Firefly episode 5 ‘Safe’ is the most exciting episode in the series to me. This episode is about Simon and River got kidnapped. After Serenity arrived in some kind of town to deliver the cargo. Then Simon and River went to the town and have some fun. Simon was watching River for her safe. However, Simon ran away because of some kind of planets he dislikes. When Simon realized the situation, River disappeared. He tracked River and she went to the festival. When they were enjoying the festival, a settler kidnapped Simon. Then River followed him, so he kidnapped her too. Simon and River believed that the crew will rescue them. However, there was a fight between the Sheriff and the buyer and Book got shot. So, while the crew members were trying to save Book, they were forgetting about Simon And River. Simon realized that the settlers kidnapped them because they need a doctor. However, River was treated as a witch and the village tries to burn her. Simon tries to stop them but it was impossible to stop the ones like them. Then the Serenity came and rescued Simon and River. After they came into the ship, Mal told them that they are the part of the crew. It was the most impressive part of the story that I was almost about to cry. In this episode, I could see Simon’s love for his sister, River. He tried hard to rescue his sister. Also, I think now Simon and River know that the crew members think them as members not as a storage. I thinkg if people see this episode, there will be some people who is going to cry.
