In this blog, I am going to write about Firefly episode 4 ‘Shinding’. After serenity returned to Persphone, Inara was employed by a rich man called Atherton Wing and she was going to go to the party with him. However, Badger, the crimal, had a job for Mal which needs Mal to get close to the noble and make him to hire Mal. Mal thought that it is good to attend the party, so he bought Kaylee a dress and tried to go a party with her. However, Inara was also in the party with Atherton. He asked Inara to stay Persphone for him. But, when Mal came and Atherton saw Inara and Mal were so friendly, he became jealous. Then he said some unexpected words that he did not try to say to Inara. Then Mal punched Atherton and tried to have a fight next morning with the sword. Sir Harrow, the noble Mal tried to meet, volunteered to be Mal’s second for the fight. When they had the match in the morning, Mal was attacked by Atherton and became a bad position. However, Inara told him if he does not kill Mal, then she will stay with him. Then, Mal managed to put a sword at Atherton’s neck. He could kill him, but he did not. After the match, Sir Harrow told Mal that he will hire Mal. In this episode, while Mal’s goal was to hired by Sir Harrow. However, it was more focused on the fight between Mal and Atherton. I was kind of confused about this episode because it was not very fluent. I hope the other episodes are better than this episode. The fight was kind of funny and impressive anyway.
