I dunno, I don't see Kaylee basing her ego much on firefights. If she'd messed up something in her ship she might be ashamed, but no one on the crew would really expect her to kick ass or anything.

On a slightly different topic, what if book is/was an agent for a rival gov't entity that knows about the blue hands, and is keeping an eye on River?... its a possibility.

Almost tempted to start another thread for this one but what about since the end of Ariel and this one Jayne's seeming transformation? Buying fresh apples for the crew, pitching in his money, and going along for the fight.

Has he maybe learned something and is turning into "family man" Jayne?

I'd say all of the above. Several emotions seem to pass over Kaylee's face in her last scene.

She's ashamed all for herself. She feels as if she failed Mal and the crew, and probably as if she failed herself too. She expected better of herself.

She's also ashamed that River saw her crumble. And it only makes it worse that River turned out to be The Terminator. So now Kaylee's both afraid of River and ashamed that this frail little girl who she played with ended up taking charge when she herself fell apart.

Overall, Kaylee looks like she just doesn't know what to think right now, either of River or herself.

*sniff* One of the most heart-wrenching moments in my TV watching career, seeing that gun shaking in Kaylee's hand.

And did anyone notice that chilling look that RIVER gave to KAYLEE when River was standing on the catwalk, and then walked away?

River was able to shoot the guards without looking. And when River took the gun from Kaylee, she said to herself, "Can't look. Can't look."
