I agree that was a funny episode. Though props to the ed mister for not being the illusive kid i though she was. What better way to test drugs than on your own friends.
Epi 17 was very funny, but episode 9 could compete well with this one ^_^ Ed is great *-* Cannot imagine a Bebop without Ed! The anime lives from its characters and those funmakers like Ed shouldn't be missed in great animes like Cowboy Bebop =)
