  Episode Summary  
It’s open season on bad-guys in the beautiful cities of Venus, and the crew of the Bebop have had a run of good luck. After he thwarts a hijacking attempt on a Venus-bound liner, Spike even gains an apprentice – would-be martial artist Roco. But Roco has stolen a priceless sample of the Grey Ash plant – the only cure for an allergic reaction to genetically-engineered Venusian flora that has left his sister completely blind. Does Spike have the heart to turn him in? Or will Roco’s former buddies get to him first…?

  Episode Quotes  
Roco: Did you see me master? I was fluid... like water....
 
Stella: Both you and Roco have something beautiful inside you.
Spike: Something beautiful huh? I'm afraid that I lost that a long time ago.
 
Spike: You're tense, I'm calm. You apply excessive force and I control that force through fluid motion. So that means relaxing the whole body so it can react instantly without resistance, you know, without thought.
 
Roco: I wonder... If I had met you earlier in my lifetime, do you think that we... would have been friends?
 
  Cultural References  
The scene where Spike teaches Rocco to fight was inspired by Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon".
 
The shuttle hijackers at the beginning of this episode, Huey, Dewy, and Louie, were shaped after Walt Disney's famous animated ducks.
