* ModestyTowel: Wash covers his frontal area with a towel when Zoe and Mal walk into his and Zoe's hotel suite without knocking because Mal and Zoe feel things are getting dangerous in town and Mal wants Wash and Kaylee to get off-world to safety. Wash is naked and startled. He was just leaving the bathroom, so it's likely that they caught him just after a shower.

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: The Duke enforces rules to ensure his people follow the Alliance recommendations for how to do things to the letter. [[spoiler:Because he assumes the Alliance really does know best, and the people who actually live and work on the land are idiots. He's exactly wrong, the Alliance way of doing things is destroying the planet, and the Duke won't even allow people to leave the continent to get away from the increasingly hard work, diminishing returns, and rampant poverty. This is exacerbated because Duke just doesn't see the point in distributed infrastructure, honestly thinking that having just one of everything in a central location (i.e., his location) and making that the best it can be is better. Simon has to bluntly state that for example, travel time to a hospital is one of the most critical factors in treatment of severe trauma, and a close bad hospital is vastly better than an amazing hospital a patient won't live to arrive at.]]

''Jayne'' calls it "the worst possible way to die," and the Alliance itself outlawed them after only a handful of uses, deeming them too inhumane.

''Firefly: What Makes Us Mighty'' is a 2022 novel by M.K. England set in the ''Franchise/{{Firefly}}'' 'Verse. It is seventh in a series of novels set between ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' and ''Film/{{Serenity}}''.
''Serenity'' docks at the estate of a duke on the planet Kerry, carrying sealed crates of some kind of thing the Duke wants. Despite Mal's misgivings about working for such a fancy person, especially one with ties to the Alliance, the pay is good, and the perks are great. The Duke is friendly and personable, and despite Zoe having a bad feeling about this, the crew partakes of the Duke's fine food, fine booze, and fine hospitality, as the Duke promises to get them more work, make Kerry a regular port of call. Everything seems shiny. A bit ''too'' shiny.
Inara has been engaged by the Duke's general. While she's keen to spend time with Inara on her first vacation in way too long, the General also needs Inara's help with something. The whole crew's help, in fact.
