Quotes:
Tolliver Humphries:
My great-grandfather was in the 28th. I wonder if you might have known him. His name was Tolliver Humphries.
Bill Compton: Tolliver Humphries. Yes, I knew him very well. We fought together. Tolliver Humphries was my friend. He was a brave man, perhaps to a fault. I dare say it contributed to his death.
Tolliver Humphries: What happened? Were you there?
Bill Compton: I was.
[flashes back to a battle field with wounded and dying men]
Bill Compton: We were about twenty miles north of where I stand now. The federals outnumbered us 5 to 1 and they had better fire power as well. We spent much of the afternoon recovering the bodies of those we'd lost. There was a boy in our troop, no more than 13 or 14...

There is a lot of back-story in this episode about Bill (Stephen Moyer). Everyone else takes a backseat; even Jason (Ryan Kwanten) and his fooling around with V, which gets him into trouble with Tara (Rutina Wesley).
Bill talks about his family settling in the area and about the War (Civil). The old folks in town are enchanted to talk to someone who may have served with their relatives. Bill, of course, knows them all.
We also see a flashback to the War and how Bill managed to stumble into his fate.
Poor Gran (Lois Smith). Is she dead?
