In Lexx season 3 episode 11, titled "Girltown," the crew of the Lexx travel to a planet known as Vermal, where they stumble upon a society made up entirely of women. The society is known as "Girltown," and it is controlled by a small group of women called the "Queens."
As the crew explores the planet, they quickly discover that the Queens are not as benevolent as they first appeared. They rule with an iron fist, and punish any women who step out of line with brutal force. The men of the society are relegated to the outskirts, where they are treated as little more than slaves.
The crew is divided on how to proceed. Xev, who has long been accustomed to using her sexuality to get what she wants, sees an opportunity to climb the social ladder and become a Queen herself. Stanley is smitten with the idea of living in a society with no men, and considers joining the women permanently. Kai, however, is skeptical of the Queens' motives, and suspects they may be hiding something sinister.
As the crew learns more about Girltown, they begin to uncover the dark secrets that the Queens have been hiding. They soon realize that the women are not as invulnerable as they initially appeared, and that they are vulnerable to a strange, supernatural force that threatens to destroy them all.
As tensions rise, the crew must decide whether to help the women of Girltown escape the supernatural force that threatens them, or leave them to their fate. In the end, they make a decision that will have far-reaching consequences for both themselves and the society they encountered on Vermal.
"Girltown" is a thought-provoking episode that explores issues of gender, power, and control. It raises questions about the nature of societies, and what happens when those in power abuse that power. With strong performances from the cast and engaging storytelling, it is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
