Lazarus learns his true identity (James Cathcart) in this episode and is reunited with wife Claire and brother Patrick.
After reading a newspaper notice saying Claire would wait for him in a certain town, Lazarus goes there even though he suspects it is a trap by federal agents to capture him.
His suspicion was correct, and the bulk of the episode takes place in this town where 25 federal agents under Major Gaffney are holding Claire as bait to draw Lazarus.
Lazarus and Patrick team up despite Patrick's anger with his brother for not saving their parents when Richmond fell during the Civil War.
After several episodes in which little or nothing is revealed about Lazarus' forgotten past, it was nice to get back to that mystery. Many blanks are filled in for Lazarus, but in the end he is in pretty much the same situation he was in at the beginning.
Of the guest stars, I liked Tim Ransom as Brendon Hamilton, Major Gaffney's aide, the most. He just seemed more natural and believable than the others.
Robert Knepper as Patrick Cathcart didn't do much for me, which is surprising because he had a good part with great lines.
Wayne Grace is convincingly malevolent as Major Gaffney, the former superior officer of Capt. James Cathcart when he was "one of the union's most fearless operatives."
Isabelle Townsend plays Claire Cathcart as an intelligent, savvy woman who doesn't miss much. A fitting partner for James Cathcart (a.k.a. Lazarus).
I had to wonder if the producers intended at first for this to be the last episode, not just because so much is revealed about Lazarus' back story, but because he is shown riding off alone with a setting (or rising) sun silhouetting him.
