Foreshadowing, foreshadowing, foreshadowing! Spike, with a hangover, drinks a prairie oyster to cure it. V.T. tells him that the only other person she knows who drinks those things was her husband. Her husband is dead. The point? The bounty hunters who drink prairie oysters die. Okay, so it may be a stretch, but I don't think so. Everything in Bebop has a purpose.
