Episode Summary[]
After being run aground on a "desert-island-planet" with her crew, Rita comes up with a plan to help her crew and family. She uses the parts of the bot that cause their crash to build the Model RITAS!, three robots with distinct powers that need humans to pilot them. She plans to use them to steal the book from Morpheus Maximum-Security Data, a "high security server farm in the Outer Rim, like a prison for bad programs that need studyin’."
When she asks Peter Ransom, who is still struggling with his broken leg, to help her, Juno appears and is eager to join them, despite Rita's initial reluctance to let Mista Steel anywhere near her tech.
They use headsets to connect with their robots, which Rita sent to Morpheus Maximum-Security Data the night before, only to find out that Dark Matters agents are already there and taking over the facility.

Quotes[]
JUNO:: The Book?! Rita, you figured it out? RITA:: Um... maybe? NUREYEV:: Maybe! Where’s your confidence gone, Rita? What you described to me sounds like an excellent plan for a heist — all opportunity and no danger to ourselves. We’d be fools
not to try it.
