After Rich returns from two weeks on the range, he and Gloria are anxious for some time alone together. Arranging this alone time is even more difficult than usual since their old friend Robert McDaniels has returned to work on the ranch. He is also sleeping in the one-room cabin with the married couple and Pan. Beyond McDaniel's return, the twosome have other issues which are preventing them from their much wanted alone time. They have to protect McDaniels from any intruders as he is still wanted for murder, with a bounty on his head. And they have to deal with Tommy as his under-performance is getting worse due to his hormonal preoccupation with Kit. Pan ultimately learns why Tommy doesn't seem to know anything about being a ranch hand let alone a cowboy. Through all these distractions, Gloria has a feeling that Rich is avoiding being intimate with her for a whole different reason unknown to her. Her carnal desires are made worse by an unusual request from Rupert Mowat.
