In this episode we get a classic western tale of a gunfighter that wants to change his ways and settle down for a life away from guns. But as most all stories with the same theme, there is really no way for the gunfighter to suddenly changes his spots without coming to face with his past.
Wes Carney is the gunfighter that has meet a young beautiful girl named Clair. Wes marries the young girl with the understanding that his gunfighting days are over. It just so happens that Clair use to be the best friend of Lucas's wife and she comes into North Fork to seek advise from Lucas.
They decide to buy a feed and grain store and just melt back into society. That is all very good until an old adversary, Owny Kincaid, finds out that Wes is living in North Fork. In no time, Owny has four other foes of Wes just waiting to take the former fighter down. It will be up to Micah and Lucas to help the town get rid of the killers on the streets.
Since this plot has been played out so many times in nearly all western shows, it was nearly obvious what was going to transpire early in the episode. This left little to the imagination for the viewer as they await the anticipated climax to beginning. Nothing really wrong with the script but it was just to routine.
I will agree with another reviewer that the gunfight scene was poorly fashioned. You have five villains, at close range, shooting at three citizens and the most the citizens received was a mild wound. With bullets flying, they could not even inflict injury on Micah that was standing like a large piece of plywood on the streets and less than ten feet away. Oh well, it is all part of the TV magic we all accept when watching any series. -- Even with little suspense, this was still above average watch.
