In this episode we get a nice story about the love of a woman and a man finding that there is more to life than revenge. But then we also get some downright confusing scene that was just placed in the show to get the viewers some action to tie them over for another week. This story was strong enough without resorting to useless action that had nothing to do with the nicely written script.
Two visitors comes to Dodge. Abbie Twilling, a woman that use to be Doc Adams' nurse in the war and Coney Thorne that has just been release from an Arizona Territorial Jail and wants vengeance on the man who arrested him which happens to be Marshal Dillon. The two are strangers but when Thorne comes down with a 'brain fever', Doc suggest that Abbie move to a nearby room to keep a check on the ailing and feverish Thorne.
Matt has even been told by Thorne that he is in Dodge to kill him so the Marshal is on his toes. But everything seems settled when Marshal get a telegram from Arizona advising that Thorne has violated his parole. Now Matt has reason to arrest and send Thorne back to jail. But something has happened. Abbie and Thorne have developed a relationship that just may change the entire mindset of all parties involved.
As a person that is not fond of this type of tale, this episode proved to be strong enough, on its own merit, to support a well crafted story into a nice show. Even with the ridiculous violence thrown in for unknown reasons, the story was still uplifting to make for entertaining program. Good watch.
