(In her favor, of course.)Īs it turns out, the opera house was just the beginning. But after the terrorists get away by stealing her spaceship, she slides into a diner booth next to Spike and Jet - with blood still streaming out of her shoulder - and suggests they team up to take the terrorists down, taking the bounty as a 60-40 split. But just when Mark gets Whitney on the hook, the opera house is interrupted by ecoterrorists with a truly gnarly weapon: a gas grenade - and I truly cannot emphasize this enough - that turns people into trees.įaye’s plan is derailed by this sudden turn of events, though she does manage to chase after the terrorists when they take Mark hostage.
“A girl with no memory’s got nothing to lose,” she warns Mark, and her recklessness throughout the episode makes it clear that she means it. Mark was one-half of the grifters, and she wants him to set up a meeting with the other: Whitney Haggis Matsumoto, who conned Faye into believing she was Faye’s mother. Faye, we learn, was pulled out of cryo-sleep and subjected to a scam that left her without memories or money.

(And at the end of a year in which a few obnoxious billionaires spent obscene amounts of money to blast themselves into space, it’s a cynicism about the future of the galaxy that, frankly, feels warranted.) For a show as colorful and fun as Cowboy Bebop, that’s a pretty bleak philosophy to build upon - kind of an anti– Star Trek - but four episodes in, it’s clear that this series is best when the melancholy always feels like it’s nipping at the heels of the fast-moving plot.Īnd while we’re on the subject, hey, Faye Valentine is back! As “Callisto Soul” begins, everyone’s favorite purple-haired, acid-tongued bounty hunter is slipping into an opera house to point a gun at the dick of a man named Mark Manley. Or, to put it another way: The time and place might change, but people are always going to be as bad as they’ve always been.
Dogs are so rare and unaffordable that they can be categorized next to dragons and unicorns. Police are corrupt, organized crime is thriving, and the economy is so screwed up that freelancers like Spike and Jet can barely afford dinner at a crappy diner even after using a two-for-one coupon. The planets have been colonized by people who built crappy replicas of the same cities we had on Earth. Space is cluttered with billboards for fast food and beer. One of the best things about Cowboy Bebop is how it convincingly makes the case that humans are going to screw up the galaxy too.
