What to Expect in “Reason: Moonwork”
The Story So Far
Bye Bye, Earth follows Belle Lablac, the only human in a world of anthropomorphic animals. Armed with her giant sword, Runding, she’s searching for others like her and her true purpose. Season 2 has been packed with action and heart. In Episode 8, “Hymn: Erehwon,” Belle regained her arms and Runding with a powerful chant, defeated Adonis by breaking his sword, and destroyed Rusty Nail. Mist explored a tunnel, and the Army of Insatiable Emptiness attacked. The episode ended with Belle waking up in a modern city that feels like Earth, setting the stage for Episode 9.
What’s Coming in Episode 9
In “Reason: Moonwork,” Belle will likely face the God of Schwert Land in this Earth-like world. She might ask if others like her exist, and while the answers may be unclear, she could learn there are others out there, giving her hope. The episode might show a final moment between Belle and Adonis before Schwert Land collapses. Belle could defeat the God and promise to honor her friends’ sacrifices as she starts a new chapter. This episode feels like the beginning of the season’s big ending.
