Ep 16. The Web (1)

The episode named "The Web (1)" is the sixteenth episode of the second season of the science fiction television series Lexx. The episode follows the story of the crew of the Lexx, a living spaceship, as they become trapped inside a web-like structure called the Web. The Web is an intelligent organism that captures people who enter it, using their life force as food.

The episode starts with Stanley Tweedle, the captain of the Lexx, receiving a distress signal from a nearby planet. The distress signal is from a girl named May, who claims to be trapped inside the Web. Stanley, eager to help, decides to take the Lexx inside the Web to rescue May. Once inside, Stanley, Kai, 790, and Xev become trapped too.

As the Lexx becomes entangled in the Web's grasp, Stanley realizes that the Web feeds off the life force of its captives. The crew is forced to use their own life force to keep the Lexx operational, but their energy is limited and dwindling quickly.

Meanwhile, May reveals herself to be an agent of the Web, sent to lure the crew into its grasp. Her plan is to use the Lexx as a living battery, draining its energy until it dies and the crew becomes food for the Web.

Kai, the undead assassin, is the only crew member who is not affected by the Web's life-draining abilities. He decides to venture out into the Web to try and find a way out. As he explores, he encounters a strange creature called the Woz, who has the ability to travel through the Web without being harmed. Kai follows the Woz, hoping that he can lead him to a way out of the Web.

The episode ends with the crew desperately trying to find a way to escape the Web before their energy runs out. They realize that they need to find a way to kill the Web before it kills them. Kai returns with the Woz, who reveals that there is a way to kill the Web, but they will need a powerful weapon to do it.
