* SpaceIsCold: Downplayed. The planet Poe and Kaz land on is really cold, but not fatally so. How realistic is this? Well, a significant fraction of Earth's warmth comes from the dissipating heat of the Earth coalescing or from radioactive decay of elements in the Earth, so it's not unreasonable that a significantly large object would be cold, but not immediately fatal, even without a star to help warm it.

Arriving at the coordinates, Poe detects something off with his fighter's scanners immediately: they're in what appears to be a star system, ''without'' a star. The sun that used to be in this system has simply vanished. And that's not the only creepy thing here, as Kaz notices that several of the system's planets have been cored out, reduced to rubble. They eventually come across another planet, this one with a perfect hole bored through the middle, and Poe and Kaz decide to fly into it. Kaz suspects that the First Order is responsible for the devastation in the system, but neither pilot can begin to guess the how or why. Partway down the bore, Poe notices some of the floating rubble acting oddly, and immediately tells Kaz to turn around, but it's too late: they're caught in a gravity well. He tells Kaz to just go with the flow to get through this, although Kaz is initially reluctant to do so. Eventually, the two ships make it through the well and out the other side, where they spot an intact moon. Poe, detecting a signal coming from the moon, decides to land and investigate, especially since the moon has a breathable atmosphere.

The signal is coming from in the vicinity of a destroyed village. Kaz, disembarking from the ''Fireball'', shivers, and Poe gives him a blaster with a reminder not to shoot himself in the foot with it, but Kaz remarks that it's so cold he probably wouldn't notice. As BB-8 accompanies the pilots into the ruins, Poe tells CB-23 to stay with the ships in case they need to leave quickly. Unbeknownst to any of them, a probe droid spies on them from within the ruins. The central point of the village is a large temple, which Poe describes as a relic of an older time. Noting blaster marks and other evident damage, Poe concludes that a massacre took place here, and Kaz finds a child's toy under a fallen pillar and retrieves it. At this point, Poe realizes they're likely being watched, and has to tell Kaz to focus a few times as he's distracted by the toy. When they confront the probe droid, it releases several smaller droids, and as Poe deals with them, he orders BB-8 to make sure the mother doesn't escape. BB-8 tags it with one of his cables, and hangs on to a pillar with another, before Kaz manages to shoot the probe droid, nearly hitting BB in the process. Poe is relieved that his droid is okay, but the destruction of the probe droids brings a squadron of [=TIEs=], led by Major Vonreg.

Kaz and Poe escape in their ships and, outnumbered, Poe decides to lead the [=TIEs=] into the bore of the cored-out planet. In the dangerous gravity well, Kaz and Poe manage to destroy the regular fighters, and Poe goes back to deal with Vonreg, shooting down his two escorts. This causes the red-armoured pilot to retreat from the gravity well, but Poe doesn't see it and returns to Kaz, thinking Vonreg is dead. On the other side of the planet, Poe tells Kaz it's time to swap out their droids, because he has to leave for Jakku. Kaz says goodbye to BB-8, thanking him for his help, before he and Poe position their fighters for a droid-swap. As BB-8 and CB-23 pop out of the droid sockets and swap ships, they wave goodbye to each other. Kaz asks Poe how he's going to sneak onto the Colossus alone, and Poe reassures him that CB-23 will tell him how to do it. As Poe leaves, he remarks that he's going to have quite the report to give General Organa.

Back on the Colossus, it's evening, and Tam, Neeku and Bucket are working on a ship in the repair shop. Bucket is offended by Tam referring to the ship as a "bucket", and Tam tries to explain herself before expressing her frustration that Kaz is ''never'' around when there's work to be done. She's startled when Kaz, behind her, speaks, and turns to see him and CB-23. Tam, unhappy that Kaz has been allowed to take the ''Fireball'' out again, is not particularly mollified when Kaz explains that it's parked below. And on top of everything else, what's the deal with the new droid? Kaz claims that BB-8 got damaged, so he dropped him off on Takodana for repairs and got CB-23 as a temporary replacement. Neeku buys it, saying he's going to miss him, but Tam is suspicious. Kaz quickly excuses himself by saying he promised to show CB-23 around, as she nods. Outside, Kaz remarks that, based on what he saw that day, the First Order can do worse than he ever imagined.

Yeager, coming inside after watching TIE fighters fly by the Colossus, finds Kaz trying to build a transmitter to contact Poe. He points out it's not going to work due to the communications blackout the First Order has instituted, but Kaz activates the device and tries anyway.

anyway. And it seems to have worked when Poe responds... except that he's actually in the room, having slipped in without being noticed. Kaz doesn't immediately notice, but he and BB-8 are happy to see Poe, and curious about how he got onto the Colossus without being caught. Poe explains that he's there to pick up BB-8, as they're going on a mission to Jakku tomorrow. In response to Kaz's concern, Poe says that CB-23 will be replacing BB-8, but they have to get back to Poe's X-wing first, and getting off the Colossus is going to be harder than getting on it was. Kaz has some intel to show Poe, however. In Yeager's office, Kaz and BB-8 show the holomap with the First Order fleets and explain their suspicions about what the Order wants with the Colossus. And there's one more thing: a system Kaz learned about that the First Order seems to have been active in recently. Poe decides that he's got time before he's supposed to be on Jakku for a small investigation, and invites Kaz along. Yeager groans about Poe's "Widowmaker" maneuver, which confuses Kaz as he has no idea what it is and isn't married anyway.

The ''Fireball'', with Kaz flying, BB-8 in the droid socket and Poe, wearing a breathing mask, hanging on to the outside, is lowered through the floor of the hangar as a freighter passes by below. Poe tells Kaz to land on the ship and stay there until the larger ship is out of range of the First Order's scanners. After having done so, as the freighter passes under a flight of TIE fighters, Poe wishes that the ''Fireball'' had a less conspicuous paint job, and Kaz points out that it's a racer. Once the freighter is far enough away, the ''Fireball'' detaches, but the engines decide to act up again, causing the ship to plummet until the engines reignite not far above the surface of the ocean, to Kaz and Poe's relief. They rendezvous with CB-23 in the clouds, and Poe boards his fighter. Kaz is worried about the ''Fireball''[='s=] condition, but he and Poe head off.



* BadLiar: Tam is not particularly convinced by Kaz's claim that he took BB-8 to Takodana to get repaired, which is why he now has CB-23.
