Plot; Mal and the Serenity crew team up w/the duplicitous Saffron to steal a priceless artifact from one of her former marks.
The return of Saffron (Christina Hendricks) is a welcome one, and not just because Hendricks is drop dead gorgeous. Her turn as the scheming Saffron might just be the best performance in a show filled w/them. Had the series continued, I've no doubt Saffron would continue to pop up to cause trouble for the crew of the Serenity. If there's been a nit to pick w/the series it's that it sometimes struggles to include everyone in a meaningful way, but Trash is an example of how you can give characters impactful moments, even if the size of their role is relatively small. The only character who suffers here is Sheppard, who is relegated to a single throwaway line/moment.
