Original Airdate: 10.04.02
After completing a job on a planet, Mal inadvertently ends up married to Saffron, a naive young woman who stows away to be with her "husband". Awkwardness and hilarity ensues until Saffron knocks out Mal and Wash and sets up the ship to be captured by pirates, locking it off-course and sealing the controls. The Serenity is on course with a carrion house, a ship that converts ships to scrap via an electronic net. They manage to shoot out the breakers on the net and catch up to Saffron.
