A quiet day aboard the Bebop becomes a claustrophobic emergency when Jet is bitten by an unknown creature near a forgotten refrigerator in a storage compartment. His condition rapidly worsens, and the ship's inadequate medical supplies offer no clear diagnosis. Faye is attacked next while bathing, followed by Ein despite the dog's early attempts to warn everyone. Spike and Ed search the darkened corridors using heat sensors, treating the outbreak like an alien infestation. Ed remains cheerfully unhelpful, while Spike reconstructs the creature's origin from the location of the first attack. A year earlier, he hid an expensive Ganymede rock lobster in the refrigerator and forgot about it. The decaying food has mutated into a mobile, venomous organism. Spike loads the refrigerator and its contents into an airlock and ejects them into space, apparently eliminating the threat, but the creature bites him before it is expelled. He collapses alongside the rest of the crew, convinced everyone may die because of his negligence. The apparent horror ends absurdly when a half-asleep Ed finds the surviving blob, mistakes it for food, and eats it without suffering any visible harm.
