I like that Capt Reynolds had made sure there were 7 place mats on the Bonanza table when the purple bellies were going through the ship checken for stow aways. River had no clothes so she wears Kaylees things. Then they were stocked with medical supplies already and that would not give away Dr Tam's bag in the infermory. Ok the only thing left to do would be dump Simon's clothes with Wash's stuff. We don't see it done but with the place mats set for 7 people I assume it was done. In WW2 the french people who took in down allied pilots would also do this. I just liked the slickness of it in this episode which is probably overlooked.

Were very private people is all.
