Eureka is brought to the medical bay in the wake of nearly merging with the Scub Coral. Tensions between Renton and Holland continue to rise, and when Holland decides to go on a rescue mission for the Vodarac over Renton's insisting that he take Eureka to a "proper" hospital, a violent argument breaks out. When the rescue mission goes sour, though, Renton still goes out to help - after getting unjustly slapped by Talho (but is the last time he will help Holland). Renton, although while helping Holland, goes too far after not knowing about what was between Eureka and Holland.
