The Firefly season 1 episode 12 titled "The Message" follows the crew of Serenity as they receive a mysterious package that contains the body of their old war buddy, Tracey. As they attempt to return his body to his family, the crew becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy.

The episode begins with the crew receiving the package containing Tracey's body. The somber mood quickly turns to confusion as they discover that the package also contains a recorded message from Tracey, begging for their help to transport his body to his family on St. Albans. The crew, including Captain Mal, Zoë, and Jayne, set out to complete Tracey's request.

As they make their way to St. Albans, Tracey's former employer, the crime lord Adelei Niska, sends a group of dangerous bounty hunters after them. The bounty hunters are led by Womack, a man who worked with Tracey and the crew during the war and who has a longstanding grudge against the Serenity crew. The crew is forced to fight their way out of a dangerous ambush, leaving them all injured and stranded on a deserted moon.

As they attempt to recover and repair their ship, the crew discovers that Tracey's body is actually a decoy, and that he is alive and hiding on the ship. Tracey reveals that he stole a mysterious device from Niska, and that he needs the crew's help to return it. The crew is hesitant to get involved in any criminal activities, but ultimately agrees to assist Tracey.

The crew makes their way to Niska's space station in order to return the device to its rightful owner. However, Niska has other plans, and once again the crew is forced to fight their way out of danger.

The episode ends with the crew returning to St. Albans to deliver Tracey's true body to his grieving family. Despite the danger and trouble encountered along the way, the crew successfully completed their mission, honoring the request of their fallen friend.
