One of the Jixen Warriors who was supposed to have been destroyed when K-9's predecessor self-destructed is revealed to have survived and learned (pretty poorly though) English. He reveals to Starkey that they were the good guys and were winning the war against the Merons until the Korven supplied them with energy weapons. K-9 was working for the Korven while four of the Jixen planned to visit Earth and warn them of the brain-sucking parasites coming to bring about the end of days just as they had to the Jixen home-world. They hired Ahab to take out The Zanthus Pia because he was a petty obstacle, chasing K-9, their nemesis, hound of the Korven through a space-time portal generated by the malfunctioning STM. K-9 blew himself up while one of the Jixen survived and tried to reason with Starkey only to be vanquished with a self-destructing force-field generator. The sole surviving Jixen learned the native tongue so he could communicate with Starkey and become friends with mankind. Meanwhile, Thorne, a Meron spy in disguise, abandoned by his partner who fled in cowardice back to the Meron home-world has stolen K-9's regeneration circuit and given K-9 a nasty computer ship that will cause him to self-destruct upon encountering the Jixen, thus preventing him from warning mankind and getting rid of any proof of the Korven's forthcoming invasion. K-9 is saved and the Jixen gets his message across to The Department while Thorne still has the circuit, K-9's elixir of life. LOMAXX may also be a cyborg.

The title of this episode solely refers to K9, the titular Hound of the Korven and the Korven make no appearance, although they are mentioned.
