Inside her quarters and awaiting Admiral Sidiqi, she tries to rest in the dark but is interrupted by her granddaughter Kiki sending her a video about her small garden. She is delighted and responds with a video of her own, before she asks her doctor to keep her current medical state a secret and again embarks to meet Sidiqi.

On the Rocinante, Amos and Bobbie are cleaning up the cargo bay of the ship and storing away equipment. Tired of the work, Bobbie challenges Amos to a bet, the person to be wrestled to the ground first will have to continue the work on their own, and he accepts. After a brief fight, Bobbie gets a hold of Amos and tries to choke him to unconsciousness, but before she can, he activates an alarm to distract and wrestle Bobbie to the ground. Amos leaves victorious, and a laughing Bobbie laying on the floor remains in the bay.

Clarissa is left in charge of night watch on the Rocinante. Though she is eager to do her best, she finds there is little that needs to be done and ends up eating alone in the galley, where she hears on the news that her disgraced father, Jules-Pierre Mao, has died in his prison cell. In a fit of rage, Clarissa activates her implant and crushes her terminal, before blacking out. She comes to later, having trashed the entire galley. She has the Rocinante record an entry for her journal, and wonders aloud why she is so angry, as she knew she would never see her father again. She starts to cry, wishing her father had been a better man and parent, and that she hadn't left him. She then gets up and begins cleaning up the mess she has made.

After running into an old graffiti of his younger self titled "Remember the Cant", Holden remembers his first meeting with Captain McDowell in a bar on Ceres. Ten years earlier, McDowell struggles to integrate as an Earther among Belters, when he overhears Holden telling a funny story to a table full of Belter friends. Seeing his popularity despite being from Earth, and sensing he has prior experience in the navy, McDowell offers Holden a position on the Canterbury. Holden initially refuses, but is convinced when McDowell explains he will have good benefits and minimal responsibility. The Belters pour McDowell a drink, and he toasts with Holden and his friends.
