    • Trivia
      Jane and Joanie develop an unusual friendship. In real life, Calamity Jane was close friends with the leading madam of Deadwood named Dora DuFran. In Jane's later years she earned her keep by cooking and doing laundry for the girls who worked at DuFran's brothel.
    • Goofs
      When Ellsworth and Trixie start discussing his proposing to Mrs Garret they are standing in front of a store front with a solid wooden door and a sign advertising oats and peas. In the next shot they are standing in front of a stairway between two buildings with laundry hanging behind them.
    • Quotes

      Charlie Utter: How did the two of you get along?

      Calamity Jane: Did I just fucking say I was moving in there?

      Charlie Utter: Which being it's a fucking whorehouse could indicate some fucking business arrangement or some other fucking thing.

      Calamity Jane: Yeah, I'm gonna be Queen Hooker. You're a keen fucking student of the human scene, Charlie!

    10/10
    one of the most carefully crafted scripts in the history of TV
    There is a blogger, name not necessary to this review, who insists that this series is the finest example of the TV drama ever produced, and moreover that it epitomizes the constructive nature of Man, to constantly strive to bring order from disorder.

    I decline to comment on that thesis.

    I will say that each episode convinces me that the writing by itself is among the best ever visited upon the medium This episode is a case in point.

    Many many series have had episodes where the scribes tried to build suspense ahead of some key event but this reviewer has never seen it done so nuanced, so subtly, before.

    Even at the end of the story, when viewers might have have been content to conclude that the "payoff" for the tension was merely a meeting between the two women in Seth Bullock's life, out of nowhere, in the final scene, an entire different, and jaw-dropping, outcome is presented.
