I've been watching vintage Western TV shows with my husband recently. Gunsmoke, Tales of Wells Fargo, Wagon Train, etc. Many of them show mean actions toward what I refer to as "the least and the last" of us. This episode appeared to follow that same model. At one point the Santee mother reveals all the heartache that she endured raising the older one of her sons. Her monologue lasted quite some time. It touched my heart and moved me. I could feel her pain and it reminded me of real life events we read about now. The ending though, the ending just took my breath away! I started to shout at my husband once they said that the stranger had been tracking them all the way from New York City where he had been a successful actor. And I knew who this character had to be! Don't want to spoil it by saying who it was but I shouted to my husband, "He's ********" The monologue that Denny Miller's character spoke was beautiful. He delivered his entire message and both my husband and I had tears in our eyes. It gave me goosebumps. Amazing episode.
