Dash is distraught from a blatant mistake he made during the battle that he believes cost the lives of several of their fellow pilots.  Koth tells them that the computer will need to be moved to another Bothan colony to crack the encryption.  Luke is going to join them, but believes Dash’s emotional state is too fragile to continue.  Instead he sends Dash to find Leia and give her an update on the situation.

Guri meets with Leia and informs her about the recent assistance Black Sun has given the Rebels regarding a super secret Imperial construction project.  Leia is unaware of this, but knows that any help from Black Sun usually comes with a price tag.  Still unsure, they decide to meet again in another day.

Guri reports back to Xizor and recommends killing all of them since they have information on Skywalker that could vital to his plan.  Xizor disagrees, however, and demands she bring Leia back to meet with him personally.

Before the next meeting, Chewbacca installs a scanner that will allow them a closer look at Guri the next time around.  Dash finds them and tells them of his battle mistake, but agrees to continue to help them with the plan.  When Guri arrives the scanner shows that she is definitely not human, and she decides to end the ruse and demand that Leia come with her.  The plan is foiled when Lando and the others burst in with blasters drawn.

Koth and Luke begin to uncover secrets in the computer when they come under attack by several troopers!  Koth is shot down and Luke is overwhelmed and captured by a Barabel named Skahtul.

Leia and the others discuss how they’ll get an Alliance ship to meet with Black Sun when Guri reveals she is there to provide them transportation to Prince Xizor.  They are still unsure so Leia goes to visit Spero, a former acquaintance who owes her.  He confirms Xizor’s identity and they agree to go with Guri.

After Luke is locked up, Skahtul tells him she is a bounty hunter and there are two bounties for Luke, one for him alive and one dead.  She hopes to play both sides off each other, even though she admits many bounty hunters would side with the Rebellion.

Vader and the Emperor discuss Luke’s capture and of Xizor’s plan to allow the Rebels to get information on Death Star.  Information they reveal is fake.  The Emperor wants Vader to find Luke and pretend to retrieve the stolen information.

Luke concentrates in the Force and for the first time he is able to influence the mind of someone else as he convinces the guard to come into his cell and fall asleep.  As Luke is fighting his way out, he runs into Lando who says they better get moving because an Imperial fleet is on its way to pick him up.  As they try to jump to hyperspace, but cannot as the drive is broken.  They land on a nearby asteroid to repair it.

Too late, Vader lands near the detention center and learns the Black Sun is the other bidder for Skywalker and they are the ones who want him dead.  Vader is incensed by the news and heads back to his ship.  As they close in on the Millennium Falcon, Lando fixes the drive and they jump to safety.

Leia is brought before Xizor and is overcome by his special ability to win over females with his natural aura.  Despite Chewie being unaffected, Leia giddily accepts his invitation to freshen up in his quarters.  As they move farther away from him, she asks Chewie what happened as she inspects the first class wardrobe Xizor has provided for her.  As they sit down for dinner, Xizor seduces Leia, even kissing her.  Chewie barges in and demands to see the princess.  Xizor is confident that his spell is tight over her and allows her to go with him.  She sees an unconscious guard lying on the ground and realizes that Chewie must have known something wasn’t right and she is able to snap out of Xizor’s hold on her.

The Emperor is unconvinced by Vader’s evidence against Xizor, but does agree that a Dark Side Luke Skywalker is more valuable than a living Xizor and agrees to allow Vader to personally go after Luke to protect him from other attacks.

When Leia returns to Xizor, she is able to disobey his orders and when he moves in for another kiss, she knees him in the grown.  He is pleased that she is a worthy adversary, but locks her up nonetheless.
