"Faye-Faye! Where are you? Ed wants to play with you!" Faye suddenly sits up in bed, trying to wake herself up. That voice in her drean was so real. She has to get whoever killed Ed. Faye didn't realize how important and needed Ed was until yesterday. Ed brought a certain quality to the crew, one that made even the worst situations manageable. "Faye-Faye!" She heard it clearly now. The voice wasn't from her head. It was from outside her room. She got dressed and went out to find Ed. "Ed? Where are you?" Faye calls out, trying to get Ed to talk again. "I'm right here!" Ed says, right behind her. Faye turns around and sees Ed. "ED!" she says, falling backwards from shock. Ed crawls around Faye. "What's wrong, Faye-Faye?" Ed asks. Faye hugs Ed tightly. "I thought you were dead." Ed squirms around in Faye's arms. "Ed dead! Ed dead!" she starts yelling as she runs around Faye. "SPIKE!! JET!! WAKE UP!!" Faye shouts.

Jet comes out first, yawning. "What's the yelling for, Faye?" Faye grabs Ed's hand to keep her still. "Ed's back!" Jet looks at Ed. "ED!!!" Jet exclaims. Jet runs to Spike's room and pounds on the door. "Spike! Get up! We have a visitor!!" Spike comes out a couple minutes later. "Who is it?" he asks, ticked because Jet woke him up. Jet points to Ed. "Ed's alive!" Spike looks at Ed. "Damn it, Ed. This wasn't part of the plan." Jet and Faye look at Spike. "You...........lied to us?!?" Faye asks. "It was Ed's idea. She wanted to come back, and she found me first. So we made a plan that would make sure that you two would be desperate to have her back." Faye glares at Spike. "You bastard. You had us worried that Ed was dead, and you were LYING THE WHOLE TIME!?!?" Spike just grins. "Hey, someone has to have a sense of humor around here."

Faye stands up. "I hate you for what you did, Spike." Spike stops grinning when he hears Faye say that. "Faye, I'm sorry. The idea would have worked if Ed had waited some more." Faye looks at Spike. "Let me finish. I hate you for this, but I love you even more now. You kept a promise to Ed that you would help her do this, and you brought her back." Faye walks up to Spike and kisses him. Ed just looks at Spike and Faye. "Faye-Faye? Spike? Finally together?" she says to herself. Everyone looks at Ed. "See, Spike. I told you it was obvious." Jet says.
