Taking place about six months after the [[The Movie]], the ''Serenity'' crew is strapped for cash and takes on the ridiculous job of hunting down an alien. Meanwhile, after the events of ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/2006 CS the Runaway Bride/Recap|The Runaway Bride]]'', the Doctor decides to go someplace completely new, and finds himself having to convince Mal to take him on as a passenger. So long as their ship has enough room for a blue storage shed..

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Partway through the story, the Doctor needs to wash his coat, so he empties his (very very large) pockets. Among the many things he excavates from them are {{spoiler|the last of the Christmas ornament explosives from [[Doctor Who/Recap/2006 CS the Runaway Bride/Recap|The Runaway Bride]]. These get used in the escape from Renier Enterprises.}}

* [[Hidden in Plain Sight]]: The ''Serenity'' crew tends to forget that a giant blue box from the [[Earth-That-Was]] is sitting around in storage. [[Human Alien|The Doctor himself]] also counts, as they are supposed to be looking for an alien, but they keep getting sidetracked.

* [[Voice of the Resistance]]: Mal is recruited to be this. {{spoiler|He turns them down}}.
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: A literal one. The [[Big Bad]] uses a device similar to what the TARDIS has to keep up the [[Masquerade]] at his hideout.
