Kayla returns with her wrap, which looks too sheer to be warm. Quantum lets her in and says, "Your surgeons did a nice job." Kayla stops in her tracks. "All the Tandarans I met had a very distinctive feature, right here," Quantum points to the bridge of his nose. "Tandarans? I don't understand," Kayla hedges. Quantum whips out his e-pad and explains the bio-scan he did on her. "They may be able to change your face, but not your DNA," Quantum tells her. He asks if Colonel Grat sent her. Kayla doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. Quantum supposes it's possible she doesn't know who he's talking about, but she asked him the exact same questions Grat asked him. "Except he was a little more aggressive. On the other hand, he didn't try to win my sympathy with fictitious tragedies," Quantum bites out. Kayla tells him he's "all wrong," and tries to leave. Quantum grabs her arm and demands to know who sent her there. Kayla lays her hand over his and then pokes him with her middle fingernail. Blood appears on Quantum's hand. I so wanted her to say, "If I medicine you, you'll know you've been medicined," like Presuming Ed. But since the writers have no sense of humor, she just says, "I'm sorry," as Quantum staggers away. We get Quantum-Vision in full force. He looks at a fuzzy and reeling Kayla, who tells him he's been very kind to her. Quantum drops to his knees and falls to his face. Kayla tells him she's going to check out now, because she can't let him interfere. She leaves. Quantum lies on the floor next to his e-pad. He's a trained actor reduced to the status of a bum!
Alaine's. The camera pans up on two shadows on the dance floor to reveal Trip and Reed in their Tick Underoos. Those panties are so tight, you could bounce a quarter off them. Ew! Ew! Ew! Reed whispers to Trip, "Whatever was in that bottle you broke got all over me. Stinks to high heaven!" "It's not like I had a choice, we needed something to cut through those ropes!" Trip grits through his teeth. They get a lot of looks and snickers as they walk through the club. It's not like they're dressed any more oddly than anyone else in that joint. They pause briefly at the steps but then square their shoulders and leave, trailing various smells behind them like clouds of glory.
Room. Sunlight filters through a window, and Hoshi wakes up next to a sleeping Ravcula. She rolls over, evidently nekkid, and kisses him. He wakes up and asks if she slept well. "Very," Hoshi says. Ravcula asks her if she has any ideas what she would like to do that day, as Risa has so much to offer. Hoshi admits that she could spend the whole day right there, but the shuttle will be coming for her in a few hours. "Not a very long vacation," Ravcula tells her. "Two days and two nights -- that's all we had," Hoshi says, lacing her fingers with his. Man, that ain't nothin' but ten-cent lovin'! Ravcula says, "I hope that you don't think I --" "Took advantage of me? Not for a minute," Hoshi smiles, and they embrace. Wouldn't it be funny if Hoshi's forehead had reverse indentations from all the kiwi she got last night? I think so.
