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.
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.
A sinister, alien creature comes aboard 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.
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.
When 790 reluctantly reveals that Xev has a built-in expiry date that's soon up, the Lexx heads to the planet Woz where the only remaining love-slave transformation device is.
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 gets killed in the process, somehow lodging part of herself in Stan's mind..
The crew of the Lexx get a distress signal from a crashed ship. 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 wants to eat whatever survivors are 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.
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.
