The crew of the Ghost arrive at the backwater Osisis Station in need of parts to repair their starship. Hera Syndulla is convinced that the station's owner, Galus Vez, will be able to get the parts that they need. However, Vez is quick to turn down their request for parts, citing the previous Imperial attention that the Ghosts visits had brought. Vez challenges Syndulla to a race in Fool's Run, with the Ghost placed as the stakes. Fearing that Vez will turn them over to the Empire if she declines, Syndulla accepts his conditions.
As the crew leaves Vez's throne room, Sabine Wren reveals that no one has ever beaten Vez at the Fool's Run course. Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger look on as Syndulla boards the Ghost and takes her place beside Vez's ship, the Splendour. Vez begins the race with a heavy lead, but Syndulla is able to use her exceptional piloting skills to navigate a shortcut through an asteroid field. Vez activates several false decoy asteroids to block Syndulla's path, and the Ghost takes damage from the new obstacles. Jarrus and Bridger decide to take matters into their own hands, using the Force to move asteroids into Vez's path. The quick change in course takes him by surprise, and his ship is badly damaged in an asteroid impact. Now in the lead, Syndulla takes advantage of his misstep as she wins the race.
Vez returns to Osisis Station in a rage, accusing Syndulla of cheating and attacking the rest of the crew. Jarrus and Bridger use their Force abilities to stun Vez's men and end the violent confrontation. With the situation turned in the rebels' favor, Vez is forced to supply them with the repair parts needed for the Ghost. Vez attempts to delete all record of the crew's presence, but he fails to notice graffiti of the starbird symbol left by Wren.
