What is family for?
bkoganbing28 March 2017
This Bonanza episode focuses on Michael Landon who is feeling the need to establish his place in the Cartwright orbit and to have some achievements of his own. I can see his point, he just doesn't want to be thought of as the kid brother.

He bids on a contract to deliver lumber and he has a very good idea on how to do it which I will not reveal. The problem is that Landon puts his trust in the wrong people and of course in the end whom can you really trust but family.

And no doubt about it the Cartwrights are as a loyal a family as you can get. This is a nice story about the loyalty and devotion of the Cartwrights as a family unit.

will Joe grow up?
georgeredding16 November 2021
This episode starts off with Joe showing his immaturity by becoming involved in a fight in a bar. His father and brothers do reprimand him him for it. He later proves himself by attempting to earn a contract to deliver timber The main problem is he has to compete against Will Povey, a mean man who seems to get his way on anything he attempts. How will Joe do against such mean against the horrible human being?

Like most of the Bonanza episodes, this one is another excellent character stud. Truly Joe does make a quest for himself. A good episode for many reasons.

The Quest

Warning: Spoilers
Little Joe is restless, feeling as though his Pa and brothers are always looking over his shoulder and never giving him his proper respect as a man. A company is taking bids from outfits to provide lumber for a new project they have beginning in the area, and Little Joe decides to go after the contract, on his own. Pa, Hoss and Adam keep their distance in order to give Joe his space, and Little Joe takes on the whole operation himself, hiring his own crew, including friend Dave Donovan. Donovan proves to be not such a good friend by taking advantage and jeopardizing Joe's plans. Joe fires Donovan and the some of the crew that he brought on to work. Donovan, with the help of Povaey (the man Little Joe beats out for the job) sets up to destroy Joe's plans.
