Summary
Lamb holds the collar out. “Put it on.”
River eyes it, swallows. “Why would I put it on?” he asks testily. He doesn’t like this line of questioning, in that he does like it, wants to keep following it, but he shouldn’t. This is dangerous.
“Because you said you were good at this,” Lamb explains, dragging his eyes up and down assessingly, “and I want you to show me.”

Summary
“What will it take?” he asks.
Duffy hums, not fully absently, but from River’s perspective, it does appear like Duffy’s looking at his mouth again. Or maybe it’s his gun. Perhaps both, given that they’re in such close proximity.
“What do I have to do to convince you not to kill me?”

Summary
River Cartwright, being the loser he is, really gets the colors wrong during the training exercise. Given that Spider tried to trick him on Taverner’s command, it means he actually gets them right (white shirt, blue tee). So he catches the right guy, to Taverner’s dismay: now she doesn’t have an excuse to get rid of him. Her plan is temporarily delayed—and River becomes one of the Dogs, at Duffy’s disposal.
River (again, being the loser he is) is totally oblivious of this. He doesn’t understand why his friend Spider acts somewhat awkwardly around him. And absolutely ignores all the red flags from Duffy and Hobbs.
