Synopsis by Andrea LeVasseur
Titled after the Kiss ballad, "Hard Luck Woman" opens with Faye watching a video, looking for clues about her past. Faye drags Ed along with her to Earth, in search of some locations from the video. Instead, the girls run into Ed's old caretaker, Sister Clara, and Faye has a run-in of her own. Meanwhile, Jet and Spike are after the bounty of Appledehli, who is attempting to make a map of the ever-changing Earth while it is consistently pummeled with meteors. Drawing to the close of the series, this episode contains some dramatic turning points as well as an ending scene reference to the Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke.
