Summary[]
The episode follows a crew of sleazy space miners - two sexist men and one large, manly woman - who contract a gender-changing and ultimately fatal virus which they then unwittingly share with the crew of the Lexx. Sexual tension is high on the Lexx till the crew encounters a damaged space transport carrying class 13 bio materials. Infected survivors of the transport make it onto the Lexx bringing with them a virus that triggers gender reversal with anything it encounters.
Plot[]
While the disease does not affect the external appearance, it changes the genitals and the voice and works on the mind, making men extremely demure and making women into voracious sexual predators. In this episode Stanley Tweedle finally fulfills his dream of having sex with his crewmate Xev Bellringer, although it is arguably more of a rape and during the encounter their genders are reversed. As Xev puts it, "I don't know how I got it... but I aim to use it!" (Xev, strangely, seems to develop something like an American southern accent when she has the disease.)
Kai, being dead, is immune to the disease, although the Lexx itself is not, and begins behaving in a stereotypically feminine manner. Interestingly, the Lexx becomes pregnant later in the series, suggesting that, despite its masculine voice, the ship could have actually been female (or at least hermaphroditic) all along.
The episode ends with the crew restored to normal and the miners being attacked by Pa Gollean, the hillbilly patriarch who stars in the following episode, White Trash. The Lexx picks up a signal of two girls calling for men to the planet Pornos.
