Episode 18 - Speak Like a Child

When Faye arrives back from the race tracks, she finds that a package has been delivered for her with no return address. Rather than pay it, she leaves. Spike opens the package and finds a strange black package in it with tape (Beta cassette). He realizes that it's an antique and he and Jet decide to sell it.

They find a dealer who is impressed that they have a Beta tape, which is rare to have. He looks at the content, which is a video of Faye. However, the player starts to eat the tape and Spike kicks it. Rather than getting it to work, he breaks the player.

The dealer demands another player, so Spike and Jet fly to Earth, where Ed has managed to locate another player. They break into an elevator shaft and start to descend, but the old elevator breaks off and almost hits them. Deciding that the elevator is too risky, they break into an old vent and make their way down. Many injuries later, they find an old electronics store with another beta cassette player. Unsure of what to take, they take the two largest things and head back to the Bebop.

Ed tells them that they got a VHS player, not a Beta player, so they will not be able to view the tape. However, another package is delivered for them, this one being a beta player. They put the tape in and watch. They see Faye as a small child, making a videotape as a message to herself in ten years.
