Trivia
Producer Taylor Sheridan plays Charles Goodnight in this episode. Charles Goodnight is a historical rancher that the character of Woodrow F. Call was based on in the Lonesome Dove series. Lonesome Dove is also about a cattle drive through the unsettled west.

Goofs
After the rustlers are killed the 'team' doesn't round up the cattle to take back to the wagon train. Also, they would have taken the dead rustlers' horses and guns and ammunition for their own use. There is no evidence of the cattle in the following episode which they needed for food.

Seires turn

In a series that I've really enjoyed, this episode is a huge let down.

Do I have a problem with Elsa making goo goo eyes with an American Indian? Nope.

But doing it so quickly after her loss? Yup I also don't have a problem with her narration like some others do.

Until this episode.

The idea of the Europeans having to deal with a massive and brutal storm could have been really cool. But for some reason, it seemed to be put in the background for another chance for Elsa to kiss someone.

No. In a series I've genuinely liked, this was a series turn for me.

Hope they get back on track with the next one.
