Matt remembers seeing a wanted poster from over 3 years ago when he meets Billy Crale/Johnny Red (played by James Drury of "The Virginian" fame and still alive today 10-6-13). That's totally amazing, especially how those posters then weren't totally clear. No wonder Dillon is such an awesome marshal, he doesn't forget anything. The episode deals with the question is Billy Crale really who he says he is? Dillon found out earlier he died in the Civil War. The episode was good in making you guess what the truth is. Nice moment of Dillon in Kitty's room, he was all smiles like a kid in a candy store. Wonder why? I also liked Chester's honesty with Johnny Red, not holding anything back and telling it to him straight. The ending was sad and brutal as Billy's Mom Mrs Crale (Josephine Hutchinson) was beaten to death to find out where she hid her money. Just terrible. She was so nice and obviously happy her son came home. Dillon killed one of the guys, his 85th confirmed kill. I think he will reach 100 before season 5 ends.

**SPOILERS** Great episode. The thing that struck me was that it seemed that Johnny/Jimmy was trying' to go straight. A lot went unexplained about his past. One thing is that in reality, there were very few actual "Wanted Posters", or "Circulars" ever issued. It's mostly Hollywood. And putting someone's picture on one? Forget about it. They were expensive to print up and distribute, when the information could be done in a newspaper (if they had one). Mostly lawmen would get letters, or maybe telegraphs. The Wanted Posters sure looked good, though, didn't they. I had a couple when I was a kid.

Now, a petty gripe of mine is the rickety railing on Doc's outside stairway. There was a show called "Hell On Wheels" mostly baloney and DEEP baloney at that; in which they could get away with building slap-dash structures that would feature such terrible construction. Although, there were NO two story buildings at all. They were put 'em up, take 'em down shacks and tents that were mostly for railroad builders to spend their money and waste their time in. Dodge was an established town,on it's way to being a city. A good handrail would have been expected; solidly built.

Next thought is; earlier in the show, it was mentioned that Mrs. Crale had a couple of hands working the ranch with her. Where did they go? Shouldn't they help bury the dead? I could see Mrs. Crale and Johnny getting decent graves, but the two murderers? Two feet down, and coyote bait.
