E14 - Bohemian Rhapsody
Theres a large bounty on the head of the mastermind behind several Astral Gate robberies drawing in several bounty hunters including the Bebop Crew. After Spike, Jet, and Faye pool their information together (not making much headway capturing the crooks separately), they find the only thing their crooks had in common was receiving a chess piece each. Ed reveals the chess piece has a microchip and plays a virtual game of chess with someone who is soon discovered to be the Chessmaster Hex. Jet finds finds out the person who coordinated those robberies was a genius programmer who used to work for the Astral Gate company and got fired for pointing out defects. The Bebop Crew manage to trace him to a junkyard and theyre tailed by a bounty hunter who almost kills the Chessmaster Hex. It turned out the genius programmer had pre-programmed his revenge plan 50 years ago and went senile in his old age. He is left by the Bebop crew to enjoy his last virtual chess game with Ed.
