What happened to Simon? Who is this diabolical master of disguise?
— Firefly ‧ 2002
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Wash reacts with mock alarm to someone's sudden transformation. Asking what happened to Simon, then dubbing the culprit a diabolical master of disguise, turns confusion into melodrama. It's comic exaggeration, teasing a change of appearance as if it were a villain's scheme.
