Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Details the final battle of the war that Malcolm Reynolds and Zoe Washburn fought in. Explains how Dr. Tam and River ended up on the ship.

Answer: Serenity

This episode, named after the spaceship and somewhat after the "Battle of Serenity Valley", was the original pilot, though in a quirk in the order the episodes aired, it was the last to run on television originally.

This episode introduced the backstory as to how each of the "passengers", Simon, River and Book ended up on the ship.
2. The crew was paid in goods and food for a job when the town they did it for couldn't afford money. Saffron was introduced.

Answer: Our Mrs. Reynolds

Saffron would be known by several names during the short run of the series. In this episode she was first portrayed as a native woman on the poor planet. She was married to Capt. Reynolds despite him having no knowledge of it.
3. Capt. Reynolds fights in a duel. Kaylee gets to wear a fancy dress.

Answer: Shindig

This was the episode where the term "Captain Tightpants", a nickname that Mal would be known by in the fandom comes from. While at the party Kaylee called the captain by that name.

Trying to protect Inara's honor, Mal accidentally challenged a native to a sword fight, which he narrowly ended up winning.
4. The crew pretends to be on a planet to buy mud. Kaylee and Simon get drunk together and end up fighting.

Answer: Jaynestown

Jayne Cobb was a folk hero to the "mudders" on this very poor planet. The crew uses his fame to sneak property off the planet. Kaylee got upset with Simon after he implied that he wasn't interested in having sex with her.
5. The crew is forced to abandon the ship after an engine malfunction took out the life support systems.

Answer: Out of Gas

Mal put four members of the crew in each of the two shuttles the Serenity had and stayed behind himself. A passing crew stumbled upon the ship and had the part he needed. They tried to kill Mal and steal the ship, but he won the fight.

Shot and lacking oxygen, Mal managed to repair the ship before passing out.
6. Wash got upset that Zoe and Mal had so many adventures together. He insisted on going on a mission with Mal.

Answer: War Stories

The two were kidnapped and tortured. When Zoe and the crew managed to track them down, they only had enough money to save one of the two. She bought her husband's freedom then mounted an assault to rescue Mal a few hours later.
7. A bounty hunter seeks River Tam.

Answer: Objects in Space

The final episode in the official series chronology, this was the 11th produced of the 13th episodes that were made.

Jubal Early, a bounty hunter, sneaks aboard the Serenity and takes out most of the crew while he searches the ship for River. Unable to find her he gets continually more upset while searching. Near the end of the episode it was revealed that River was hiding in his own ship while he was searching hers.
8. Jayne Cobb gets a special present from his mother. Zoe and Mal get a surprise in the mail.

Answer: The Message

Jayne got a special package that included a hand made hat when the crew stopped to get their mail. Zoe and Mal got a large package that turned out to be the (presumed) dead body of a former army mate.

Eventually he wakes up and explains to them why he faked his own death.
9. The crew decided to assist a colony of Companions on a remote planet.

Answer: Heart of Gold

Companions were the nice term used for a woman who offered sex for money in this series. The job was considered to be a prestigious one and offered special training to women who sought it.

Inara was a certified Companion and the brothel the Serenity crew went to help was run by a friend of hers.
10. The crew saves a man on a derelict ship that had been attacked by Reavers.

Answer: Bushwhacked

Not long after saving the man the ship was stopped by an Alliance cruiser. They were all arrested and the ship seized after the government claimed they had been salvaging a vessel illegally.

Eventually after the man who was saved attacked the crew of the Alliance ship the Serenity crew was freed for helping during the attack.
