Pretty Good

Paladin arrives in town along with shady lady (Browne) where he finds old army buddy (White) now the marshal. Trouble is the marshal is running the town behind a set of righteous rules that only he makes. In short, the ageing guy has turned into a fast-draw tyrant. Paladin's offended, especially when the marshal picks on the shady lady, but will he challenge his old comrade-in-arms.

Pretty good episode. The kittenish Browne manages a head of steam when her character needs to. Frankly, White doesn't manage the force needed to be a persuasive tyrant. Still some tension arises as we watch their old friendship sour. But will there be a showdown, and if so, what will Paladin do since the marshal seems a hair faster.
