premiere air date: October 7, 2001
summary: This episode begins with the revelation that Faye has gone, seemingly
for good. Giving as the excuse that Faye cleaned out the safe, Spike and Jet have
Ed dive the net to try and find her. What Ed comes across instead is the name
"Julia." Spike bounds out like a man obsessed while Jet argues with him; they
need to find Faye, he says. Spike leaves the Bebop on bad terms with Jet; it seems
he has gone for good as well. As Spike goes to out to find Julia, Jet goes seeking
Faye. I don't want to give too much plot info away, here. Jupiter Jazz (both parts)
is one of the best episodes in the series. You can't help but feel compassion
for the characters, all hungering for companionship, and not being able to see
that what they need is right there. Mmm. It just has such a great atmosphere
to it, film noir almost. What is it about sad sax music and snow that go so well
together?
rating: A++
