Character History
Hiro and Ando arrive at the Montecito Casino and hear Hope crying. She says her boyfriend has a bag she needs. Ando retrieves the bag as Hiro overhears Hope talking to someone on the phone. She says she's sick of her partner taking half of the profit when she does all the work. She says that she has conned "two Chinese guys" into helping her out. When confronted about her lies, Hope knocks out Hiro and puts him in a closet. After Ando gives her the bag, she tells him to give her a ride to her mom's house in Primm. When Ando expresses confusion about Hiro's whereabouts, Hope silences Ando by kissing him.
Hope and Ando stop at a parking lot in Primm, Nevada. When Ando asks why they're stopping, Hope tells him not to ask any questions. Hope goes to remove the suitcase from the back seat of the car and Ando offers to get it for her instead. They struggle over the bag briefly causing it to open up and spill poker chips in the car. Hope pulls a gun on Ando. When Steve Gustavson and Hiro arrive, Hope uses Ando as a human shield and points the gun at Steve. She fires a shot and breaks the rear window of Steve's car, and the two continue exchanging gunfire. After a large explosion, Hope walks up to the luggage compartment and points her gun at Ando. Hiro begins concentrating and Hope pulls the trigger. Hiro manages to stop time and then reverse it, causing the bullet to fly back into the chamber. The resulting recoil throws her off guard and buys enough time for Steve to tackle her. She and Steve are then separated and arrested by the cops.
Ando tells a coworker how he assisted a U.S. Marshall in capturing "an evil show girl".
"Thanks for the help, Sulu."
