The crew of the Outlaw Star travels back to Blue Heaven and Swanzo agrees to paint and outfit the ship with a registration ID in order to pay a past debt to Hilda. Aisha, now broke and homeless, shows up and demands the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline, which Gene is unable to provide. After Aisha persistently tries to fight them, the crew takes her out to dinner, seemingly out of pity, but Gene ends up shooting her and leaving her with the restaurant bill.
