E06 - Sympathy for the Devil
With the food situation scarce (thanks to a hungry Faye), Jet and Spike are eager to nab another bounty, named Giraffe. Theres a chase, with Jet offering some distraction for Spike to pursue Giraffe to a hotel but Spike fails to save his bounty who gets shot and falls out a window. Before dying, Giraffe gives Spike a ring and urges him to not to be fooled by the way he looks. Jet learns from an old bounty hunter friend that Giraffe was friends with someone named Zebra, who supposedly had a child. Its soon discovered this child has not aged for over 30 years due to a hyperspace singularity event when an astral gate exploded and destroyed the rest of his planet. The child can never die or age unless exposed to the stone on the ring, which was formed from the same hyperspace energy. Spike fashions the stone into a bullet and finally manages to break the unaging curse with a single shot between the ageless boys eyes.
