From that point forward, Faye continues to show sexual interest in women with some hints that she could be attracted to more than one gender. What she does know is that she did enjoy having sex with Mel and wants to stay in touch with her.

When asked by Mel if this was her first time sleeping with a woman, Faye cannot recall if she's had any past experience with sex since she's still an amnesiac at this point in her timeline.

At first, Faye is oblivious to Mel's intentions but eventually catches on and ends up sleeping with her. When Faye makes it into the engine room to meet Mel, the latter shows sexual interest in Faye.

In the episode, Jet pays Mel to replace a part of his engine and asks Faye to keep an eye on her to make sure she does the job he's paying her for. Despite this change to their relationship, the Cowboy Bebop Netflix series still moves forward with reinterpreting Faye as a queer character.įaye's sexuality is first explored in Episode 6 of the Netflix series, 'Binary Two-Step,' where she meets Jet's female mechanic named Mel. These aspects of the Whitney and Faye relationship are still present in the live-action adaptation, though it is later confirmed in Episode 7, 'Galileo Hustle,' that their relationship was never a romantic one. Part of her remembers how much she loved him before learning she was scammed, and part of her is still angry at him for betraying her trust. When Whitney is unwittingly reunited with Faye in the anime after being captured by Jet Black for a marriage scam, she has mixed feelings about him. In the original anime, Whitney posed as a lawyer who fell in love with Faye and faked his own death so that he could dump all of his debts on her. One major difference, however, is that in the live-action series, Whitney posed as Faye's mother to steal her benefits. She was once again present when Faye was newly awakened from her cryosleep. The first time Whitney is mentioned by Faye in Episode 4, 'Callisto Soul,' her role in Faye's story is roughly the same as that of her male counterpart in the anime. The first time Faye's attraction to women is foreshadowed is when her male love interest from the anime, Whitney Haggis-Matsumoto, is reinterpreted as a woman for the live-action series.
