Blake’s crew travels to a planet renowned for its gambling and good times, in hopes of finding a Federation cyber surgeon, named Docholli. They hope Docholli, who helped erase the memories of the original Star One crew, might know its location.

However, Vila cannot resist the chance to use Orac’s abilities to win at the games on the planet.

Episode Quotes
 
Servalan: You appear to have misunderstood my message, Krantor. I am not here officially.
Krantor: Of course, I understand - perfectly. Discretion and delicacy are the very watchwords of my organisation. Just tell me your requirements and I will see that you are provided with the most sophisticated and subtle forms of satisfaction.
Servalan: You have misunderstood me.
 
Vila: You know, if it were a desert down there, so hot your eyeballs'd frizzle, poisonous snakes under every rock...
Avon: Blake would have sent us.
Vila: You can bet on it.
 
Vila: Avon, there are times when I almost get to like you!
Avon: Well, that makes it all worthwhile
Vila: I mean, you give me a warm feeling right here, round the money belt.
 
Travis: Your new muscle man, Servalan? He looks like a powder puff.
 
(Jenna and Cally are creating a distraction for Blake)
Cally: What did you call me?!
Jenna: A cheap little space tramp.
Cally: You slut.
Jenna: A ten-credit touch.
Cally: What?!
