Trivia:

The trash bin that Jayne and Kaylee have to reprogram is powered by a Microsoft Operating System. In the scene where they begin to reprogram it, you can clearly see a Microsoft Windows 2000 desktop with multiple windows open.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Mal and Saffron are running from the authorities, they leave the Bellerophon Estates through a door which is using a Von Duprin style crash bar to exit. However, when the guards arrive to that door, it has changed color and the door hardware has transformed to a door handle/doorknob type device.

Quotes:

Monty Reynolds: Damn you, Bridget. Damn you to Hades. You broke my heart in a million pieces. You made me love you and then you... I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!

Not again. Guest star Christina Hendrixs reappears as the vixen she is.

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

The no name doxie is back to dupe are BDHs. Once again are crew is no match for her cunningness. Its not for long before are crew once again is in chaos. She is found with a new man's man Monty an old friend of Mal and Zoe. With a new alias this time Bridgette. Mal spoils her scam on Monty. Saffron bamboozles her way on Serenity. Mal being the ever fool with SaffBridge puts her on board in a box. Should have left her on that black rock. After a bad day with Saffbridge Mal is in verbal battle with Inara. The ever tactical ambassador wounds Captain Malcolm Reynolds with an arrow straight to his pride. Mal trying to elevate his prestige with Inara other than being a common petty thief to her he buys into Saffbridge's plan of the heist of the universe. Big mistake. Luckily he knows that his crew will cover him. Hmmmm. While doing the job we find out that old Saffron is married to her mark going by the name Yolanda. Yosaffbridge and Mal now with feds in tow narrowly escape with the priceless prize. YoSaffBridge now as expected double crosses Mal, luckily his crew is not caught with their pants down. No but just as stranded. Luckily Inara the player of players covers their back to save some or one of their naked butts. A fun entertaining episode with what is she up to now. A great guest star of the series.
