In this episode different sides of the characters are exposed. The main character to be exposed to his many personalities is Mal. He says he doesn't need prayer and acts like he only looks out for himself but ends up giving back to other people. He begins in the episode starting a bar fight on Unification Day with a guy who wants to toast to the Alliance. He then goes to Niska to get an assignment in which he must steal cargo from a train full of Alliance members. Him and Zoe steal the cargo but end up finding out it is medicine for the sick people on the train from Paradiso. After Mal is back on the ship and safe he tells everyone that the medicine must be returned and so will the money. The crew was warned about what would happen if the mission was not completed by the hanging man that was at Niska's when they received the mission. This was to be received as what would happen to them if the medicine was not given to Niska. Some of Niska’s crew came to retrieve the medicine but Mal will not give it to him and instead tries to give him the money. The man will not take it. Mal then proceeds to throw a man into the engine, obviously killing him. Another member of Niska’s crew gets the clue and takes the money.
It is hard what to conclude from this episode. Mal feels bad about the sick people and returns the medicine, so your thoughts are that Mal was very noble to give that back. Then he turns around and kills a guy for not taking the money. From this episode I believe that there is something from Mal’s past that makes him this way. In the next couple episodes I think the show will continue to show the past of the characters revealing their true personalities.
