"The day Eliot Creasy orders a fruit juice will be the day I run the hundred metres in the Jupiter Games!" - Pegleg Johnson
On the bridge, Eliot picks up a bottle of Moonshine. Petra calls Rosie to Comcen.
In the Dome, Fiona quotes poetry, which Anna wrongly attributes. Timmy says that this isn't going to be easy.
Cats and Mercedes arrive in the club, making sure that Alex, who has been following them around Space City, is not there. Cats admits that he is terrified of giving a lecture to the students in the morning.
In the morning, Timmy asks Cats if it is true that people call him a living legend. Entering the common room, Sara tells Fiona that Cats' real name is Kenneth.
In Medicom, Rosie tells Eliot that he will be remembered, not for his achievements, but for destroying Finbow's career. He tells her it's Finbow or him, and that he may be offered early retirement. If he gets the chop, Eliot tells her that he will take Finbow with him.
Cats gives his lecture to the students, but is constantly heckled by Alex. Mercedes tells him to go away. Timmy asks Cats if he has ever battled to death a Space Ninja...
Eliot tells Rosie that she is too good for Cats. He tells her that he will stick up for Finbow.
Cats ends his lecture and the students thank him. In the lobby, Rosie tells Alex that he is wanted in the Commissioner's office. He invites a reluctant Mercedes to have a drink with him in Space City. He tells her that he just wants to talk.
Eliot and Cats arrive at the Stardust Cafe. Eliot is greeted by Pegleg Johnson who offers to buy them a drink. Eliot orders a fruit juice. Cats introduces himself to a female customer, whilst Eliot tells Pegleg, who has bought him Moonshine, that he really did want a fruit juice. Pegleg asks him if the rumours are true that he was bounced off his own bridge by a bunch of schoolgirls. Eliot takes a long drink.
European Conmmissioner Gerrard de Grecy tells Alex that he is no longer on parole and has been credited with salary since he saved the girls from the module. The Commissioner thanks Alex, as his own daughter, Chantal, was on the ship. He wonders where Eliot is, as he is ten minutes late. Alex reveals that Eliot came down on the shuttle with him.
In the cafe, Eliot is drinking with Pegleg, who tells him to keep in with the Commissioner. Reminded of his appointment, Eliot rushes out.
Anna argues with Timmy, and Sara tells then that the Inter-Galactic Quiz is supposed to be fun. She tells Fiona that making Anna nervous is not going to help.
Chantal joins her father in his office. Eliot still has not shown up. As they leave for lunch, Eliot arrives, claiming that his shuttle was delayed. Chantal leaves while the Commissioner offers Eliot a drink. Eliot tells the Commissioner that he doesn't drink.
Anna says she will back out of the team when they tell her that the questions are biased in favour of english subjects, and that she has not been scoring consistently high.
Commissioner de Grecy tells Eliot that the Board of Inquiry will determine what happened during the mutiny. The circumstances, the state of the ship, and the people involved. Eliot says that he was willing to forgive and forget if Finbow was not allowed on his bridge again, but he will defend himself against lies and innuendo.
A weeping Anna tells Rosie that she has been thrown off the quiz team.
Over dinner, Alex tells a suprised Mercedes he is off parole and the dinner cost him two weeks wages. He gives his word that he will never tell anybody what they did. He reveals that he cares for her very much, and wants her to stay with him.
Rosie tells Sara and Fiona that she is suprised that they could be so cruel to Anna, but nothing suprises her about Timmy anymore.
Alex tells Mercedes that Mars is where fortunes are being made, but he doesn't want to go on his own. She asks him if he is in love with her, but tells him that the only thing that will make him happy is to go on Daedalus 10, and nothing will stop her. She has been asked to go to Valhalla for a three day course, starting tonight. She kisses him on the cheek, and leaves.
Eliot enters Comcen and tells Rosie that everything will come out at the Board of Inquiry. Finbow is for the chop, and he is the laughing stock of Jupiter System. He pours a long drink.
In the Dome, Fiona quotes poetry. Anna wrongly attributes it. Timmy looks round in despair.
