The episode begins on a commercial flight to Venus. Spike and Faye are on board, and they stop a group of hijackers. At the spaceport, Spike runs into a man who was on the same flight, who is desperate to get a parcel delivered to 'the middle of the nowhere'. Or rather the man, called Roco, runs into Spike, attempting to surprise Spike in a sneak attack. When he fails, he pleads for training. Outside, Spike tries to teach Roco to "flow like water", loose yet flexible. He runs away when one of his associates spots him, but not before forcing the package on Spike and asking to meet the next night at an old cathedral.
This man Roco is the bounty, running from the rest of his gang members having stolen a tremendously valuable "Grey Ash" plant they had heisted, the leaves of which can be used to treat Venus Sickness, an illness unique to the planet. Opening the package and discovering its contents, Jet points out that the plant is worth many times the bounty on the man, but Spike sets out to find him anyway.
Spike arrives at a large spaceship wreck in the middle of the desert and is held at gunpoint by a young woman. After managing to defuse the situation (by mentioning that he knows Roco) they get to talking over tea. The woman is Roco's sister, Stella, and she is blind from Venus Sickness. The treatment to cure her sight would be very expensive and require seeds from the super-rare Grey Ash plant. Unknown to her, this is the plant that Roco has stolen from his own gang, intending to treat her with it. Also unknown to her is that a few seedlings of this plant are hidden in the lid of a music box that she shows Spike, a prized gift from her brother.
Spike meets Roco at the rendezvous point (the old cathedral) and returns the plant to Roco... but the gang catch up, and a shootout starts. Faye flies in and adds some fire to the firefight, killing a couple of the gang. During the chaos, the plant's vessel is smashed and it dies. Spike spots a goon sneaking up on Roco with a knife and calls out to him. Roco manages to disable the man with one fluid movement, and proudly declares this to Spike: Unfortunately, he gets fatally shot moments later. Laying there dying, Roco asks Spike to take care of his sister. The surviving gang members are captured by Faye.
Later in hospital, Stella is thrilled to be getting the treatment that will restore her sight, and says to a visiting Spike that the first thing she wants to see is her brother. Spike informs her of his death, then when asked what he was like, he reassures her that Roco was a terrific guy.
