Edward Wong picks up a signal from her father, who she hasn't seen since he left her at an orphanage years ago. She tracks him down to a deserted town and finds him working as an eccentric cartographer, completely absorbed in mapping Earth's ever-changing surface. He barely recognizes Ed, but she decides to stay with him anyway, choosing family over the Bebop. Ein follows her off the ship, loyally sticking with the one person who really understood him. Meanwhile, Faye Valentine returns to her childhood orphanage, hoping to reconnect with her past and the people from her video message. When she arrives, the place is completely abandoned—overgrown with weeds and empty.
Spike Spiegel and Jet Black return to the Bebop to find Ed and Ein gone, with only a childish drawing left behind as goodbye. Faye comes back too, devastated that the home she remembered no longer exists. The crew that was slowly becoming a family is falling apart, with everyone going their separate ways. The episode ends with Ed and Ein walking off into the sunset together while the Bebop flies away in the opposite direction, setting up the loneliness and isolation that will define the final sessions.
