Especially after he's used the syringe, and we've discovered who Mal really is.
I didn't think a spoiler warning was necessary

I think there's definitely something in the mix about Inara's age/appearance. If you recall in HOG, Nandi greets Inara with "You haven't changed at all." Definately something keeping her young. But I doubt it's the syringe (otherwise, why would she have got it out when she knew Reavers were attacking - unlikely to want a quick "make me young" dose at a time like that!).
May I present the best theory to date.... Inara is a robot! The Inara-bot, if you will.
[kudos go to the combined powers of nifty conspiracy theorists over at the OB]As for Shohreh Aghdashloo, I think she'll probably come in for a short appearance as the House Mistress or a Companion Guild big-wig.

"Some people juggle geese"
The "Inara is taking youth drugs" idea has gone around a bit. It is almost as popular as the "Inara is dying from an incurable condition" idea. Either sort of drug could have been in the package she picked up in Message.
As far as why Inara would take the drug when the Reavers are coming, it could be that the drug is carefully timed. If you DON'T take it every day between 6 pm and 7 pm, it just stops working. If the Reavers attacked during the time, it would sort of be a thing of "Great lot of good this has done for me. I'm going to die now. Is it worth it?"

Sorry Channain, didn't read your whole post (I'm trying to be spoiler free) but got the gist of the beginning. And I got us another theory (about the actress, anyway..)
She could be playing Inara's mother. Remember in Trash when she states who has influence over her affairs. Her mother was stated. And I'd totally buy her as Inara's mom. But then again, I scanned some of your post, so it could be fallacious anyway.

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.
I think it's only in the shooting script, not the actual episode. At least not on the episode on my DVDs -- I've searched several times for a glipmse of this and come up with nothin'.
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

the suringe was a suiside drug intendid to finish her of quick, rather than the fate that would befall
her at the hands of the reivers.

Nope; re-watch that section with the audio commentary from Joss and Nathan turned on.

I was once again rewatching Out of Gas. When Inara is renting the shuttle from Mal and he mentions the surveying couple interested in renting it, Inara tells him how it's going to be. This isn't really the point of course. She tells mal that he will rent the shuttle to her and for less money. She does this not only to be coy and assert her authority, but more importantly because she was in need of immediate transport and she didn't have a lot of money. This indicates the state of her flight.

I think she ran because she got too close to a guy who actually worked for the guild and so she couldn't endure being around him while he was sleeping with his clients.
Just like after she found out that Mal slept with her friend, it was the same story and she just couldn't go through the pain of pretending it was okay and it didn't matter.
Oh, heck, I don't know! She could be running from bunnies for all I know!
