Kit (now named Norb) runs across a giant Candy House Satellite. Suddenly, its consumed by Mantrid Drones, 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 different and suddenly his body comes apart to reveal 5 Mantrid Drones. In the process, Norb/Drones kill 790. He also delivers a message "Let the contest begin" from Mantrid. 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. The Lexx must reverse its partical drive to save itself.
