I just frakkin watched that. At first, I thot they shot Claudia but I knew that wasn’t possible. Once, Pete went up the stairs I knew Jinxy was gone. 
As they were approaching Sykes at the chess game, I was wondering, why the hell aren’t you shooting. There’s two of you, both with guns drawn, they could have easily stopped him. This must have been what Scott Evil felt like. Where’s Mal Reynolds when you need him.
Also HG, good job putting the force field around the trio. Although perhaps a better idea would have been putting the force field around the bomb, no?
Still good episode though. Lord John Marbury’s pocket watch will almost certainly help fix things.
