How can you complain about an episode that tells us a lot about most of the characters and really pushes the limits of Mal and Inara's relationship? The answer is simple, you can't. To make things even more interesting check out the setting of this episode. (Let me step back and make a different approach to this.)
So Inara gets a distress call from a former companion and friend who has an emergency situation. She has a house of unlicensed companions and they are about to be attacked by a man that is convinced that one of the woman is pregnant with his child. Mal and company agree to help the women out and all sorts of interesting stuff happens.
Here are a few major elements to the story that develop character arcs:
- Preacher doesn't judge the women for what they do, continuing the character development of him as being nonjudgmental of sinners.
- Jayne joins the party because of the sexual favors offered.
- Jayne also shows off his love affair with guns.
- We get to see deeper into the relationship between Mal and Inara when Mal sleeps with the former companion and we see that Inara is not OK with that.
Even as good as this episode is, there are better ones that happen on either side of this story. Be on the lookout for them down the road.
