Ep. 13

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Gren explains that he served beside Vicious during the war on Titan and once regarded him as a trusted comrade. Vicious later framed him, leading to imprisonment and medical experiments that altered Gren's body. Now acting as the Bloody-Eye seller, Gren intends to force a confrontation and learn why he was betrayed. He restrains Faye after she turns her weapon on him, but Jet eventually locates and frees her. Spike awakens from Lin's shot, realizing it was a tranquilizer, and returns to the deal. Vicious double-crosses Gren; Lin dies protecting him, and a chase erupts between their small spacecraft. Gren has hidden an explosive inside the drug shipment, but the blast fails to kill Vicious. Mortally wounded, Gren tells Spike what little he knows about Julia and asks to be taken back to Titan rather than die on Callisto. Spike carries out the request, sending Gren toward the world tied to his happiest and most painful memories. Back aboard the Bebop, Spike and Jet end their quarrel without a formal apology. Faye, meanwhile, absorbs another lesson about how fiercely the past can shape people who pretend they have already escaped it.
