Plot summary
On D'Qar, Black Squadron celebrated their successful mission. Dameron reminded L'ulo not to provoke war with the First Order before the Resistance is ready, Wexley and Kun talked about their romantic feelings, and Muva and Pava talked about the new boosters on Pava's starfighter. Also, Dameron and BB-8 discussed who might have placed the tracker on Dameron's X-wing.

The Crèche revealed that Lor San Tekka had spoken with Grakkus the Hutt, so Black Squadron traveled to the prison Megalox, where Grakkus was held. They met with Warden Luta, who revealed that Megalox does not have walls or guards. The prisoners were kept in by the extreme gravity outside of the prison, and allowed to govern themselves.

While traveling down, the staff advised Black Squadron to stay alert and how to reach Grakkus' headquarters. However, someone else had paid them more to allow the pilots to enter the prison by themselves. To drive the prisoners away from the door, they put on masks and Pava threw smoke bombs. Firing their blasters, they made their way to Grakkus' open gates, where Grakkus greets them. Dameron entered the building alone with Grakkus, where Terex already is. Both men wanted to know the information about Tekka, so Grakkus offered a competition. Whoever can break him out of Megalox wins the information.
