms than Stan. Sure enough he quickly becomes distracted when they start caressing themselves...

...and he fails to notice the armed love slaves creeping up behind him. Soon he is the prisoner. Scared for his life, he says he'll do whatever they want. He's in luck though - as love slaves they're fascinated by men - so they force him to strip!

Outside, the sisters are being picked off one by one as they attempt to blast their way in through the front door, but finally succeed.

Before Stan is completely naked, the sisters arrive, berate the love slaves and reveal to them the dark lady's heinous 7 day lifespan. It appears the Wozzard has been lying however, as the love slaves point out that they've already been there for more than a month!

Despite their resolve waivering, the sisters open fire, as do the love slavs, and they destroy each other leaving Stan all alone, so he decides to head back to Xev...

Kai locates the dark lady, but mysteriously pauses and requests she remove her mask before he kills her. She pleads with him not to kill her as she is a good person.

The Wozzard turns up and says that he'll take over, having only wanted Kai to breach the perimeter fence. Kai notices Xev's absence, but the Wozzard claims she's happy.

With the clearly deranged Wozzard counting down to his explosive suicide, Kai decides to leave, taking with him the monitor globe from the dark lady's lusticon - the one 790 needs to control it.

The Wozzard detonates his bomb, as Kai leaps out a window...

Down by the perimeter fence, Stan is just out of reach of the explosion, but turns to see the dark lady's tower completely obliterated. Fortunately, Kai and the globe have survived.

With the Lusticon back in full working order, 790 is able to turn Xev back to her more beautous form...

...one with the premature expiry date removed.

Xev's so happy she gives 790 and Kai a big kiss. Stan's all puckered up, but he's out of luck and left wondering if any love slaves survived the explosion. As the Lexx departs, the planet is, like so many others, devoured by Mantrid drones...
