This is the last episode produced. It features River. A bounty hunter finds her and boards Serenity to take her back. The episode begins with River being able to hear the thoughts of the crew and learning how unwanted she is. She finds a gun she thinks is a branch and everyone fears her insanity may make her a great danger. She feels she doesn't belong and surrenders to the bounty hunter, but not without playing some mind-games. In the end the crew invites her into the family.
River wants to belong. Don't we all? Don't we long to have that place, that serenity? It's not easy and it's messy, but families, relationships, communities are part of being human and the journey we call life. When you do find the folks who love you as you are - value them.
