[edit] Synopsis

A strange energy orb absorbs Crichton, then shortly afterwards spews out three Crichtons--a present day Crichton; a Crichton from the past with primitive human traits such as lots of hair, great strength, and only rudimentary language skills; and a future Crichton that is more intelligent than the normal Crichton, with a bald, enlarged cranium and a disturbing amorality. The orb explains it needs one of the three Crichtons to be a genetic sample, and if one does not return to the orb, it will destroy Moya.

Future-Crichton seeks to get rid of Normal-Crichton, but is foiled. At first Normal-Crichton is going to give the orb Past-Crichton, but Chiana says that hairy-Crichton embodies all of the traits she likes about John, and helps him to hide. Normal-Crichton finds Past-Crichton, but then sets him free and decides to surrender himself to the orb, as he cannot defeat Future-Crichton and it would be wrong to kill Past-Crichton. However, at the last moment, Past-Crichton attacks and knocks out or kills Future-Crichton and then carries the two of them into the orb together.

[edit] Production Notes

Ben Browder used different voices for Present-Crichton and Future-Crichton, and has said he modeled Future-Crichton's voice on that of Bill Clinton, as he felt the two were similar.
Past-Crichton wears John's past clothing, his IASA flight suit. Future Crichton wears a PK uniform--John's future?
