Cowboy Bebop: Asteroid Blues
In the first episode of Cowboy Bebop, the characters Jet and Spike are introduced as two broke and hungry bounty hunters living on a ship called the Bebop. Jet and Spike go to the asteroid Tijuana after the bounty of Asimov Solensen, a villain addicted to the drug Red Eye. Asimov and his girlfriend, Katerina, are on the run heading for Mars when Spike meets up with them and shows off his Bruce Lee-style fighting skills. The reoccurring background characters of Antonio, Carlos, and Jobin make their first appearance. "Asteroid Blues" bears some tributes to the film Desperado. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Wild Horses
In this episode, "Wild Horses," Spike takes his ship, the Swordfish II, to Earth to get fixed by Doohan, the ship's original owner. Jet and Faye are after some Starship Pirates, who release a computer virus with harpoons. Jet shuts down the computer systems on the Bebop and resorts to an archaic radio communication system. Spike battles the Starship Pirates, while Doohan and his assistant overhear the communications on the radio. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Ballad of Fallen Angels
One of the most visually striking episodes, "Ballad of Fallen Angels" sets a narrative standard for the episodes to come. Spike and Jet are arguing, both refusing to reveal important events of their past. Jet is apprehensive about going after the bounty of Mao Yenrai, but Spike has personal reasons. Faye goes after him herself and gets captured, calling the Bebop for help; what follows is one of the most beautifully rendered sequences in the series. This episode contains references to John Woo's action classic A Better Tomorrow. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Jamming with Edward
This episode, "Jamming With Edward," is the first appearance of Radical Edward, the 13-year-old girl genius computer hacker, whose trademark is a smiley face. An artificial intelligence satellite carves cave drawings on the surface of Earth, and a huge bounty is placed on the mysterious culprit, believed to be Radical Edward. Thinking hackers are boring, Spike stays on the Bebop while Faye and Jet go to Earth searching for clues. Edward makes contact with the Bebop, and Faye makes a promise to her in exchange for information about the bounty head. Spike gets involved and the crew embarks on the dangerous task of downloading a copy of the A.I. satellite. Due to Faye's promise, Ed officially joins the Bebop crew. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Jupiter Jazz, Part II
In part two of the two-part episode "Jupiter Jazz," Gren tells Faye about what happened to him during and after the war, and she unsuccessfully tries to apprehend him. Spike is still searching for Julia, leading him straight into the conflict between Vicious and Gren. Jet finally finds Faye and takes her back to the Bebop. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Jupiter Jazz, Part I
Part one of the two-part episode "Jupiter Jazz" starts with Faye apparently cleaning out the safe and taking off for a moon of Jupiter. She hangs out at a bar and meets a saxophonist named Gren. Meanwhile, Ed searches the web for her and one name keeps coming up: Julia. When Spike hears that, he takes off, after having an argument with Jet. Faye goes home with Gren and finds out he isn't what he appears to be. In his search for Julia, Spike ends up in some gun play with Vicious and his own former comrade, Lin. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Ganymede Elegy
The crew is heading to Ganymede, a fishing planet and Jet's home, to cash in on the bounty of thief Baker Panchorero. Jet talks to the authorities on Ganymede and Faye realizes he used to be a cop for ISSP. Jet goes into a bar to visit his ex-girlfriend, Alisa, and find out why she left him eight years ago. Alisa's shady boyfriend, Rhint, gets a bounty on his head and Jet chases after them in his ship, the Hammerhead. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Stray Dog Strut
The title being a take on the tune by the Stray Cats, the episode "Stray Dog Strut" marks the first appearance of the data dog Ein and his joining of the Bebop crew. Jet and Spike are after the bounty of thief Abdul Hakim. Hakim is chasing after the valuable data dog while illegal research scientists try to get it back. One of the more lighthearted and funny episodes, it makes some references to Bruce Lee's Game of Death. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Bohemian Rhapsody
Titled after the song by Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody" begins with Jet, Spike, and Faye each capturing a bounty. Each bounty hunter has the same clue to the main criminal of toll gate theft. Jet does some detective work and figures out that the mastermind is former Gate insider Chessmaster Hex. One of the funnier episodes, the crew searches a wayward scrap yard filled with stoned vagrants while Ed obsessively plays a chess game with the Chessmaster. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: The Real Folk Blues, Part 1
In the first part of the final two episodes of the Cowboy Bebop series, "The Real Folk Blues, Part 1," Vicious, the dangerous loner from Spike's past, tries to take over the Red Dragon crime syndicate, but is caught by the elders. Soon, Spike and Jet are shot at by syndicate gangsters, but Shin helps them escape. Meanwhile, Faye accidentally meets Julia, who relays a message for Spike just before Red Dragon fighter planes attack the Bebop. This episode reveals many of the dangerous secrets that have haunted Spike about his past connection to Vicious and Julia. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Brain Scratch
While flipping through channels on TV, Spike, Ed, and Jet see the missing Faye on an advertisement for Scratch, a religious cult that believes the soul should reside out of the body. It seems Faye has enlisted herself in hopes of capturing the huge bounty on leader Dr. Londes. Spike goes after her, while Ed hacks into the Scratch website and Jet purchases a Brain Dream. After finding the site's location in a hospice, Jet and Ed sneak in to find out who the real Dr. Londes is. The Scratch cult is seemingly based on the real-life Heaven's Gate religious cult. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Boogie Woogie Feng-Shui
Jet gets a mysterious email from his old friend, Pao, a feng-shui master. This leads him to Pao's gravestone, where he meets Meifa, Pao's daughter, who has developed her father's skill with feng-shui. Meifa and Jet team up against the Blue Snake Mobsters and search for the sun stone, which may give them some answers. Like other Jet-centered episodes, "Boogie Woogie Feng-Shui" is influenced by the detective genre and features voice-over narration. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Mushroom Samba
One of the funnier episodes, "Mushroom Samba" features the antics of Ed, followed by her companion, the data dog Ein. Out of food as usual, the crew is stranded in a desert which bears a landscape straight out of an old Western movie. Searching for food, Ed and Ein encounter the bounty villain Domino and manage to get Spike, Jet, and Faye to hallucinate on magic mushrooms. This episode features characters influenced by blaxploitation films like Shaft and Coffy, as well as the spaghetti Western Django. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: My Funny Valentine
Named after the Rodgers and Hart evergreen "My Funny Valentine," made into the hard bop classic by Miles Davis, this sentimental episode focuses on Faye Valentine's search for her elusive past. Largely told in flashback, Faye tells her life story -- or what she remembers of it -- to the data dog, Ein. Having been revived from cryogenic sleep, Faye had no memories of her past coupled with a massive hospital debt. As she tells the story of her involvement with her lawyer, she is faced with a current bounty head who is a womanizing con man. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Waltz for Venus
"Waltz for Venus" opens with Spike and Faye teaming up to successfully earn a bounty against some airplane hijackers. Faye gambles away her winnings at the casino, while Spike gets harassed by a kid named Roco, who wants to learn his technique. Spike reluctantly offers him some bits of wisdom in keeping with his Bruce Lee-style fighting skills. When some gangsters show up, Roco takes off and Spike unwittingly gets stuck with a mysterious healing plant called gray ash. Spike meets Roco's sister, Stella, who has been blinded from the spores that fall on Venus. Jet discovers that Roco has a bounty on his head, along with the gangsters who are after the gray ash. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: The Real Folk Blues, Part 2
The story line for the final episode of the Cowboy Bebop series, "The Real Folk Blues, Part 2," offers a poignant realization that all things come to an end. Just as Spike has united with Julia after three years, Vicious takes over the Red Dragon crime syndicate. Spike and Julia run to Annie's store to rescue her, only to be attacked by syndicate gangsters. One of the saddest, most beautiful entries in the series, the episode ends with Spike finally confronting his past to the tune of the Beatles' "Carry That Weight." See you space cowboy... ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Hard Luck Woman
Titled after the Kiss ballad, "Hard Luck Woman" opens with Faye watching a video, looking for clues about her past. Faye drags Ed along with her to Earth, in search of some locations from the video. Instead, the girls run into Ed's old caretaker, Sister Clara, and Faye has a run-in of her own. Meanwhile, Jet and Spike are after the bounty of Appledehli, who is attempting to make a map of the ever-changing Earth while it is consistently pummeled with meteors. Drawing to the close of the series, this episode contains some dramatic turning points as well as an ending scene reference to the Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Cowboy Funk
In this episode, "Cowboy Funk," the crew is in search of the bounty for a terrorist called the Teddy Bomber, a serial bomber with a stuffed animal shtick. Just as he is about to blow up another building, Spike arrives and beats him up with his signature style. Suddenly, a self-styled outlaw named Cowboy Andy appears and messes everything up for Spike. On the Bebop, Jet and Faye don't believe the story, and Spike develops a growing animosity for Andy. Ed discovers his true identity as Andy Von de Oniyate, a bored rich kid who is heir to a ranch estate and indulges in his longing to be a bounty hunter with silly gimmicks. In a continued effort to find the Teddy Bomber, the Bebop crew goes to a masquerade party, only to meet up with Cowboy Andy once again. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Pierrot La Fou
Titled after the Jean-Luc Godard film, "Pierrot Le Fou" is one of the more visually striking episodes. Spike is badly injured from a killing machine named Pierrot Le Fou. Jet's ISSP friend Bob lets the Bebop crew in on some of Pierrot's past, and Spike gets an invitation to a "party." In a fantastical theme park called Spaceland, Spike battles the bizarre villain. This episode features an homage to Pink Floyd's "On the Run" from Dark Side of the Moon, as well as various influences from Batman. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Speak Like a Child
Titled after a Herbie Hancock album, "Speak Like a Child" opens with Jet beginning a story which is actually a Japanese folktale. A package arrives for Faye and she takes off, thinking it is from one of her enemies. Out of curiosity, Jet and Spike open it to discover a video in the obsolete Beta format. They then travel all the way to a crumbling Earth in order to view the tape, only to return with a VCR in the incompatible VHS format. Another package in the mail arrives and the crew gets a fleeting glimpse into Faye's mysterious past. This episode features references to Beverly Hills 90210. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Sympathy for the Devil
Titled after the Rolling Stones' tune of the same name, "Sympathy for the Devil" is one of the darker episodes, opening with a series of flashbacks from Spike's past. While going after the bounty of a criminal known as Giraffe, Jet and Spike go to a club where a little kid, Wen, is playing blues harmonica. Giraffe goes after Zebra, Wen's companion, and is thrown out of the window of a high-rise building. Spike catches Giraffe, who gives him a gem and a message. Spike holds on to the gem, tries to figure out the message, and battles Wen. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Gateway Shuffle
While after a different bounty, Jet and Spike capture Twinkle Maria Murdock, the leader of the Space Warriors, an eco-terrorist group planning to release a virus on Ganymede. Meanwhile, Faye runs out of gas in Jupiter's orbit and retrieves a mysterious vial from a dying ISSP cop. This episode features the first battle team up between Spike and Faye, and a daring escape sequence through the hyperspace gate. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Black Dog Serenade
A particularly stylish episode, "Black Dog Serenade" focuses on Jet's past and the truth about his lost arm. Fad, his former partner in the Inter Solar System Police (ISSP), wants to get back together to capture a renegade prison ship. Jet believes that Udai, the main criminal on the prison ship, is responsible for his arm, so he agrees to go along. This episode is an homage to film noir gangster films. The title refers to Jet's nickname in the ISSP ("black dog") and possibly to the blues tune recorded by the mysterious Blind Blake, "Black Dog Blues." ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Toys in the Attic
With no bounty to hunt this time, Spike, Jet, Ed, and Faye are stuck on the ship with nothing to do. Gambling and trying to cook with a blow torch occupy them until a mysterious creature seems to wreck havoc on the ship. The monster bites each member of the crew leaving a purple mark and making them get sick. Ed is missing and even Ein gets bitten, leaving Spike to deal with the ominous presence alone. A particularly funny episode, this one makes references to Alien and 2001: A Space Odyssey. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Heavy Metal Queen
While looking for the bounty of a criminal named Decker, Faye and Spike stake out some locations. Spike encounters a tough-talking truck driver named VT, who travels with her faithful cat, Zeros. Nicknamed "the Heavy Metal Queen," she has a deeply felt resentment toward bounty hunters, but Spike manages to charm her. Faye and Spike both gets their ships wrecked, causing a nagging Jet to have to fix them. With VT's help, Faye and Spike chase Decker into the Linus Mines, an unstable asteroid area. With failing weapons systems on both ships, and Decker hauling a shipload of explosives, VT, Faye, and Spike have to make a daring escape. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Cowboy Bebop: Honky Tonk Women
Named after the Rolling Stones tune, "Honky Tonk Women" features the first appearance of Faye Valentine. Taking a tip from a dream about Charlie Parker, Jet and Spike go to the Spiders From Mars casino. Trying to get money to pay off her debt, Faye works as a blackjack dealer in a scam with casino owner Gordon, and Spike gets involved in the transaction. After accidentally stealing a valuable casino chip, Spike and Jet capture Faye, who soon has a bounty on her head. This episode features Faye doing some crafty flying and dramatic escapes in her ship, the Red Tail. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
