Faye Valentine is a woman on the run. She is caught by a Gordon, a mobster to whom she owes money. He offers to clear her debt if she does him a favor. She agrees and is quickly put to work in a casino.
Spike and Jet visit the casino in the hopes of winning big. Jet hits the slot machines. Spike plays blackjack. The dealer at Spike's table is Faye. She is supposed to keep an eye out for someone who looks a little like Spike. When Spike sits down she becomes convinced he's the guy but then he doesn't follow the script.
Spike walks away from the table. Faye follows him. They get into an argument. Casino security gets involved. Jet has won about 200,000 credits but is unable to cash them in because Spike gets into a fight with security and they have to beat it before they get arrested.
They get back to the Bebop (their spaceship) with some help from Faye. They lock her up because they don't trust her. They discover that she has a big bounty on her head. They are ready to turn her in when Gordon comes after them. Spike inadvertently walked off with a casino chip that has a microchip inside it. The microchip is the key to a valuable piece of decryption software.
Gordon wants the chip back and offers them lots of money for it. Spike and Jet agree but Gordon reneges on the deal. Faye escapes from the Bebop. She swoops in and grabs the cash and takes off. Spike and Jet are left with nothing except the one chip.
I continue to enjoy this show but one thing that strikes me about it is the animation. It is not as crisp and clean as I remember it. The music is great, both on its own and the way it is used on the show.
