Storyline
Mal and the crew of Serenity land to pick up some contraband on the mud-producing planet of Canton where labor is provided under servitude run by the local magistrate. Jayne had once robbed the boss with a partner but barely escaped by jettisoning from their getaway vehicle his partner (now waiting for revenge) and the money boxes (who have made him a legendary hero). Jayne is recognized by all and "welcomed" accordingly. Sub-plots show Simon and Kaylee face their growing romantic feelings, River first tries to "fix" the Bible and is later traumatized by seeing Book's hair. Meanwhile, Inara is "making a man of" the magistrate's resentful son who helps the crew escape out of spite to his father. But there has been a confrontation with Jayne's abandoned partner whose vengeful shotgun kills one of Jayne's young hero-worshipers, bringing Jayne to verge of philosophy with Mal. Written by

Another unforgettable episode. Our hired muscle turns out to be an unlikely hero. The crew takes a job to a planet who's main export is mud. Seems easy enough get in get out. Grab the goods get off world to the buyer and everyones happy. Whoa just hold on Big Jayne is a kinda of folk hero. The legend not only lives he's back got songs and statues about we must have Jayne Day. But our hero is really just a robber who left his partner in the crime and dumped the loot to save his hide. But never the less its good cover for the motley crew to get the illegal goods and go. The head of mudville wants payback. Funny, good climax, and touching in the head. We see a softer side of are harden tuff guy Jayne.
