Spike brings the Swordfish II to Earth for maintenance by Doohan, the stubborn mechanic who built and understands the craft better than anyone. Doohan's young assistant Miles is fascinated by baseball and eager to hear stories about Spike's ship, while Spike resists pressure to replace old equipment simply because it is outdated. In space, Jet and Faye pursue a group of pirates who disable vessels by transmitting computer viruses through physical grappling cables. Their own systems are compromised, forcing Spike to leave Earth before repairs are fully settled and join the fight. During the chase, a pirate cable infects the Swordfish, shutting down its controls and sending Spike toward a fatal reentry. He attempts to fly manually, but the damaged craft cannot recover. Doohan and Miles launch an antique NASA space shuttle that Doohan has spent years restoring and intercept Spike before impact. The rescue vindicates Doohan's belief that old machines remain valuable when people understand and care for them. The pirates are stopped, but the episode's real victory belongs to the mechanic, whose supposedly obsolete shuttle saves one of the solar system's most advanced—and most reckless—pilots.
