[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The Outlaw Star reaches Heifong and they attempt to enter the 13th Heifong Space Race, as Gene has decided to enter to help advertise their business in addition to confirm if the MacDougall brothers are competing. At first a 150,000 wong fee stymies them until Fred Luo agrees to be their sponsor. Fred's sponsorship comes with a caveat; Gene must wear a skimpy outfit on the winners block if he finishes in the money (top three). At a race related dinner party, Gene and Jim encounter Aisha working as a cocktail waitress. She plans on attacking them but is held back by her boss. She commandeers a Ctarl-Ctarl entrant, and she, the Outlaw Star, the MacDougall brothers, and others start the race. As the Outlaw Star takes off, a mysterious race official named Gwen Khan seems to reconize the Outlaw Star as the XGP. Gene makes a risky decision to make up time and the ship is threatened by a space wave.
