A friend of mine has a maxim: "Just because you have a problem doesn't mean there is a solution." I think that pretty well sums up the dilemma faced by Nick et all in this episode. Their solution to the problem at hand wasn't perfect but, that doesn't mean that a perfect solution exists.

As Grimmaniac points out above, I thought the actor did an excellent job of portraying his character. Being based on a flatworm, the Huntha Lami Muuaji was both male and female at the same time. Not such a problem for a flatworm which doesn't have much of a personality - at least as far as we can tell - but in a entity whose core sense of self is tied so closely to its sexuality it raises perplexing questions. Definitely thought provoking.

For those who like to put a Jungian spin on things, it would seem that Stacy was a physical manifestation of Linus's anima and Linus was a physical manifestaton of Stacy's animus. Conscious self and projection of unconscious other bound together in the same vessel and exchanging roles as the primary locus of the ego. Whoa!
