Sterling Archer, in his comatose dreaming, imagines that he is the captain of the "M/V Seamus (934TXS)", a space salvage freighter, co-captaining with his ex-wife Lana, with whom he is co-owner of the ship.

Krieger is the android scientist/doctor on board, while Cyril is the onboard accountant as well as Lana's lover, and Ray is a gay courtesan (á la Inara Serra).

Pam is a hulking rock golem-like alien, while Cheryl/Carol is a bloodthirsty/suicidal space fighter pilot, and "Mother", or Ms. Archer, is holographic AI avatar in the form of a glowing ball of light.

After docking, a green, triangular, blob-like alien zeenamorph lifeform comes aboard their ship chased by Dri'n pirates but they manage to escape the wreck.

Malory sends the crew aboard it on a scavenger mission and they find a large number of crumbling corpses from a battle of thousands of years ago.

In desperation to save the crew, Archer throws a quantum singularity bomb at the android which sucks it into itself before reappearing elsewhere in the galaxy and creating an apocalyptic explosion.
