Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. At the start of this episode we are introduced to Simon Tam as a youngster. Which well-known actor made his television debut in the role of young Simon?

Answer: Zac Efron

Zac Efron made his debut in a brief appearance as Simon Tam as a young man in a flashback scene. He would go on to fame in the High School Musical series.
The flashback scene shows the interaction between Simon and River when they were children, and illustrates the pressure that the young man had from his well to do, expectant father.
2. What unusual cargo does the crew Serenity deliver to Badger's customers on the border planet Jiangyin?

Answer: Cattle

During the previous episode "Shindig", Mal makes a deal with a rancher to deliver a load of cattle to the border planet. As so often happens in the series the deal goes wrong and a gunfight ensues.
3. As the cargo was so difficult to transport, Wash makes a suggestion on what they should transport in the future. What does he say they should trade in?

Answer: Blackmarket Beagles

The cattle was so bulky and messy that Serenity's cargo hold is covered in cow droppings. Zoe suggests that in future they trade in something smaller, on which Wash suggests black market Beagles.
Mal also comments that the mess would be much less, after he steps in a cowpat.
4. While some of the crew makes the trade, the others go into town. Kaylee spots a painted plate that she would like to buy for Simon as a gift. When Simon sees the plate he appreciates the artwork.

Answer: False

Simon enters the store and picks up the plate that Kaylee wanted to buy, asking if they actually charged money for it. He unwittingly proceeds to further insult Kaylee and Serenity, leaving her hurt and heartbroken.
5. Mal is about to conclude the cattle deal when the local law arrives and a gunfight ensues. Which of Serenity's crew is seriously wounded during the battle?

Answer: Shepherd Book

During the vicious gunbattle Mal manages to get the payment pouch that the ranchers dropped. When the smoke clears they find Shepherd Book lying on the ground with a chest wound.
What they don't know yet is that the doctor has been kidnapped by the Hill Folk, so Mal orders the crew to take the Shepherd to the ship for treatment. Wash rushes to town in search of the doctor but returns empty-handed.
6. With no doctor on board, the crew desperately look for medical facilities. Who suggests that they go to the Alliance Cruiser?

Answer: Inara

The Alliance cruiser is the only medical facility within range, after they determine that Greenleaf is more than ten hours away. There is heavy objection against Inara's suggestion, but at the end there are no other options if the Shepherd is to survive.
7. What is the name of the Alliance cruiser that Serenity visits to get the required medical attention?

Answer: Magellan

The Serenity crew arrives at the Magellan expecting trouble, but are surprised when, after initially refusing their request, the Magellan's captain orders urgent care when Book's ID card is scanned. This leads to many questions by Mal and the crew about Shepherd Book's past, which he sidesteps.
8. Meanwhile, Simon and River are stuck on Jiangyin. As Simon tries to help the sick hill people River disappears again, only to arrive with food for Simon. What does she bring?

Answer: Hodge berries

The hill people kidnapped Simon as they needed a doctor. He soon becomes aware that they are quite superstitious, but continues with his job until River mentions that a mute girl talked to her, causing the village teacher to become very upset and accuse River of witchcraft.
9. What does the village teacher accuse River of when she mentions that the mute girl told her about the murder of her mother?

Answer: Witchcraft

Simon desperately tries to explain to the teacher that River is not a witch, but they are dragged to the village square and the village leader decides she is to be burned at the stake for witchcraft. Simon gets on the pyre with her in an act of suicidal devotion.
10. What does Mal say to Simon when he asks why Serenity came back to rescue them?

Answer: "You're on my crew. Why are we still talking about this?"

Mal shows some heart in this exchange, and effectively tell the doctor that he and River are now part of the Serenity family. Of course it doesn't hurt that he is an exceptional doctor and his skills were severely missed when Shepherd Book was shot.
