Faye goes AWOL after a tough day at the races, and the last thing she wants to hear is that a package has arrived for her, cash-on-delivery. Spike and Jet let their curiosity get the better of them, and discover the package contains one of the last remaining examples of the antique video format known as “Beta.” Their quest to watch it takes them all the way to the ruins of old Earth, and leads them all back to the past that Faye herself can no longer remember.

Episode Quotes
 
Faye: (on the video tape) Good Morning me. Did you sleep well? Did you wake up feeling good? Did the light, and the wind, and the smell, and the sound, all seem like they're brand new and fresh this morning? Is each and every cell in your whole body awake and alive? Now today you are who you are today see you're still me, but you're a newer version. Myself ten years from now, its so far away its almost impossible to imagine. Am I alone or is there a wonderful person next to me? Knowing me I'm sure you're causing all kinds of trouble for lots of different people. I'm sorry, I don't mean to but it's all right that's part of life too isn't it? You're not perfect but you've got a lot to give so remember I'll always be cheering you on.

Analysis
 
Controversy

Question:

Who sent Faye the video cassette?

Answer:

That is the Big mystery of the series that doesn't have an obvious answer. Nor does it have a hint or reference to it in any other episodes. The best guess is that an old classmate sent it to her.
