Bye Bye, Earth episode 7 recap

In the previous episode, Belle and Gaff were seen crossing blades while the Weather Players summoned the Funeral rain to cleanse the Katakombe. Belle noticed Gaff was injured and learned he had fought and killed Tom Collins, a priest of the Katakombe.

Belle was shocked to hear that Adonis' father had died by the god's will. Disheartened, she left Gaff. On the way back, she encountered a fragile-looking woman who seemed unaccustomed to city life.

Belle was surprised when the woman revealed she was the one who brought the rain. She introduced herself as Sherry, the Lead Vocalist of the Weather Players, and King Rawhide's daughter.

Belle took care of Sherry and asked her to sing a song for her in return. After the song, Belle noticed Sherry looked frail. Gaff then arrived and took Sherry away.

Meanwhile, Adonis was seen telling Kir that he was a royal inspector who tests solists with broken swords, and uses Ashes of the Tried provided to him by the priests, to heal them when he sees fit.

When Gaff shattered Tiziano's sword, Adonis had restored it. But the sword turned Tiziano into a fiend.

Now, Adonis wanted to restore both Tiziano and Kir's swords and see if the wielder turns evil. The two swords were combined into a new one and it promised Kir boundless strength. Adonis was glad that it was not the sword that turned its wielder evil.

Later, Adonis confessed to Belle that he liked her and wanted to be with her. Belle, blushing, said she would think about it.

When asked if he could not grow his own sword, Adonis explained that it was due to a curse from an old nomad who died fighting invaders at the Katakombe.

His curse transferred to Tom Collins and manifested in his son. Since then Adonis lived like a nomad, searching for meaning.

Belle found a connection with him and invited him to join her on an adventure.

The next day, Sherry visited Belle, seeking an explanation for why Belle said singing was hard on her. Sherry confessed that she had been singing since childhood because she believed that no one would pay attention to her otherwise.

Belle then took Sherry to the tavern and requested a song from the troubadour. The song moved Sherry to tears, even though she tried hard to hold them back. When she learned that Belle had also cried upon hearing the troubadour sing, Sherry asked her if people still liked someone who cries, as she wanted to feel needed.

Belle assured her that she did not need to seek validation from others or act according to their expectations. Taking Belle’s advice to heart, Sherry shed some more tears.

What to expect from Bye Bye, Earth episode 8 (speculative)

The preview for Bye Bye, Earth episode 8, titled A Ball Shaking Before the Fiend Flower, shows Belle, Adonis, and their friends dressing up formally for a ball.

However, things take a dark turn as Adonis is later shown with blood on his face, and Belle is seen brandishing her sword. The title suggests that another fiend, similar to Tiziano, has emerged, possibly Kir.

It appears that Belle’s final challenge before becoming a nomad will be to confront and defeat this new fiend.
