War Stories

First aired December 6, 2002 as episode 9 on Fox

What it’s about

Niska takes revenge for the botched train job and kidnaps Mal and Wash. Zoe has to choose whom to rescue first.

Niska hasn’t forgotten the botched train job. When Mal and Wash fly off to a deal, he has them kidnapped and taken to his space station to make an example of Mal.

Niska has them tortured. Between the torments Mal and Wash argue about Zoe – Wash is jealous of the bond she and Mal share from the war. That very argument keeps them both conscious.

Zoe brings the ransom, but Niska releases only one of them – and she picks Wash without hesitation. When Niska sends Mal’s severed ear, the whole crew storms the station; even Simon and Book take up arms. River shoots three men with her eyes closed. Mal gets his ear back, and Simon sews it on again.

Behind the scenes

Written by Cheryl Cain. At its heart are Wash and Zoe, and Wash’s jealousy of the close bond Zoe and Mal share from the war.
