Of course we learn how they got the famous McCain house and barn after watching this episode.
I cannot list all the parts I especially like in this episode, because each scene is good in it's own right. I love the Lucas/Oat Jackford scene. It really establishes Lucas McCain's character - he's rough and tough when he has to be. He doesn't kill if he doesn't have to. In this episode, nobody dies but it is still Western through and through!
This is the ONLY time we ever see Lucas allow Mark to stay by himself all night. I think it's because the writer they had for these first episodes wanted Mark to be more grown up. He wanted Mark to be a bit tougher. After this, Mark seems to grow down a bit and become more of a little boy of the fifties, and I'm not complaining because I love that Mark as well! He's so cute!!!
The scene where Lucas tells mark the Bible story is great as well. We saw Lucas' "tough love" attitude shine through when he doesn't allow Mark to dwell on the negative for too long, but simply gives him a "that's life, so buck up and deal with it, Pal" kind of lecture.
