Script's penal reform agenda never intrudes on compelling drama in exemplary episode, the best of season six. As the three paroled convicts, Anthony Call, Darwin Joston and Don Pedro Colley do more than justice to their sharply written roles, convincing the viewer that their friendship, forged by years of shared duress within the walls, is an enduring bond. The actors also earn extra credit for gumption by hard-riding with Drury and McClure into the episode's pulse-pounding climax. As an undercover spy, supporting player Wesley Lau makes a small acting masterpiece out of his explosive denunciation scene. Long roll-out into the start of a cattle drive is a scene that will stir the red blood of any true western fan.

That newfangled idea of parole
bkoganbing5 July 2019
John McIntire brings three new hands to Shiloh for roundup. But only The Virginian knows they're convicts. The warden at the territorial pen is a friend of
the Granger family and he's trying out this new idea of parole and these three
who are played by Don Pedro Colley, Darwin Joston, and Anthony Call are an
experiment to slowly integrate them back in society.
Let's say that they all don't quite work out. But in the end they do show a certain amount of character.
Best in the cast is Anthony D. Call who is a tough kid from the Tenderloin area of Manhattan. He's one tough nut to crack.
Good episode especially for Call.
