On page 2, Kaylee remarks on having a horse named Lucy.
The character descriptions on pages 2-3 claim that Kaylee once
escaped a burning building using a nightgown as a parachute;
Leonard has been on a gallows at least twice before; and Inara
once lock-picked her way out of a safe thrown over a waterfall.
It may be that these descriptions are merely jokes, a sort of
exaggerated braggadocio not actual
events in their life stories.
This issue introduces Alliance hunter/killer drones, used in
space.
On page 18, Zoe comments on she and Mal having first hooked up
in the Brighton Brigade during the war. This is the first
mention of that brigade.
Zoe tells Mal about her two war brothers, Hatfield and Spears,
burned alive by Hamner during the war. This was seen in
flashback in
"The Fall Guys" Part
3.
On page 19, one of the Beloved townsfolk refers to the lead
Alliance soldier in the mob showdown as "jackboot". A jackboot
is a type of military boot, popularly associated with fascist
or totalitarian troops.
