Here is a nicely written script that was a change of pace from the norm. It begins as a brute of a farmer, Pat Swarner, comes into the Long Branch and starts harassing Kitty. Matt comes in and has to slap around the farmer to get him to leave without causing anymore trouble.
Later a down-on-his-luck man, Jud, passes an alley and sees two men in a heavy fight. One of the men goes goes down while the other walks away. The next morning Pat Swarner is found dead in the alley and Jud tells the townsfolk that he saw Marshal Dillon in the fight that killed Pat. Now some people of Dodge are going to send a letter asking for the removal of Marshal Dillon.
This was a nice change of pace as again we see how the townsfolk can quickly turn on the Marshal even after years of protection. Well written and well performed by the actors. After a few previous episodes were rather lackluster, it was nice to see the series return to its roots and produce another great western watch for the viewers.
