The LEXX crew visit a planet where an all-male group of monks live a tranquil life. However, their way of life is about to be disrupted by Xev and her accelerated libido.
There are some interesting ideas here. Organically-grown humans, people who've never heard of women, who were not a part of the planet's concept and the theory that sexual competition takes away harmony from life. The story is well constructed so that little things are being discovered throughout, until eventually Kai finds out everything happening behind the scenes.
On top of this, Xev also gets her chance to enjoy some sex, and in an entertaining scene entices three back to her room to pleasure her simultaneously. Now that's what I call accelerated.
The only thing that doesn't come across quite right is the story about Brother Traygor, who falls for Stan. Up to now, LEXX has had no problems with sexuality, but the scene in which the Brother comes to Stan in the night seems to mark homosexuality down as unnatural. Admittedly, Stan nips off to try it anyway in the end, but the scripting could have been better here.
