Today I watched the sixth episode of the Firefly series, like every episode of Firefly, this episode was about a job Jayne, Mal and Zoe were successful in defeating the bandits who where trying to steal their cargo. Due to a job well done, it was decided to have a party. After this Serenity is off for the next job. Eventually Mal discovers a young woman who tells him that she is his wife, Saffron. Mal does not believe it but Shepherd Book goes on and informs Mal that he participated in the local marriage rituals of dancing and accepting her gifts not knowingly he was getting married. Later on in the episode, Saffron is exposed as a danger to the ship. First she seduces Mal and knocks him out by kissing him with a narcotic lipstick. Then she tries to seduce Wash but fails to so she results to kicking him in the head, knocking Wash out cold. Saffron reprograms the ship to reach a certain destination; she then proceeds to one of the shuttles to escape but ends up being confronted by Inara. In order to get onto a shuttle Saffron seduces Inara as well but that fails when the alarm goes off. Inara later finds Mal unconscious on the floor and decides to kiss him and also falls to the ground due to the narcotic lipstick. At the end of this episode Mal does not think Inara just got dizzy when she saw him on the ground, that she was kissed but from Saffron.
This episode reveals some feelings between Mal and Inara. At the end of this episode Inara thinks that Mal knows about her kissing him because they were both knocked out because of the narcotic lipstick. Mal believes Inara’s claims are just foolish that she just feel Inara saw him on the ground so he came to the conclusion that Inara fell for Saffron’s seduction not her actually kissing him when she thought he was dead. This act alone shows that there are some feelings that at least Inara has for Mal. I predict that later on in the series that this will be observed more.
