John Crichton has been split into two separate individuals due to a dangerous wormhole experiment gone wrong. One version of Crichton is trapped on a dying Leviathan ship with Moya's crew, while the other, known as "Einstein," has taken on a new persona and is working with Scorpius, Crichton's longtime enemy. The two Crichtons must find a way to reunite and stop Scorpius from using wormhole technology for his own nefarious purposes.
In the second part of this two-part episode, "Icarus Abides," the two Crichtons have reunited, but their problems are far from over. Einstein has brought Scorpius and his Peacekeeper allies to Moya with the intention of using the ship's unique abilities to create a wormhole weapon. Meanwhile, the regular Crichton and the rest of Moya's crew are forced to team up with some unlikely allies in order to stop Scorpius and Einstein’s plan.
Complicating matters further, the two Crichtons are still struggling to reconcile their differences and work together effectively. Regular Crichton is horrified by the actions of his doppelganger and struggles to understand how he could have ever become so ruthless and immoral. Meanwhile, Einstein is working with Scorpius to try and convince regular Crichton that his methods are necessary to defeat their enemies.
As the battle between Moya's crew and Scorpius' forces heats up, the two Crichtons are forced to put aside their differences and work together in order to save the ship and everyone on board. They come up with a daring plan that involves using Moya as a weapon to destroy Scorpius' base, but it will require them to risk everything and sacrifice themselves in the process.
The tension builds as the clock ticks down and Moya hurtles towards Scorpius' base. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew engages in a tense and bloody battle with the Peacekeepers, struggling to hold them off as Moya becomes ever more damaged. In the end, the two Crichtons must make a desperate, life-or-death decision that will change the course of their lives forever.
