The crew reluctantly decides to destroy their base, as they must assume Zukan has given up its location to the Federation. They must also now find a new figurehead to lead their resistance struggle against the Federation, now that their earlier plans for a figurehead have failed. Avon tells the team that thinks he knows where he thinks Blake has been hiding, and they should seek him out as their new rebel leader. The crew is dismayed that Avon has kept the information of Blake’s possible location a secret from them but agrees to seek him out.

It seems Blake is working as a bounty hunter on a once lawless planet now transitioning to a law biding society. However, Scorpio is shot down by the planet’s planetary defenses. Everyone but Tarrant is able to teleport off the ship before it crashes, leaving Tarrant barely alive and the crew scattered across the surface.

Now they find Blake is chasing them all down for the bounty on their heads. But does Blake really have a secret agenda behind his current professional persona as a bounty hunter?
