- GoofsIn the early part of the show, when Matt asks Kitty for help with Cara, Kitty's mole on her upper right cheek is covered up, as to appear it's non-existent. Later on, her mole reappears.
- Crazy creditsHoward Culver's character, as proprietor of the Dodge House hotel, is listed in the credits as Mr. Uzzel; however, the character's name is never spoken.
Featured review
An old girlfriend wants back into the Marshal's life.
Inside the Dodge House a woman has arrived by the name of Cara. Cara is an old flame of Matt's and it has been years since they have seen each other. She appears to still have a crush on Matt and comes to him for help. Matt gets her a job at the Long Branch, that does not make Kitty to happy, and goes to work trying to make money.
Matt has been informed by a regional Sheriff that there is a bank robber in Kansas named Tolliver. He says that no one has been close enough to Tolliver to get a good look so no one really knows what he looks like. But the sheriff tells Matt that he has a woman working for him that cases the town out before the robbery. Matt becomes suspicious about Cara.
The episode gives the viewer a brief look, which is rare, into Matt's earlier life. It was kind of obvious from the beginning what was going to transpire but the writer did throw in an ending that is classic 'Gunsmoke'. The episode was entertaining enough to make for a good watch.
Note- Cara was to have arrived in Dodge during the night. That morning, while still in her room, calls for Matt. After they meet Matt says he needs to go to meet the 9am stage which the Sheriff is riding. They go to the jail and Chester is cooking. Chester without ever meeting Cara or talking to Matt about Cara, seems to know how Cara looks when the Sheriff gives a description.
