It makes sense, in a twisty kind of way. But, here's the thing...

Can River save him from that, from needing abuse-for lack of a better way to call it-to feel loved?

Remember, she's been abused too-by the Hands of Blue, and the people they work for-and her and Jayne together could very easily be the blind leading the blind.

i hope they find a path that's good for both of them...
