[edit] Plot
Molly, still upset at Don Wei's reaction to her win, has run off to a local bar and begins drinking her sorrows away (with Milk of course) and has a run in with Groor, the driver she beat in the last race. Meanwhile, Don Wei, still upset, calls the president to tell him Earth will forfeit. The president then tells him that the Race will decide the balance of power in the galaxy and that Earth has to stay in the race. So, Don Wei goes to Molly's room to tell her she can race and finds her gone. He then asks Jordan where she is and asks him to find her. Jordan finds her in the middle of a fight with Groor. Jordan then tells Molly that Don needs her to race. Jordan then jumps in to help and is then saved by Prince Aikka. Molly then thanks the Prince and Jordan then insults him. Molly and Jordan then rush off to Start the race. Don Wei not pleased by his choice tells her she is late and to get to the race. This race is against Flint the home team Racer. The Judges then announce a provision to the race. Obstacles will be used. One catch: they only seem to affect Molly. Both Don and Molly figure this out. Molly then convinces Flint he isn't so great othewise he could beat the traps without help. Flint being arrogant falls for it and succumbs to a trap. He proves he is great by racing with his eyes closed. His ship is destroyed by the obsticles. Molly wins. During the race Don gets a phone call which seems to surprise him. After the race Jordan and Molly try to apologize for what they thought was a poor showing again. But, Don surprises them and congratulates them. Later that day, Don arrives at the hospital and finds a healed Rick who says "I'm back," and Don Wei smiles.
