In Episode 6: Mrs. Reynolds of Firefly, the captain accidently gets married to a girl from a village the Firefly has stopped in for a job. The captain was unaware that he married the girl until the reverend reveals it to him from a book on cultures. The girl appears innocent at first, but ends up causing trouble for the entire crew. When the girl begins knocking out crew members, all of the members show worry and protection for one another. The companion shows care for the captain, who was knocked out from a drugged kiss, by kissing him and in turn passes out from the drug. The girl has routed the ship to a particular destination in space and ruined the ships controls. After the captain and the companion wake up, then entire crew bands together to fix the ship and reroute the ship. Two of the crew members fix the ships detection and navigation systems and the others help the captain disable a space net. The theme of teamwork and camaraderie can be seen throughout this episode. A group of people that trust, watch and care for each other is a key and significant point made in this episode. Since the crew has such a bond with each other, they are able to act fluidly regardless of the situation that arises and keep each other in check. The teamwork that was shown and used in this episode allows the viewers to feel and see the care that a group of people can have for each other even when they are not family. These positive messages and images from the Firefly episodes make it an amazingly easy to relate to show. It really is a tragedy that it was cancelled so soon into its series.
