This episode opens with Crichton dreaming of a woman he once loved on Earth; he is awakened when Moya mysteriously starbursts; as the crew meet up to figure out what happened it turns out Rygel and D'Argo also dreamt of old loves. It turns out Moya was drawn to a Delvian colony that wanted Zhaan to come to them. They want to persuade Zhaan to help them kill somebody for them by sharing the dangerous part of her mind with them. In order to stop the others interfering with them the Delvians start manipulating their thoughts. While they are distracted Tahleen, the Delvian high priestess persuades Zhaan to undergo something called the Unity; it doesn't go as she expected however and Zhaan could be left insane. If Zhaan is to be saved Crichton must risk his own mind.
This was another enjoyable episode where we learn more about Zhaan's people, the Delvians and their abilities to adjust others' views of reality; most notably by making Crichton believe that the woman he split up from on Earth actually married him and came with him through the worm hole! While it wasn't the funniest episode it did have its moments; when Crichton accused Aeryn of wearing his underwear was particularly funny... and she did look a lot better in them than he did! There was no action to speak of but it felt as though Zhaan and Crichton were in real danger; especially the former as she battled to maintain her sanity. The only really negative thing about the episode was the effect used to depict Unity; showing the participants heads combined like that didn't work for me... I suppose they couldn't just be seen holding each other's heads or it would look too much like a Vulcan mind meld!
