Timeframe: Between scenes in Solo.
Hondo teams up with bounty hunter droid IG-88 to capture Qi'ra, but she outsmarts both her pursuers by pitting them against each other so that she can collect the bounty on them.
Tropes:
- Continuity Nod: Hondo deciding to turn in IG-88 along with Qi'ra is a reference to when he said that his mother allegedly said that two hostages are better than one.
- Eviler than Thou: Hondo is a Laughably Evil, Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain of a Space Pirate who teams up with IG-88 for Qi'ra's capture, but Qi'ra shows them she's the baddest of the three by pitting them against each other, capturing them and gloats over how she will make quite a bounty out of them.
- Foregone Conclusion: Whatever trouble Qi'ra got Hondo into, you know he'll get himself out of it. He always does.
- Villain Episode: This episode is the first to have a female villain instead of a hero as the main character, in this case, Qi'ra.
