“Out
of Gas” is as close to a bottle episode as Firefly
could get. Almost all of it takes place
on Serenity, with the conflict happening
on just the ship. This smaller scale
premise allows for greater focus on the characters (the only ones who are
really in danger in this), lending to one of Firefly’s greatest episodes.
Synopsis: What happened in the direct aftermath of Cinder and Pyrrha's
duel during the Battle of Beacon? How did Qrow retrieve Ruby? How did Weiss
escape? This short story may provide some answers, plus a few others as well.
