“Phear Phactor Phenom” is episode three of season five of Andromeda.
In the previous episode, “The Weight: Part 2”, the Andromeda Ascendant had been found, as had Beka and Trance (who had tesseracted everyone out of trouble, which explains how they survived their apparently certain deaths), although Trance is lacking many of her memories – and ends up talking to another version of herself – and the Andromeda is in bad shape.
When nanobots cause people at the bar to act strangely, and a painting to be stolen, Dylan agrees to look for it, as there is a reward being offered. This takes he, Rhade and Beka to another planet in the system, where they come across Harper. Harper isn’t terribly happy to see them – it’s been three years for him – but partly this is out of worry, for his new boss is a little odd and is trying to grow Vedrans. Harper also ‘kind of’ has Rommie with him – kind of because in “The Dissonant Interval: Part 2” she exploded. So, she isn’t exactly functional at the moment.
