  • When Ed looks for Faye, Spike discovers the code name Julia coming from Callisto. He rushes off to see its origin, arriving to find people who mistake him for Vicious. As Faye finds Gren, another man from Vicious' past, Spike finds Vicious.moreless

    This is about as effective as the first in a two-part episode can be. We, as viewers, are wrapped up in Spike's past, and at this point know almost nothing about Julia. As Spike rushes to Callisto to find Vicious, we are introduced to Gren. The entire episode kind of has an airy, far out style. It sets the stage very well for the revelations that take place in Jupiter Jazz Part II, but in itself has its share of beautiful and mysterious moments. There are only a few episodes about Spike's past, and Jupiter Jazz I and II are a haunting, almost stinging installment.moreless

    • (Faye sneezes) Gren: Take care. Yeah, that was a pretty close one. If someone sneezes and no one says take care, that person will turn into a fairy. That's what they say around here, you know. Faye: Then there's no problem. I'm already a fairy don't you know that? Edit
    • (coming episode) Spike: Hey, how are men and women different? Faye: Hmm... I think women are hiding more vital secrets than men are. Spike: But there are women who aren't feminine. Faye: And men who aren't masculine. Spike: What about those that aren't usually feminine but show that side of themselves in some chance circumstances? I like that. Faye: Really? Spike: I'm not talking about you. Faye: Who then? Ed: Maybe it's me! Hahahaha! Spike: Next episode, Jupiter Jazz part 2. Jet: Maybe it's me. Edit
