This is one of the best episodes in the series.
Allowing young Creed to be hanged thinking he would not suffer death certainly was a startling ending. However, he never realized that he was a jerk and become a mature individual and understand that his arrogance is what got him into trouble. But then, the last minutes of the episode and ending wouldn't have been so startling.
Did Dal die like a man? I'm not so sure, considering what he thought would happen. Were the Major's actions for his self interest to make him look good to others by having a brave son?
