Rico's Drop Suit malfunctions and he's set adrift, "marooned" in deep space. While waiting in desperation to be rescued, Rico has several flashbacks which showcase his wavering loyalties between Dizzy and Carmen. In the end, with only seconds of air left, Carmen comes to Rico's rescue. This episode fits in the overall story arc between episode 129 "Letters Home" and episode 130 "Checkmate" (the final two episodes of the Klendathu campaign).
