Molly wonders if she can question bloody Bo Peep without more interruptions. She forbids Kale from going into the engine room until she comes back. Kale asks if he can go into the engine room if Molly doesn't come back. Molly says Kale can go into the room if she doesn't come back IF Wren allows him to.
Todd is in the greenhouse taking care of his fig.
The two guys are guarding Gwaidsai. They talk a bit, then talk to Langu, and stay on the ship.
Molly and Langu leave for questioning Bo Peep at the Pelican. Langu asks if Molly is going with another name. She says it's still Debbie Jenkins. Molly slips into a terrible accent and the two of them walk into the bar.
Molly talks to the woman in charge. She tells Molly that they are not hiring. Molly tells her that she's looking for a friend of hers, goes by Bo Peep. The madam asks how much she wants to pay for her. Molly offers her ten credits, which is normal whore hire. She laughs at her and tells her to go talk to the bartender.
The bartender asks who is drinking, and Molly points to Langu. He orders a tea and gets a beer. He holds it but doesn't drink it. The bartender asks if Molly were with the people earlier, she says no. He sends a boy to tell Bo Peep to come down when she's between clients.
Back on the ship, Swishang is in the engine room holding the coil and waiting instructions from Kale to put in the coil. Kale is on the other side of the engine door trying to instruct him. Sudo Kent is stopping Swishang from installing the coil. Kale convinces Wren that it's important to get this done and it will take 45 minutes to install, and Wren worries about what will happen if they don't do it and have to talk off suddenly. Wren tries to convince Sudo Kent that Molly said it was alright, but he doesn't believe her. She goes off to radio Molly, and she gets the go ahead to get Sudo Kent to install the new coil.
Meanwhile Molly waits for Bo Peep, who shows up and leads her to a room to talk. Bo Peep tells Molly that Jon Snow has been hog tied by the Flanagans for his involvement with Henry's boys and as far as she knows could be off planet by now. Molly asks if she has any evidence for his, and gets nothing in return. Bo Peep tells them to leave, Bo whispers something in Chinese to Langu on his way by but Molly doesn't understand as it's a language she doesn't know. She asks what she said and Langu says nothing to her. They leave and see people standing around the vehicle. Molly hears a quick inhale from Langu but nothing is said.
A man steps forward and introduces himself to Molly as one of the people who met with Todd earlier. She understands but doesn't imply anything about kidnapping. They keep it cordial. He says that an associate of his would be very interested in meeting with her at the Duchess' Pearls. She asks who, and he doesn't answer. They say goodbye cordially and Molly gets into the car. They leave quickly.
Back on the ship Sudo Kent is putting the coil into the ship. Wren is focused on it as well and neither of them pass their spot checks.
Molly asks Langu about the guy they just met. His name is Peote [Pyotr], and he works for the Bellevues. Langu asks who she is working for. She says Jensen Bael, who is the father in law of Jon Snow (as a recap). He asks her who Jensen works for, and Molly says Blue Sun, of course. He says he needs to make a few calls before saying anything else about the subject.
Molly asks what Bo said on their way out. He tells her that she was asking that they refrain from visiting her or her business anymore as the Suns aren't welcome in the establishment.
They get back to the ship. The door is open.
Molly freaks out. She coms Wren to find out what is going on. They talk about the door. Sudo Kent and Wren team up, and Swishang [Xuesheng] and Kale team up. We leave together to check out the rooms in the main area and make sure Todd is okay. The galley has evidence of a disturbance from a glass pushed over but no sign of Guigai or the other boys. Wren checks the bridge but nothing amiss, she's relieved. They lock it. Check in on Molly, nothing in the cargo bay. They meet up on the main floor's hallway and go up to the top floor. Check the locked rooms. Wren notices that papers are disturbed in the office. The Shaman Osiris IOU is gone. They open the cell door and find body pieces of the two boys [guards] and Gwaizai. Wren has a traumatic flash and is out. Swishang carries her as the others continue their search. They make sure that there's no one in the med bay and place Wren there. They knock her out and lock the med bay. They check to make sure that there's no one else in the ship. No evidence of any other disturbance.
Sudo Kent phones his boss to let him know what happened. He is told to tell Langu to check in with his superiors. He is also told that they are to hide the evidence of this crime and don't tell anyone; it doesn't concern them. Molly checks the bodies as they clean the room and notices that the bodies look like they have been torn apart. The fabric doesn't look cut or burned from the torture method, but Sudo Kent notices that a jawbone looks like it's been melted. Molly takes it for analysis.
Molly notices a blast shot and some fabric when she cleans up the glasses in the galley by the door. Looks like they shot at the intruders.
Molly goes in to check on Wren and finds her to be groggy. They talk about what happened and Molly coddles Wren and tells her that the guys are dead and they are a-okay now. She asks if Wren can check into the security system and maybe get it set up better, but to do so tomorrow. Wren is upset that this might mean she has to work with Kale, but she agrees. Molly suggests that she rests, and mentions a bath. Wren lights up and goes off to do that.
Sudo Kent intercepts Molly on the way to Todd's and tells her to not tell Todd that Gwaizai and the boys are dead. She agrees. She goes to Todd's room and tells him that Gwaizai is dead. She tells him exactly like she told Wren. He makes sure that they weren't after him and then feels better.
After Molly finishes with Todd she goes to check on the ash stash in the med bay. It is untouched. She does find out that the rest of Kai's ash bags, from behind her headboard in her room, are gone. Nothing else seems out of place.
Sudo Kent checks in with his superiors to tell them about the jawbone in case they are looking into the deaths. They tell him that he is not to look into it again and he clarifies that he isn't, just wanted to let them know in case they are investigating it. They tell him they aren't.
Todd goes off to make dinner. The rest of the evening passes in quiet contemplation and individual thoughts. Only Todd seems undisturbed by the events, as he is the only one in a good mood.
