Rudolpho instructs the crew to pick up a murder suspect who turns out to be Luc's ex-husband, Eric. Eric has escaped from an Orchard medical facility where he was injected with an experimental antibody that has killed all previous recipients in 48 hours.

When a rival group of bounty hunters tries to steal the crew's prisoner, Percy is arrested for assaulting one of the bounty hunters, a member of the Oberon Militia. Rex, the leader of the rival group, uses Percy's arrest to blackmail Dante into freeing her brother, Goran, from the Nereid prison.
