i dont think inara is running from anything. i think she is like kain in kung-fu walking the earth of in this case flying the black. i think in part she is trying to find her self. and her destney. i think she chose the path she did because it will lead her to her destney. i think she belived her destney lay along this path as apossed to on cruse ships.

She may not be literally running from anything. She may have ghosts or a checkered past, but who doesn't? It could be that she is on Serenity to get from point A to point B. None of her johns seemed surprised that she was making house calls, the crew calls her embassador because some places won't let them touch down without someone respectable like a companion on board, (I read that somewhere), and she states herself that she needs to RETURN once a year for an exam. No, I don't think she is on the lam. She is probably running from herself, but wherever you go, there you are.

Because . . . she's a mata hari!

She's a recruit for the underground movement that were involved in River's escape! She made sure that Serenity was on Persephone when Simon recieved his 'package', and then she stuck around to make sure he and River were safe and secure!

She's a spy!

That's why, when the feds caught up with them in Serenity, she didn't blink when she told them to run, because it was her mission to protect the Tams. Her presence on Serenity keeps them out of trouble . . . er, yeah!

Find the phone and hold on to it!

What do you mean Inara receives a package. Is this in the Episode or the Script? Cuz I'm missing it.

It’s in the episode. When Inara and Kaylee walk up to the post office thingy there is a small square box on the counter (looks like its just big enough to hold a baseball), that Inara pockets. Looks suspicious since no one else saw her take it (I believe) and since we still don't know what's in it.

maybe it was a box of glow-in-the-dark condoms?

But cereally.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be anything at all, just a random shaped package to show us that Inara isn't on the up and up?

Or, I don't know from experience, but is Joss more foresighted than that?

Inara certainly was on the up and up. Her credentials were checked throughly by the local authorities in Train Job. Of course, now that she's been associating with known smugglers who knows what the authorities have on her, could be they're all wanted, could be they're just not bigtime enough to be more than a blip on the police radar.

The only person posting here who knows what Inara's story is won't tell us (please Tim just drop a couple of hints). I don't believe she has any kind of a past to run from or that she's a spy. Maybe she's simply decided that she didn't want to be a high priestess. I know a couple of people who walked away from high level management opportunities.
