i love that! it would make sense for ford to want to hang out by the coast to try and tell all the marine life that the disturbance really isn't a big deal, it's just the humans firing off a rocket, but, then, oops, explosion, and he's trying to escort all the fish to safety when he notices something very strange going on and tries to get close enough to help, maybe even sending waves to try to stop her from being scorched. but, alas, not enough, and, later, he could be a regular customer at her bar? maybe they have a decent rapport, friendly-ish, but ford's trying to figure out if she's the same person and how exactly to bring up the whole 'so, hey, did i see you getting abducted by aliens forty years ago?' thing.
