More summarizing!

Joe decides to go back to Milliways. Hey, look, you're Bound.

Hey, look, it's Meg. Talking to Meg can be disorienting, especially if you're accused of being her father. Joe learns about ballet with demonstration. Joe likes it and Meg invites him to her show in twenty years.

Next up on ladies' night, Elaine. Joe has worked for cattle barons, which makes him sort of a knight. Elaine and Joe both appreciate cold beer. Joe explains what a bounty hunter is again.

Spike joins the party and monopolizes the conversation for a while because Joe-mun is making dumplings. Minds are boggled by time travel. After Elaine leaves,, Spike and Joe decide to get in some target practice.

Spike and Joe bond by shooting shit. Joe is pretty damn fast. They talk about their pasts. Joe is stoic and fairly selfish but a good citizen.

Joe and Yrael chat again, about being made fun of and being Bound and playing poker. Their conversation is hampered by a language barrier.

Joe meets Stephanie briefly, because the mun has a crisis. He does manage to stare at her pants.

Shipwreck comes in, and the Milliways roughneck club holds another meeting. Joe is stoically angsty. Shipwreck reveals Top Secret info and there's an awkward moment, because Joe hates the government. It's smoothed over with alcohol.

Day Two! Joe meets Aziraphael and does NOT discover he is an angel but does discover he is British and a book seller. Joe doesn't hold it against him though. Joe is preoccupied with being Bound and expresses his paranoia by referring to his canon some more. Aziraphael has a book of poetry with him but again, Joe doesn't hold it against him. In fact it is the ultimate plot bunny T.S. Eliot's the Waste Land, and Aziraphael gives it to him. Then Crowley arrives.

Later, Joe hits Happy Hour There is a certain amount of flirtation with Kibeth, although not much, because Joe-mun isn't any good at it. Joe is still not a cowboy but he still loves whiskey. He tries to get more information about the bar. He also makes Kibeth self-conscious about the dress and she changes it. He apologizes and she changes it back. He buys her a drink. The topic of Yrael comes up and she changes into a dog. Joe becomes slightly drunk and paranoid and starts babbling about clean water looking like moonshine. Then he offends Kibeth by use the s-word and the conversation kind of dies.

Even later, Joe meets Stephanie again. He drinks water, she drinks Coke, forcing the mun to do research. Joe tries Coke and french fries and drops that he's from 1869. Stephanie's powers of denial are strong. Stephanie is a bounty hunter, too. Stephanie and Joe manage to talk past each other about wars and detective agencies.

Joe tries to convince her Milliways is real. This doesn't go well. Joe calls it a night.

Yergh.
