In this rather [[Anachronic Order|Anachronically Ordered]] episode, Mal attempts to repair the ship [[In Medias Res|after]] a catastrophic engine failure. While this is happening, dueling [[Flash Back|Flashbacks]] explain [[How We Got Here]] as well as some [[Everyone Meets Everyone]] backstory.
 
Line 13 ⟶ 24:
Finally, another ship arrives. The captain is a [[Jerkass]] who brings a replacement catalyzer but decides to steal ''Serenity''. Mal takes a bullet defending his ship, but manages to force the thieves off at gunpoint. [The episode actually starts here.] Wounded, he injects himself with adrenaline in the medical bay, trudges to the engine room with the new part, plugs it in, and limps up to the bridge to call back the shuttles. He doesn't make it, but he wakes up on Simon's table anyway. As it turns out, the crew decided to come back for him, in spite of their orders.
