If he trusts Jayne's word that he didn't have anything to do with it then I have to believe he's right. He knew right away that Jayne was involved with the Feds on Ariel. Still eats at me though. I want to know for sure.

Hmm.. I thought Dobson escaped when Book opened the door and knocked Book out..

But he was in a position to knock Book out because he had cut through the tape around his wirst with a razor or nail file type object. An object that was either secreted about his person or supplied by somebody else, presumably Jayne.

Personally I think if Jayne was involved with Dobson's escape he would have just undone him instead of leaving him with a knife to maybe be discovered in the act of escape.

Funny. Everybody always speculates about Jayne having helped Dobson. And although he did a horrible thing at Ariel, betraying dear River, I believe him with regard to Dobson. Primarily because of Jayne asking Dobson:

"Does helping you out mean turning on the Captain?"

See, I believe this is vital to Jayne's personality; call it merc's honor, or something, but Jayne doesn't do that. In Ariel, he turned poor River in, but only because he didn't think he was doing it to the Captain:

Jayne: "What are you taking this so personal for? It ain't like I ratted you out to the Feds!"
Mal: "Oh, but you did! You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me!"

Also, don't be thrown off by this mock convo between Jayne and Mal:

Mal: "How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne?"
Jayne: "Money wasn't good enough."
Mal: "What happens when it is?"
Jayne: "Well that'll be an interesting day."

I say "mock", because, realistically, the money was of course more than good enough. Dobson offered him enough to buy his own ship, even. Face it, if that wasn't enough, nothing is ever gonna be -- which I believe is precisely what Jayne was telling the Captain. So, I believe Jayne.

Far more suspect, in my mind, was Book's behavior in all of this. Book knocks on Dobson's door, saying:

"Lawman, it's Shepherd Book. I believe you're in more danger than ..."

Dobson knocks him out, of course. But what was Book trying to accomplish there in the first place? Was it just his conscience troubling him? Or did he, indirectly, give away something about his past? As in: "Psst, crew don't know this, but I'm really Alliance connected, so let me help to spring you."

At any rate, I believe Jayne when he said he didn't have nothing to do with that.

Oh-that's something I totally passed over-Book was trying to do something when he went to Dobson. Good points!!
