Plot Outline:
A huge alien asteroid mothership plummets to Earth and crashes into the Pacific ocean, causing a great disturbance off the coast of Japan. Inside, Lyekka prepares to devour "Japaneseland." Kai and Xev take a moth down to Earth to retrieve Vlad's cryopod control unit, which will replace the broken one on the Lexx. Fearing that Lyekka will consume the entire universe if she is not stopped, Xev and Kai decide they must take action to stop her. On the rocky Japanese shoreline, Kai and Xev encounter a meditating monk. While Kai joins him in meditation, Xev explores the area. She meets another monk named Wyatt... he takes her to meet his Master, a spiritualist who claims he can put people in touch with their past lives. Xev is analyzed by the Master (who is actually Wyatt in disguise). He is actually a fraud. His real agenda is to lure people in with spiritual mumbo-jumbo and then steal their organs to sell on the black market. He straps Xev to a table and attempts to put her under anaesthesia so he can begin removing her vital organs. Meanwhile, Prince is on global TV, predicting the world's weather will cause massive death and destruction. The ocean churns and a huge, Godzilla-sized Lyekka emerges and strides toward shore. Xev struggles to break free and is saved by Lyekka's giant foot, which crashes down on the temple, crushing Wyatt. Kai and Xev jump in a moth as Lyekka stomps through Tokyo, crushing everything in her path. Stan plans to use the Lexx to fire at Lyekka, but a separate manifestation of Lyekka charms him on the Lexx viewscreen. Kai takes action, cleverly using his brace to topple the giant Lyekka. At that moment, on the Lexx, the image of Lyekka that has been mesmerizing Stan disintegrates and is gone. Carrots everywhere howl with rage. Kai and Xev fly back to the Lexx. They are just about to head off to the stars once again when the asteroid mothership rises out of the ocean on giant legs. It heads right for Japan and starts destroying it. Lexx returns and blasts the mothership to smithereens. This time, at the moment of its demise, all carrots all over the world are simultaneously deactivated, becoming as still and harmless as — well, ordinary vegetables. The world is saved and the Lexx crew heads back out into space. As soon as the Lexx is far away from Earth, the real alien mothership enters the solar system. This one is not the size of Tokyo... it dwarfs the moon as it closes in on the Little Blue Planet.
