Synopsis
Synopsis
The crew delivers cattle to the Rim, but a shoot-out gravely injures Shepherd Derrial Book. At the same time, Simon and River Tam are kidnapped by locals while exploring town. Mal chooses to leave the Tam siblings behind to seek medical aid. The locals hope that Simon will administer medical aid, and despite the kidnapping, Simon tentatively hopes the town will be a haven for himself and River. However, the town comes to believe River is a witch and attempts to burn her at stake. Before this can be done, the crew rescues the siblings, and Mal tells Simon that he and River are part of the crew.
