After losing her casino winnings, Faye discovers a sealed case aboard an abandoned ship. Meanwhile, Spike and Jet capture Twinkle Maria Murdoch, leader of the Space Warriors, an extremist environmental group that has developed “Monkey Business,” a virus capable of transforming humans into apes. Murdoch's followers threaten to release the weapon over Ganymede unless she is freed, and the government cancels her bounty to force the Bebop crew's cooperation. Once released, however, Murdoch launches the virus anyway. Spike and Faye pursue the terrorists toward a hyperspace gate and destroy two of three missiles. The remaining missile enters the gate before they can stop it, so authorities shut the entire structure down, trapping the weapon—and Murdoch's ship—inside hyperspace. Spike and Faye barely escape. Before the chase, Spike had secretly slipped a sample of the virus into Murdoch's clothing; when its container breaks, she and her sons are transformed into monkeys. With the official reward withdrawn and her own ship gone, Faye makes herself comfortable aboard the Bebop. Jet and Spike object, but her arrival effectively turns their reluctant partnership into a three-person crew.
