Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Faye diverts the Bebop to Earth after recognizing locations from the videotape made by her younger self. Ed joins her and visits the orphanage where she once stayed, receiving a photograph of the father who recently came looking for her. Faye finds an old schoolmate who recognizes her and guides her toward the site of her former home. Meanwhile, Spike and Jet chase a suspiciously large bounty on an eccentric cartographer. The target is Ed's father, Appledelhi Siniz Hesap Lütfen, and Ed herself posted the reward simply to locate him. Their reunion is affectionate but brief. He invites Ed to travel with him, then becomes distracted by a new meteor impact and leaves before hearing her answer. Faye reaches her old neighborhood only to find that the gate catastrophe reduced it to ruins. Although her memories have begun returning, the physical home she hoped to reclaim no longer exists. She marks the foundations and sleeps there alone. Back at the ship, Ed decides to leave in search of her father and a life chosen on her own terms. Ein follows her. Faye returns as they depart, and the Bebop's improvised family quietly begins to break apart.
