Heart of Gold

Never aired on Fox, first released on DVD

What it’s about

The crew helps a brothel, run by a friend of Inara’s, against a powerful rancher who claims an unborn child.

A distress call reaches Inara: Nandi, a former Companion and friend, runs a brothel on a remote world. One of her women is pregnant by the powerful rancher Rance Burgess, and he wants the child for himself.

The crew helps defend the house, even though Burgess has far more men and guns. Mal and Nandi grow close, and Inara realises how much that hurts her.

Burgess attacks with his men and a hovercraft. In the middle of the fight the baby is born, and Nandi is killed. Mal confronts Burgess, and the young mother shoots him. Afterwards Inara tells Mal she is going to leave Serenity.

Behind the scenes
