The town seems to be a closely-knit kinda community. And yet no one there seems to take it amiss when Saffron, a stranger, wanders up and "proposes" to Mal. If she had stayed in town for a while to establish her credentials, how long was she there in town while waiting for a ship to come by she could set up for a hijack? edit »
Previously we were told that River escaped from the Academy. This episode Inara says that Saffron must have received companion training at "the Academy." The way everyone talks about it in capital letters, "The Academy" seems to be a single well-known place...that trains both psychics and companions? Otherwise referring to both training organizations as "The Academy" seems unnecessarily confusing. edit »

Inara: Maybe you should think twice about letting go of Saffron, you two sound like quite a match.
Mal: Maybe you're right, maybe we're soulmates.
Inara: Yes, Great, I wish you hundreds of fat children. edit »

Zoe: She can fly this thing, why just take the shuttle?
Wash: Maybe she likes shuttles.
(everyone stares)
Wash: Some people juggle geese! edit »
Book: (to Mal) My apologies! You were victimized, Wash was beaten, and Inara found you here.
Inara: And then I fell. My head got hurt like Wash.
Mal: I don't get any of this.
Inara: I only fell is all! edit »
