Is a deep-space David and Goliath moment in the cards?!

Speaking of cards… Hiro heads to a casino to gain an edge against a band of unfamiliar space pirates. Blending into their glitzy surroundings requires his loyal crewmates to dig up bunny-girl outfits! But one of Hiro’s newly costumed companions turns out to have ties to the very space pirates pestering him. Can Hiro scrape by after being dealt such a bad hand?!
