Summary

Season One debuted in Canada on April 18, 1997 on Citytv and consists of four two-hour TV movies (sometimes screened as eight one-hour episodes) following the crew of the Lexx as they escape from the Cluster and encounter planets. When Sci Fi obtained the rights to broadcast the series in the United States, it changed the title to Tales from a Parallel Universe. Some episode guides do not list the two-hour movies as a season but list the subsequent seasons as the first through third.

Season Two debuted in Canada on December 11, 1998 on Space and consists of twenty forty-five-minute episodes with a story arc concerning the evil scientist Mantrid who tries to convert all matter in the Light Zone into one-armed drones. Mantrid largely succeeds before he is defeated by the crew of the Lexx, but not without causing a Big Crunch that results in sending the Lexx through a singularity to the Dark Zone.

Season Three debuted in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2000 on the British Sci-Fi Channel, and consists of thirteen episodes in which the Lexx is trapped in orbit around the warring planets Fire and Water, and the crew encounters an enigmatic, cheerful, and evil being known as Prince. The two planets share an orbit and atmosphere, allowing the inhabitants to pass freely between them. Fire is the afterlife for all evil souls, the inhabitants of which are continually engaged in attacks on Water, which is the afterlife of all good souls. The rulers of Fire are Prince and Duke, who both reincarnate whenever it suits them. Water has no ruler and contains a small population of hedonists on floating islands.

Season Four debuted in the USA on July 13, 2001 on the Sci-Fi Channel, and consists of twenty four episodes in which the Lexx arrives at Earth in the early 2000s, only to find that Prince (now named Isambard Prince and head of the ATF) and several other old adversaries have arrived there as well. Under the control of different individuals, the Lexx destroys large chunks of Earth and the solar system before the final episode, televised on April 26, 2002.

His Divine Shadow rules the Light Zone with dark powers and an impenetrable bureaucracy. As fate would have it, four unlikely heroes are thrown together to wreak havoc on the Cluster: Stanley H. Tweedle, a bumbling Class 4 Security Guard; Zev, a strong willed but hideously ugly orphan transformed into a sexy love-slave; Kai, a poet-warrior transformed into an empty headed assassin by His Divine Shadow; and 790, a Zev-obsessed robot head.

In the hopes of extending Kai's un-life, Zev decides they should go to Brunnis, the original homeworld of the Brunnen-G.

Meanwhile, Giggerota forms a deal with the Divine Predecessors to betray the crew of the Lexx. The sun of Brunnis begins to go supernova as the Brunnen-G stabilizers are deactivated, but the sun and its orbiting blue star speak to Kai and Zev, while the Time Prophet speaks to Stan through a recording, helping them regain control of the Lexx. A moth strands Giggerota on top of one of the stabilizer towers (in punishment for her eating part of it), and she dies in the explosion of the sun as the Lexx flies to safety.

11	7	"Love Grows"	David MacLeod	Jeffrey Hirschfield	January 22, 1999 (1999-01-22)
The episode follows a crew of sleazy space miners – two men and one large woman – who contract a gender-changing and ultimately fatal virus which they then unwittingly share with the crew of the Lexx. 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 during the encounter their genders are reversed.
12	8	"White Trash"	Chris Bould	Lex Gigeroff & Paul Donovan	January 29, 1999 (1999-01-29)

Stanley Tweedle refuses to go down to investigate, but Lyekka insists that she needs food, and if she doesn't get it she'll be forced to eat the crew. Lyekka plans to eat any survivors down on the surface, but Xev understandably has some moral qualms about this. Once inside the crashed ship, they find jars containing still-beating hearts and 790 finds a cyborg body with which he hopes to finally consummate his love of Xev. A parody of the 1979 space horror-thriller "Alien".
14	10	"Wake the Dead"	Chris Bould	Jeffrey Hirschfield	February 12, 1999 (1999-02-12)
A group of restless and none-too-intelligent teens comes aboard the Lexx, and after 'partying like stink' one of them accidentally reprograms Kai to become a psychotic killing machine. Kai then sets to work systematically murdering each of the teens, taking an uncharacteristic delight in violence. After hunting and killing his prey one by one Xev and Stan fear they may have to abandon the Lexx forever only to be saved at the last moment when Kai runs out of Protoblood. A parody of teen slasher films.
15	11	"Nook"	Bill Fleming	Paul Donovan	February 19, 1999 (1999-02-19)
Stanley Tweedle isn't interested in exploring, but Xev convinces him to do so, saying that she'll have sex with him if she doesn't find somebody to have sex with on the planet first. Stan agrees, and when they venture to the planet they find an order of monks who profess to have no idea what a woman is. It is a repressive and stagnant place, where the monks copy writings out of ancient books without knowing how to read, so that they will not be corrupted by dangerous ideas.

Meanwhile, Xev is stirring up trouble by making sexual overtures to various monks.
16	12	"Norb"	Paul Donovan	Paul Donovan	February 26, 1999 (1999-02-26)
Norb, the adopted son of Pa Gollean (see ep2.08), runs across a giant Candy House Satellite. Suddenly, it's consumed by Mantrid Drones (alternatively, the Candy House Satellite could be bait constructed by the Matrid Drones to trap Norb. It contains a colourful version of the Divine Order emblem), who then begin to chase Norb. Norb barely escapes by ejecting as his Charger is overrun by drones. Lexx and the crew hear his distress call in space and pick him up. Once inside he acts very differently from when previously encountered and suddenly his body comes apart to reveal 5 Mantrid Drones. In the process, Norb/Drones kill 790, crushing the tiny piece of human brain that enabled him to love Xev. The drones also deliver a message from Mantrid: "Let the contest begin". Kai and Xev use Kai's protoblood and a protein regenerator to bring 790 back. The Drones begin to "eat" Lexx and make more drones with his parts. The Lexx must reverse its particle drive to save itself.
17	13	"Twilight"	Chris Bould	Paul Donovan, Jeffrey Hirschfield & Lex Gigeroff	March 5, 1999 (1999-03-05)
When Stanley Tweedle becomes gravely ill, the crew of the Lexx take him to the planet Ruuma. There they encounter a ghastly family: the father, Roada, is a scheming sleazeball, the last vestige of the Divine order, left behind on the planet by his brethren after the death of His Shadow; the mother, Hidea, is a shrew; the daughter, Lomea, is a surly goth teen. Ruuma has the power to bring the dead back to a kind of shambling life, and the many corpses of His Divine Shadow's earlier bodies reside here, constantly trying to break in and devour the family. It was Roada's job to look after the bodies when the Cluster was still in operation, but now he's losing control of the situation and it seems the family won't survive long. The same forces that animate the corpses has an unusual effect on Kai and after Xev is bitten it's up to Lyekka to save the day.

19	15	"Woz"	David MacLeod	Paul Donovan & Lex Gigeroff	March 19, 1999 (1999-03-19)
When 790 reluctantly reveals that Xev has a built-in expiry date that's only 79 hours away, the Lexx heads to the planet Woz where the only remaining Lusticon, the love-slave transformation device, is. Before they can use it to reset Xev's expiry date, however, Stan and Kai are sucked into a war being waged between the Wozzard and The Dark Lady, each having very different opinions about the morality of the Lusticon. This episode is a parody of the movie "Wizard of Oz".
20	16	"The Web"	Chris Bould	Jeffrey Hirschfield & Paul Donovan	March 26, 1999 (1999-03-26)
The crew learn that the only way to escape Mantrid is to flee to the Dark Zone. The only remaining portal is at the exact centre of the universe, and Kai warns them that many bizarre and improbable things exist there. A sinister, alien creature captures the Lexx and possesses the ship's hapless captain, Stanley Tweedle. The ship's robot, 790, attempts to alert the crew that something is wrong with Stan, but by now they've all gotten so used to 790 abusing Stan that nobody takes 790's warnings about Stan seriously. The Web tells the story in a relatively straightforward manner, while The Net fills in the background material, explaining various plot threads and introducing others.
21	17	"The Net"	Chris Bould	Jeffrey Hirschfield & Paul Donovan	April 2, 1999 (1999-04-02)
The Net fills in the background material, explaining various plot threads and introducing others from the previous episode, "The Web." The two episodes are very similar and share a large number of scenes, possibly due to budget constraints.
22	18	"Brigadoom"	Bill Fleming	Paul Donovan & Lex Gigeroff	April 9, 1999 (1999-04-09)
As the crew of the Lexx desperately flee Mantrid's army of robot drones, they encounter a strange, floating theater in space. Once they are inside, an elaborate musical production begins that recounts the history of Kai and his people, the Brunnen-G. Kai and Xev both find themselves taking part in the musical: Kai as himself when he was alive, Xev as Kai's unnamed lover. At the episode's end the musical's message of proudly fighting even in the face of sure defeat convinces Stanley Tweedle to join his friends in battle against Mantrid. The inspiration for this episode is the musical Brigadoon, where a cursed town only appears one day every hundred years.
23	19	"Brizon"	Paul Donovan	Paul Donovan	April 16, 1999 (1999-04-16)
In an attempt to fight the Mantrid drones, the crew seek assistance from anyone still alive in the rapidly dwindling universe and conveniently find Brizon, Mantrid's teacher, mentor and predecessor in the role of Supreme Bio-Vizier. Brizon is little more than an engineered, animated corpse, who hijacks Xev's liver, and tries to extort sex from her (hopefully using Stan's penis). He continues his amusing rivalry with Mantrid. His plan to defeat Mantrid involves capturing a working drone arm and activating a code he had previously installed in Mantrid's machine's programming. Mantrid plays dead for a little while, and then announces that it was all his devious plan from the start.
24	20	"End of the Universe"	Paul Donovan	Paul Donovan, Lex Gigeroff & Jeffrey Hirschfield	April 23, 1999 (1999-04-23)
In a last-ditch bid to save the light universe from Mantrid's drones, 790 discovers (way too late), that he can create self replicating drones of his own, to fight Mantrid. Kai and 790 hatch a cunning plan to distract Mantrid, long enough for him to make the mistake of moving too many drones around them, thus engulfing them all in a giant black hole, collapsing the light universe, and shooting the Lexx into the Dark Zone. Lyekka's pod is damaged, and she demonstrates yet more inexplicable talents, transforming herself into a Lyekka drone, and pulling Mantrid from his interface. She is killed in the process, somehow lodging part of herself in Stan's mind.

After jumping down to planet Water, Kai finds the beautiful May, the lone survivor of an attack on a Water city. He requisitions an attacking gondola, and sails over to planet Fire.

After all being rescued by Kai, May begins to convince Stanley to destroy Fire. Lexx is starving, and they become aware of how stuck they are. As May lapses into death from a small wound on her shoulder, Prince comes to Stanley as a ghost, and tells him that he can have May forever, if he destroys planet Water.

There is one inhabitant who is not quite right: Fifi. He doesn't play the games by the rules, and he quickly betrays everyone, by stealing all the moths and food, then heading over to Fire, to surrender himself to Duke, so he can destroy Water. Stanley's attempts on Water are foiled by Xev, who nearly strangles him, then smothers him with her breasts. May ridicules him, and heads off with Prince.

Duke and Fifi attack Gametown. They kill everyone he knows and raze the town. Duke likes Fifi. Kai requisitions an attacking moth, and then heads over to Boomtown with Bunny and Xev. All they do in Boomtown is eat and have sex. Stan is thrilled to find a number of the women willing to sleep with him, but Xev isn't so lucky, as the men have adapted way of avoiding sex by interminable foreplay. Bunny makes several efforts to have sex with Kai, which he finally deterrents only by cutting of his left hand to demonstrate that he is not alive. Back on Fire, May kills Prince in a questionable gambit, then Duke and Fifi decide they'll paint May and his former deputy with explosive tar, and burn them. Duke and Fifi fly to Boomtown and burn it.

The Lexx team: Bunny, Xev, Stan, and the two Kai's find a wrecked gondola and pump it up. During their flight, they realise that there is not enough fuel to make it across the lava lakes, unless there is less weight. The protoblood Kai volunteers to jump overboard and walk through the lava on foot. Duke decides it's easier to just to sit in the desert and die, which worries Fifi a bit. Duke explains the Water/Fire reincarnation system. However, the Lexx team find them, and stupidly pick them up, unable to solve the moral dilemma. Bunny gets thrown overboard. Stan and Xev make it to tower of K-Town, and then defend themselves against mortal-Kai (who is really Prince), and Fifi.

They meet some people who enjoy throwing rocks at them. Kai climbs up the tower, finds them, and then has a systems failure. They also meet Mantrid, who is devoid of memory, but highly encouraged by the idea that he is the greatest biovizier who ever lived. He participates in Kai's diagnostic procedure, does something stupid, and then Kai cleanses him. Xev and Stan manage to throw Kai off the tower to realign him, but it doesn't work, and he gets captured.

Kai is brought before "The Commission", who, in a room full of candles, endeavour to civilly interrogate him, exploring his human evil. Kai is not interested, and requests to be thrown off the tower. The adjudicatrix asks him whether he has killed anyone as an assassin. Kai then delivers his famous speech: "I have killed mothers and their babies. I have killed great philosophers and proud young warriors. I have killed the evil and the good, the intelligent, the weak and the beautiful, but it's been a while since I slaughtered a whole room full of petty bureaucrats". Meanwhile, Stan encounters an amateur surgeon, who feels that he has parts that "he'd feel better without". Prince plays good guy, and dies saving Stan. He wanted Stan to love him.

They hook Stan up to 790's diagnostics and Kai determines that the key could be released during sexual rapture, instead of the ecstasy near death which Prince is so familiar with. Prince then concerns herself with a complicated ritual to give Stan the ride of his life. Kai gets suspicious and tests the Xev impostor twice, to see if she kisses like a real Xev. After obtaining the key, she then countermands the order to destroy planet Fire, and directs Lexx to Water. Kai then kills her, and the key flows to a dismayed Stanley.

Stan wants to stay and teach the gardeners how to please him. Xev longs for a man, and wants to go. Excitedly, the gardeners recreate the Lyekka plant using a hallucinogenic dream ritual.

Xev encounters a romantic Texan boy who wants to marry her before he can have sex, but all his friends want a crack, too, so he has to kill them all. Xev gets arrested and handcuffed for murder.
40	3	"P4X"	Chris Bould	Paul Donovan w/ Lex Gigeroff	July 27, 2001 (2001-07-27)
Xev is admitted to a local Texan jail, where they do things mighty strange. The wardens' goth daughter Lomea (in a reprise of her role from the 2nd Season episode 'Twilight') abducts attractive people from around the jail, and puts them on her P4X pirate internet show. Xev becomes a star with her loveless love slave story, and later in a sex show with other abductees. Meanwhile, Stanley is pinned high on a wall in the ATF, alongside psychopathic schoolboy, Digby, divulging all the secrets of the key to the Lexx. Prince tries to get the key, but doesn't realise that Digby has his own plans, and his own weapons. Hattie Hayridge and Craig Charles cameo.
41	4	"Stan Down"	Colin Bucksey	Lex Gigeroff w/ Paul Donovan	August 3, 2001 (2001-08-03)
Goaded by the first lady, Priest does a deal with Stan to kill Prince, but ends up wiping out Orlando, Florida. In a plan to "save the presidency", he blames Cuba, but Prince isn't convinced, so organises a trip down Dealey Plaza to drill home the importance of loyalty, having the first lady sniped in a scene styled as a pastiche of the Zapruder film. Genevieve G Rota is elected pope, randomly from a real estate guide. A cat becomes possessed by a carrot.
42	5	"Xevivor"	Christoph Schrewe	Jeffrey Hirschfield	August 10, 2001 (2001-08-10)
790 attempts to kill Stan and Xev, by designing the TV game "Xevivor", to be played on island Zig Zig, which he knows to be infested with ruthless carrot probes. The prize for the survivor of Xevivor is Xev. Stan gets entered as a "wildcard" contestant by 790, to compete against beefcakes. As the TV crew and contestants get turned into carrot zombies, Farley (reincarnated Schlemmi, from Season 2, and Fifi, from season 3), the producer is largely concerned with his possible homosexuality. Meanwhile at Longbore's space lab, Tina tries to seduce Kai, while showing him pictures from Transylvania.
43	6	"The Rock"	Stephen Reynolds	Lex Gigeroff w/ Paul Donovan	August 17, 2001 (2001-08-17)
Stan goes to Newfoundland to inspect his loyal subjects, but they spit in his face because he is a duplicate of "Brud", the village shyster. Brud figures this out pretty quickly, and takes on the role of Stanley, meeting Bunny, who had been sent there to seduce Stan. Bunny cradles his rock, but Brud leaves for Lexx anyway, taking all her money. He attempts to seduce Xev using a bad rendition of Greensleeves on his portable keyboard. 790 pushes him off the command deck. Meanwhile Stan is lynched, and Kai plays the tavern pianoman, with endless variations of "Yo Way Yo". Prince sets Priest up with Bunny as his new trophy wife whom Prince knows will be less trouble than the previous first lady. Priest nukes Newfoundland.
44	7	"Walpurgis Night"	Colin Bucksey	Tom de Ville w/ Paul Donovan	August 24, 2001 (2001-08-24)
Kai needs to go to Transylvania to explore his curiosity. In the tavern, they bump into bats, superstitious villagers, Van Helsing, and 3 goth girls. They are invited to the castle for the Walpurgis feast, which is hosted by a British actor playing Dracul. Stan has "dead thing pie". Kai is trapped in a spiked coffin by Grenfield, the owner. The goth girls do various things to Xev and Stan, and then stamp on Dracul's plastic teeth. Stan incites a riot back at the tavern. The castle is stormed, and Dracul is killed (ex contract). The goths wake Vlad with a sample of protoblood. Lionel Jeffries appears in this episode in his final role.
45	8	"Vlad"	Christoph Schrewe	Tom de Ville w/ Paul Donovan & Lex Gigeroff	September 7, 2001 (2001-09-07)
Stan gets an urge to revisit Transylvania. As their slave, he takes the goth sisters back to Lexx, where they steal all Kai's protoblood for Vlad. 790 removes the parablood from Stan, and Kai goes back to Earth to face the divine executioner. Their fight ends up back on Lexx, where Vlad bites Xev and Stan. However, Xev is not affected by parablood and successfully pushes Vlad into the cryo unit.
46	9	"Fluff Daddy"	Chris Bould	Jeffrey Hirschfield w/ Paul Donovan	September 14, 2001 (2001-09-14)
Prince lures the crew down to Earth. Bunny is told to have sex with Stan. On Bunny's porn video, Stan notices Lyekka (Loo Loo), and tries to get close to her by being the new fluffer. Prince shows Xev the mortal Kai, who is an actor who really suffers for his art, injecting staples into his feet and sleeping on the stage. He wants celibacy until his show has run (2 – 6 months). Xev eats him anyway, in a fit of cluster lizard hormones. Stan uses Prince and the ATF to access Lyekka. Using her movie "Oval Orifice" as a way to steal the key from Stanley, both Loo Loo and her director go to the Lexx, and releases Vlad. Stan is arrested for theft, and sent to a loony bin.
47	10	"Magic Baby"	Colin Bucksey	Paul Donovan w/ Lex Gigeroff	September 28, 2001 (2001-09-28)
After escaping from the clutches of the asylum, the crew meet Uther, who gives them a lift to the space shuttle. Back on Lexx, Uther works his magic on Xev, only to be interrupted by Vlad coming out of the cryo unit. Uther is converted to a slave, and Xev is executed. Vlad proceeds to suck the life out of Kai, and then Stan gets up the courage to kill Vlad using the druid's staff. Stan then patches up Xev's body the best he can.
48	11	"A Midsummer's Nightmare"	Carl Harvey	Jon Spira & Andrew Selzer w/ Paul Donovan	October 24, 2001 (2001-10-24)
Loosely based upon A Midsummer Night's Dream. Stan and Kai take Xev's beautiful corpse down to the feast of Morgath because Uther vaguely promised that the dead could be risen. There, Oberon recognises the Red Fool, and The Dark man, and dominates the proceedings; attempting to marry Xev for 1500 years. Kai is turned into a joyful singing tree. Xev refuses Oberon, so he turns to Stan, who also refuses him after he realises that Oberon wants 1500 years of back door sex. Titania saves them by tricking Oberon into marrying her/him for eternity.
49	12	"Bad Carrot"	Colin Bucksey	Jeffrey Hirschfield	October 31, 2001 (2001-10-31)
The carrot probes invade US supermarkets, and leading scientists analyse how the carrots penetrate their hosts. The Whitehouse is overcome, so Prince, Priest, and Bunny flee to the Lexx, accidentally taking a carrot with them. 790 sides with the carrot to eliminate everyone but Kai. Prince teaches him Chess, and offers a wager. Kai demonstrates his increasing cynicism about 790 and works out what is going on.
50	13	"769"	Colin Bucksey	Paul Donovan & Lex Gigeroff	February 8, 2002 (2002-02-08)
On Lexx, Xev and Stan threaten to kill Prince, but they can't do it, and Kai runs out of protoblood. 790 has the agenda of obtaining a body, so he helps Prince and Priest strangle half the moth breeders to get the key to the Lexx. Back on Earth he is attached to the body of a moth breeder, and he selects a penis from one of America's finest. Bunny is given orders to kill the crew of the Lexx, but she can't do it. Prince returns to Lexx, and almost kills Stan and Xev. Bunny loses the key to the Lexx by having sex with Priest. Prince is killed for the first time.
51	14	"Prime Ridge"	Christoph Schrewe	Jeffrey Hirschfield	February 15, 2002 (2002-02-15)
The crew buy a house in Prime Ridge, using money from ATMs that 790 rigs for them. Xev's cooking is atrocious, Kai doesn't like his new fridge, and after a day they get bored of TV. Xev gets a job at CJD Meat Products as a counsellor (as a way to get sex), where she meets Cleesby. Stan reckons he's got a chance to get it on with the realtor, and her daughter Picolina gets in on the action. Kai starts running out of protoblood, gives druggies all the money, and starts acting as high as they are. Everyone is a gun wielding psycho, and the episode ends in a massive shootout; S.W.A.T ruins the lawn, bullet holes line the walls, Cleesby and Picolina decide sex is better than shooting each other, and the druggies take off in the moth, leaving the gang no option but to use the neighbor's car for a getaway. Features Britt Ekland as the realtor, "Dulcibella Sternflanks".
52	15	"Mort"	Christoph Schrewe	Jeffrey Hirschfield w/ Paul Donovan	February 22, 2002 (2002-02-22)
Derived from Bride of Re-animator. Fleeing from the authorities, with exhausted Kai in a shopping trolly, Xev and Stan shelter in a funeral parlour run by Mort. Mort is assembling his "unofficial" girlfriend, Deedee, from spare parts. He rejects Xev's breasts only on blood type, and becomes fascinated by Kai's protoblood, which Kai readily donates. Xev and Stan show their supreme insensitivity whilst escorting mourners to coffins. On Lexx, 790 will not cooperate because Kai cannot speak. Meanwhile Xev fends off deputy Festus with promises of sex, but she gives him re-animated Deedee instead. Deedee then kills Mort in the name of His Divine Shadow.
53	16	"Moss"	Stephen Manuel	Lex Gigeroff & Paul Donovan	March 1, 2002 (2002-03-01)
On the run Xev, Stan and Kai are abducted by Moss (in a reincarnation from season 2), head of the AFR. Using information from them, he masquerades as Prince, and installs himself as the head of the ATF. Moss has numerous conspiracy theories involving "666", which are totally insane, but largely correct. He then puts the crew on a show trial for being in league with Prince, where he plays all legal roles, then decides to execute them. Prince (residing in his TV set) directs Bunny to read a note to the Idaho AFR, who then ride a moth to the ATF, and shoot all the AFR.
54	17	"Dutch Treat"	Carl Harvey	Jeffrey Hirschfield	March 8, 2002 (2002-03-08)
Lexx is convulsing with starvation, and the crew decide to abandon him, leaving 790 behind as punishment for his latest treachery. They plan to hitch a ride with the Earth ship Noah, that 790 designed. Tina discovers that Ernst Longbore has his own secret plans about who is going onto his ship, and is sniffing the histocompatibily of schoolgirls. Prince re-boards the Lexx. Priest and Bunny shoot nearly every moth breeder to get the key, and then command Lexx to destroy Earth. Lexx only has enough charge to destroy Ottawa, so he eats Holland instead. Xev releases the key from Bunny – the lesbian way -- but Stanley captures it in transit.
55	18	"The Game"	Paul Donovan	Paul Donovan	March 15, 2002 (2002-03-15)
A grippingly executed chess game derived from The Seventh Seal. With the experience of a partially played chess game against Prince in "Bad Carrot", Kai plays for his soul, against the lives of Stan and Xev. He is confident of winning and enters the game willingly, much to Stan and Xev's objection. He plays a game of deception, and bets he can make Prince overconfident. The chess characters are all from Lexx episodes. The icy landscape scenery changes with the mood. Kai wins, but gains nothing.
56	19	"Haley's Comet"	Stephen Manuel	Paul Donovan	March 22, 2002 (2002-03-22)
Out near the orbit of Jupiter, the crew encounter a Russian space pod full of students, whose only agenda is to get onto the Lexx and commandeer it. Except Haley. Haley, with the trust fund, has been conned and used by the rest of them, and thinks she is on a mission against "the corporations". One of the girls has the hots for Kai, so 790 sees his chance to eliminate everybody by manipulating Haley. He guides her to a Black Pack weapon, and drives her into a killing spree – because it feels good.
57	20	"Apocalexx Now"	Paul Donovan	Lexx Gigeroff w/ Paul Donovan	March 29, 2002 (2002-03-29)
A faint resemblance to Apocalypse Now. Stan wakes the crew to decide whether to destroy the carrot mothership, but is halted by a Lyekka-lookalike. Smitten, and suddenly amenable, Stan agrees that maybe Lyekka can lunch on some of Earth, but only if she negotiates which part, with the "ruler of Earth". President Priest and Pope Giggerota are in Vietnam, being idiotic. The Pope captures Stan and Priest and plays gasoline golf with them. After lookalike-Lyekka eats the Pope, Priest suggests that she eat Japan. As a parting gesture, Priest nukes Vietnam.
58	21	"Viva Lexx Vegas"	Chris Bould	Lex Gigeroff, Jon Spira, Andy Selzer & Frank McGinn	April 5, 2002 (2002-04-05)
The crew have to kill a day before the next shuttle flight, so Bunny suggests Las Vegas. Stan is determined to keep a low profile, but sends for two prostitutes – who don't do anything for him. He sends Kai and Xev outside. The Egyptian themed hotel just happens to be storing the mummy of a philosopher poet called Drago, that Kai dispatched ages ago. The mummy goes on a killing spree. We learn that Kai has also killed "the pedantic, and the pseudo intellectual."
59	22	"Trip"	Stephen Manuel	Jeffrey Hirschfield	April 12, 2002 (2002-04-12)
Each planet the crew encounters on their search for a new home appears to be stripped of life. They conclude that it was "Lyekka", but Stan is still convinced that Lyekka has changed her ways. "Lyekka" gives the crew a going away present, which appears to be yummy fruitballs, but ends up being a paranoid psychotic adventure, egged on by 790. The cryo control is wrecked and Kai mentions that he only has "days, a few weeks at best" of protoblood left.
60	23	"Lyekka vs Japan"	Christoph Schrewe & Paul Donovan	Jeffrey Hirschfield	April 19, 2002 (2002-04-19)
Kai and Xev land near where a "Lyekka" asteroid hit near the coast of Japan, and meet the monks of a Buddhist monastery. There, Xev learns of "inner pieces"; her organs nearly harvested by the "Master". A Godzilla-sized Lyekka comes out of the sea and starts devastating Tokyo. Kai slays her, and Lexx blasts the walking asteroid that emerges afterwards. The last few minutes of the episode are prematurely feel-good, as Stan decides to head away from Earth forever.
61	24	"Yo Way Yo"	Paul Donovan	Paul Donovan	April 26, 2002 (2002-04-26)
Dr Longbore selects his crew of schoolgirls to go onto Noah with him. But just before he boards, Priest and Bunny take his ride, and he is fried during blastoff. Out of spite, Longbore has left a Higgs boson accelerator to destroy everything. The aliens start tearing into Earth using moon-sized tentacled asteroids. Kai starts towing the accelerator to use it against the aliens, but after Xev, Stan and he leave Earth, 790 destroys it using senile Lexx. Prince grants Kai his mortality, as he tows the accelerator into the main alien asteroid, and collapses it. Kai crashes into the core in almost a shot for shot duplicate of the first time he died and laughs from the irony as the accelerator's Higgs Boson value is determined as 131313... and explodes. Prince appears on the Noah, rejoicing, with Priest kissing his hand in submission. Lexx disintegrates due to extreme old age, and spawns a baby Lexx. Stan and Xev enter the new Lexx, and Stan becomes the new captain. Stan dubs the new Lexx as "Little Lexx", and orders him to find them all a new home. Little Lexx sucks up a floating 790, as they fly away into the unknown galaxy.
