Possessed by remnants of His Shadow, Kai convinces Stanley to return to the ruins of Cluster in the Light universe to search for more protoblood.

The Lexx is forced to land on a mysterious planet to seek help when Stanley collapses. Unfortunately, the place has a strange effect on the dead, as Kai goes off on his own reciting poetry, while the corpses buried nearby arise at night to devour the living.
