Overall, was a very good episode that isn’t quite on the same level as the previous one but it’s a close one. Oh yeah, Vicious and Julia continue their plans to take over the syndicate. It probably was one of the highlights and was the show at its most restrained. I’ll say that Daniella Pineda is a highlight in this episode, especially in the emotional moment in the end. By 2068, Vicious had become a strong member of the Red Dragon, along with Spike Spiegel. Much about his early life was not widely known. He attempted a coup of the syndicate and became its leader briefly before being killed by Spike Spiegel. It’s good that after the halfway mark we finally see some payoffs. Vicious (, Bishasu) was a member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate and veteran of the Titan War. Overall, a strong episode once again that continues to build up from previous storylines. We’ll see what the future has in store for our protagonist. We know little about how old this version of Faye actually is and if she even has the debt from the original. It seems that their focus is more on setting up Faye’s actual mother at the end of that episode. Yes, it was a distraction in the original but that was fun seeing Jet and Spike going out of their way to solve the mystery surrounding it. It seems convenient that their ship happens to have the player they need. Heartbreak is on the horizon at this rate, which won’t go over so easily this time around.Īs much as I enjoy this take on Whitney, I do think the episode wraps up the cassette mystery way too fast. It’s a great way to build up the point made in the previous episode when the fake Julia confronted Spieka bout lying to his long-time partner. While he does forgive her for lying about her not-mother being a con artist, it sets up a bigger betrayal later down the line. The episode does have an important set-up surrounding Jet’s emotional reaction to being betrayed. The same goes for Spike still recovering from the events of “Binary Two-Step” adding a nice layer of continuity that also lets you know that this takes place directly after the previous one. It’s a bit fast considering where they started this season, but I like that we see episodes that seemed a bit out of nowhere continue to build into the next. Jet gets some great moments, as we also build upon some character development between him and Chalmers, which was sweet to see. These two characters build a relationship throughout the episode that is a twisted take that kind of works. I like this take a tad more than the original. Right after she got out of cryo-sleep, this version of the character pretended to be her mother and conned her out of her Identikit. Early on, we find out how this gender-bent version of the character played into Faye’s origin. We finally get a pay-off from a few episodes ago on the arrival of Whitney. Can Netflix’s take on Cowboy Bebop pull off one of the calmer moments from the original series and can it continue the momentum built from the previous episode? Spike Spiegel's history with Julia, Vicious, and the Red Dragon syndicate is ultimately something that defines his character, which he is unable to escape.After taking a backseat in the last episode, Faye Valentine takes the leading role in the seventh episode “Galileo Hustle.” Yet, most of the episode does have our crew interacting (always a plus) and we get some tension between Jet and Spike, as we get a set-up for an eventual betrayal later down the line. However, Spike's history continues to haunt him, popping up in key episodes and especially Cowboy Bebop's memorable finale. It is known that they met in 2068 and quickly became one of the most feared tandems in the galaxy. What's less clear is how Spike met and teamed up with Jet Black, forming the bounty-hunting team that stars in the Cowboy Bebop TV series and movie. This event is reflected in the main series through wordless flashbacks of Spike in the rain walking away from a cemetery. Spike believed that Julia deserted him, leading to his bitterness in the main series of Cowboy Bebop. As a result, Julia ran away and went into hiding in an attempt to save Spike. Vicious told Julia that if she met with Spike, they would both be killed. ![]() Spike planned to fake his death, but Vicious discovered the plot. His love for Julia motivated Spike to try to escape the Red Dragon to live a life with her.
