Today I continued the Firefly series and watched the third episode called “Bushwhacked”. In this episode I believe it reveals a lot about Mal’s personal morals and beliefs. Mal and his crew discovered an abandoned ship that had people killed by Reavers in it. Mal noticed that the abandoned ship possessed some valuable cargo, Mal decided to take some of the cargo and leave. Later finding out that there remained an only survivor. He then brought the only survivor to the infirmary for medical attention. Serenity was taken in by the Alliance for a government check for any evidence of illegal goods or activities in the vessel. Mal decided to put all the illegal goods in plane sight in order to avoid the Alliance to be suspicious of them carrying the two fugitives, Simon and River. This is because a Firefly-model spaceship was reported in the first episode of stealing goods from an abandoned spaceship (which was actually Serenity). In the meantime, the Alliance has been looking for two fugitives (Simon and River) that could be possibly hiding in Serenity. Instead of the captain turning in the two fugitives to the Alliance as bargaining chips so that the Serenity could escape freely, the captain decided on hiding the sibling fugitives. Simon and River were suited up and hid outside the ship from any Alliance members. The crew was later interrogated about any information about Simon and River but they lied about harboring fugitives because especially Mal knew this was a morally right thing to do.
