Returning to Tatooine, Jabba the Hutt is exhausted from the strains of his trip. While he returns to his throne room, Bib Fortuna completes his organizing for an coup attempt against Jabba. As he prepares to carry out his plan though, he discovers Jabba visiting with an old friend, Gru'um Ropple. Fearing that his plan will fail, Bib plants a blaster on Gru'um, causing him and his lady friend to be thrown in prison. While Bib's confederates are moving on Jabba, Gru'um puts his own plan into effect by sending Freckers to kill Jabba. Coming across the assassination attempt, Bib panics because he doesn't want to lose all the information stored in Jabba's head and so sets his team to rescuing Jabba instead. With the assasination averted, Jabba proclaims Bib a true friend and Gru'um goes to the Sarlacc.
