A group of restless and none-too-intelligent teens comes aboard the Lexx, and 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 uncharacterist delight in violence. Finally, after all the kids are dead, Stan manages to reprogram Kai to his usual, sedate self.
The Golleans, a family of cannibal rednecks, has stowed away in the Lexx. After a night of passion with Sissy Gollean, Stanley Tweedle is caught by the jealous Pa Gollean, who plans to kill Stan until Sissy convinces him to let them get married instead. Pa agrees, and then forces Stan to steer the ship to Vermal so Pa can get revenge on the remaining inhabitants.
The crew travel to a space brothel, Luvliner. Negotiations break down when Schlemmi finds out the Lexx crew has no money, but are allowed in free of charge.
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. Kai asks their leader, Brother Randor, how they procreate without women, but Brother Randor claims ignorance of such matters. Meanwhile, Xev is stirring up trouble by making sexual overtures to various monks.
Two planets, Liber and Leester, long ago destroyed each other in a ratings war. The crew discover a small, automated planetoid that is still producing TV programs. Stan is captured on the planet and forced to take part in various shows, and when he consistently fails he is demoted to increasingly less dignified positions. Eventually, it is discovered that when contestants fail, they are decapitated and their heads are kept alive to be part of the studio audience for all eternity.
Stan needs release and returns to an old haunt for pleasure. Unknown to him and the crew, The Heretic Worlds have been searching for Stanley, to put him on trial for the destruction of 100 Heretic Worlds. A chief prosecutor comes about, but has her own secret intentions for wanting to execute Stanley.
After awakening Kai incorrectly, Kai punctures Stanley's heart. Seeking assistance they arrive at MedStat, a large medical space hospital. The staff are more then willing to help. But their true plan becomes clear, as they wish to take The Lexx and seek fortune.
Kai leads the crew back to the light zone to retrieve an insect larva from the remains of the cluster. The crew then goes to meet Mantrid, the former Supreme Biovizier for The Divine Order, convince him to extract protoblood from the insect larva. Mantrid plans to use the insect's transference organ to transfer himself into a new machine body. Mantrid's assistant transfers Mantrid's essence from his dying body to the machine body. The crew return to Lexx and destroy it, but Mantrid's machine escapes.
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.
Stan is having bad dreams and Xev tells him to do something "mighty" to feel better. Stan accidentally blows up a robot-manned Magnesium plant, after the robot administrator tells him of the Narco-Lounger, that allows people to enter and control their dreams. Fruitcake, a past customer of the Narco-Lounger tells the owner of Narco-World about Patches in the Sky, which are Mantrid's Drones destroying the whole universe. Stan and crew arrive and Stan uses the machine to enter his dreams. There he dreams of being chased by the now dead robot administrator and Giggerota. Xev must enter to save him, while Kai struggles to save them both.
