Spike and Jet are returning to Ganymede with Baker Ponchorareo, an 800,000 woolong bounty. While trying to gain clearance to land, Jet runs into a old friend of his, who is equally surprised to see him. Jet learns that Alisa, the woman who left him, now runs a bar called "La Fin" at Marvis.

When he finds her, he learns that she's about to close down the bar and move to another town with Rhint, her boyfriend. While Jet is catching up with Alisa, Spike learns of a 1,800,000 woolong bounty on Rhint Celonias.

Spike goes off in search of Jet to tell him about Rhint. Meanwhile, Jet asks Alisa about the watch she left years ago. She replies that she has moved on and thinks Jet should as well. As Jet is leaving, he sees Rhint, who believes that Jet is a bounty hunter who is after him. As Alisa and Rhint are leaving, Spike, who is still searching for Jet, spots them. He pursues them, but almost runs into Jet.

Episode 9 - Jamming with Edward

Someone has been carving symbols into the earth using satellite lasers. Jet and Faye decide to go after the hacker with the 8,000,000 woolong bounty who has tapped into the satellites. Faye agrees to go search for antennae that could transmit to the satellite and Jet says that he'll look into major hackers.

While they're gone, Ed hacks into the Bebop's computer and realizes that Faye and Jet are looking for a hacker on Earth. She sets up her own search and find the hacker, who speaks to her.

The voice that Ed is talking to is the satellite control program on the D-135 artificial satellite. After introducing herself (Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV), she gives the program the name MPU. MPU tells Ed that he doodled on earth because long ago, pictures like those that he drew used to be on the earth. Ed asks if she can also draw on the earth, but before MPU can answer, a jamming signal enforced by the police cuts off their communication. Ed then contacts the Bebop, explaining who the hacker is. Ed explains that, in order to stop the satellite, someone would need to go directly to the satellite and break the antennae that it uses to contact other satellites. She warns that if the Bebop is flown with computers, MPU will detect their presence and fire back at them.

Spike tries to approach MPU as Ed directs, but fails. As a result, Spike and Faye have to dodge the lasers of many satellites. Ed contacts Jet and tells him that Spike needs to get within 20 meters of the satellite - that way, the other satellites won't fire because they might hit it. Spike succeeds and transfers MPU to Ed's computer. Also as part of the deal, Ed joins the crew of the Bebop.

Episode 8 - Waltz for Venus

After capturing a bounty on a passenger flight, Spike and Faye split up the bounty. While in the airport, Spike is attacked by another passenger, who was just testing his skills. Amazed at Spike's movements, the passenger asks if Spike can teach him a little self-defense. Disturbed, Spike gets into the elevator and tries to escape. However, the passenger is very persistent and follows Spike around the airport. Spike finally gives up and teaches the young man, Roco Bonnaro, a few moves.

While practicing, Roco spots a few men who have been chasing him. He gives Spike the package and runs away, asking Spike to meet him tomorrow at an old cathedral. Spike takes the package back to the Bebop, where he learns that it's a cure for Venus-sickness. Later that day, Spike goes in search of the remains of a shuttle out in the desert, looking for Roco. However, all he finds is a blind woman.

He explains that he is looking for Roco, who happens to be her older brother. She explains that the floating plants in Venus send down spores, which sometimes affect certain people, causing blindness. She shows him a package that she received yesterday - a music box with a packet of gray-ash seeds in them. The seeds can cure Venus-sickness, if grown into plants.

That night, Spike goes to the old cathedral. Roco tells him to run, but before they can, Piccaro, the leader of the gang who is after Roco, advances with a machine gun. He demands the gray-ash, but Spike provides a distraction by firing on the group, allowing Roco to find cover. At the same time, Faye and Jet, who have been in pursuit of Piccaro, arrive and fire on the crowd. However, Roco is shot and drops the gray-ash, the atmosphere of Venus killing the plant. As he is dying, he asks Spike to make sure Stella gets the gray-ask seeds. Spike promises to do so.

Later on, he goes to visit Stella in the hospital, who is ecstatic that Roco sent her gray-ash and money for the eye operation. However, she soon realizes that Roco is dead, based on Spike's voice.
