Like many episodes in the series, it explores the corrupt nature of authority. Jet’s transition from a dedicated lawman to a cynical bounty hunter is fully justified by Fad's betrayal, which shattered Jet’s faith in the system.
The story begins when a prison transport ship, carrying inmates from the ISSP (Inter Solar System Police), is taken over by the prisoners. Among the escapees is Udai Taxim, a former syndicate assassin and the man responsible for Jet losing his arm years ago.
The title refers to Jet’s nickname in the ISSP—the "Black Dog" who never lets go once he bites. This episode highlights his stubbornness and his inability to truly leave his past behind until he has "closed the case."
Jet’s former partner on the force, Fad, contacts him to help intercept the ship before it reaches neutral territory. Despite warnings from Spike, Jet decides to settle his past once and for all. He boards the ship alone, leading to a tense, rain-slicked showdown that reveals a shocking betrayal: Udai wasn't the one who shot Jet—it was Fad, who had been on the syndicate’s payroll all along.
