Uh oh, Mal is so close to stumbling on a clue the tension is mounting. How I wish River could give a coherent and timely warning once in a while. Would be so cool if they could turn the tables on Saffron and the Hands of Blue. Ali D :~)

Yeah, they're close. River knows things, but she's not omniscient. Thanks for comments, Ali.

> Since nothing had gone wrong yet, it simply meant that the Sword of Damocles was yet dangling over his head, ready to come down on him the moment he dropped his guard.
What was it Mal said to Simon? "It's not paranoia..."
> “Show me your hand,” Simon requested authoritatively, fully in physician mode.
>“Ain’t nothing, Simon,” Mal demurred, shaking his hand.
"shaking his HEAD"?
Unless he's flapping the hand like people do sometimes after they've been burned, not that it helps.
Speaking of, I can just imagine a be-mustached Wash "explaining" to Mal about Zoe, wildly gesticulating about the curves and the backside, and Mal watching in bemused horror wondering just what is this bizarre creature he's allowed on the bridge. Yes Mal, this is the guy you hired to make sure you don't die a fiery death, so no you can't put him out the airlock to preserve your precious ears and sanity.

Ah, yes. That's not clear, is it? He's trying to shake the pain out of his own hand. Completely ineffective, but people do that. Maybe I need to fix that.
And yes, Mal worries so much he would come across as paranoid, except those things really DO happen to him. Rather frequently. ;-)
I think that after he hired Wash (on Tanaka's enthusiastic reccomendation, etc.), Mal began to have second thoughts, but what could he do? The guy was a brilliant pilot, and he was lucky to have him. Even if watching him hitting on Zoe rubbed the wrong way. But then again, I don't think it occurred to Mal that Zoe couldn't handle things herself. (And she did. Just not at all in the way Mal had anticipated.)

I got the hand shake for the pain. I do that in RL all the time for minor aches and stuff.
