Firefly Episode 9

In this episode Jayne turns on the crew.  It could be argued that this was foreseeable when thinking about the types of things Jayne has already done.  He always has these comments that make it seem like he is untrustworthy.  Anyways, in this episode, Jayne discovers that the Alliance has a bounty out for Simon and River.  Obviously, the rest of the crew doesn't even think twice about the bounty, however, Jayne decides to turn them over to the Alliance.  His plan goes wrong when he is also captured by the Alliance and he along with Simon and River are taken prisoner.  Mal and Zoe have a plan to get them back but the plan goes wrong.  In the end Mal is the only one who knows what Jane does and keeps him trapped.  He then has this meeting with the crew in front of Jayne where he forces Jayne to tell the rest of the crew what he said.  All in all this event really shows just how much Mal cares for his crew.  It seems that he and Jayne have been through a lot but what Jayne has done is almost unforgivable for putting the rest of his crew in danger.  Mal once again shows just how high his moral is when its not related to stealing or thieving.  I am anxious to see, however, what ends up playing out with Jayne and what the crew decides to end up doing with him in terms of him staying or going.
