Inherit Rygel's Wind

Back in court, Chiana's nursing a hangover. Rygel nudges her and says he needs her awake since Zhaan's "off in some happy place." Chiana rasps that she already told him everything the cop told her and no one will notice if her head's on the table. Rygel plunks down some Nashtin cleansing pills for her to take at specific intervals.

Court is back in session, and Chiana jumps around, speed talks, and generally has a Jessie Spano caffeine pill freakout. Rygel finally groans and asks to have a word with Chiana. Chiana giggles over to her co-counsel and hops on the table. Rygel confirms that Chiana took all three cleansing pills at once, and he takes over the questioning. He gets the forensics expert to confirm that there was a dual full moon on the night of the murder and also that certain Litigarans don't go out those nights because of the painful moonburn. Apparently, this planet doesn't stock MPF-45 at their corner Lawgreens.

Back to questioning the cop, Chiana skips up to the stand and notes his purpled complexion. He admits he got it the night of the murder. Chiana notes that while he got burned, the victim -- also blue-eyed -- didn't. Chiana also brings up the fact that the cop worked as a security guard in the private sector for Ja Rule's law firm -- something she learned last night. Ja Rule looks uncomfortable as the usual muted hubbub following such a courtroom exposure ensues.

Chiana pleads with Pilot to keep Moya in orbit. However, Moya is not even listening to Pilot any more. "Moya is LEAVING!" Pilot finally frowns. Frustrated, Chiana dashes off and gets caught in a forcefield. She calls for Pilot, but Jiffy-Pop shows up instead, holding a beeping remote and looking sinister.

Chiana is now seated in Ja Rule's office. Ja Rule compliments Chiana's showing in court and adds, "It's not a lawyer's way to be long-winded, so let's get right to the point." Not a lawyer's way to be -- oh, where is that liar, liar pants on fire torch now?! Jiffy-Pop announces that Chiana and Rygel will not win their case and Zhaan will be executed. "Frell you," Chiana invites. Ja Rule explains that Chiana and Rygel will stop calling witnesses and will not continue their present line of questioning. If they do, they will also be brought up on false charges. Ja Rule goes on that Utilities don't need any more rights than they already have. "They need to work harder," Jiffy-Pop sneers. Ja Rule says Chiana needs to be concerned with her own life, not Utilities. Jiffy-Pop rips off Chiana's comm button and plunks it in a pitcher of whisky. Ja Rule says if Chiana does as he says, he'll make sure she and Rygel get back to their ship, "Trust me. I'm a lawyer."
