We don't see much of Slim here as he's lying injured out in open country somewhere after being shot while following a gang of outlaws. But we do see Jess' increasingly desperate efforts to get the sheriff to take him seriously regarding the need to locate Slim and bring him home in worsening winter weather. It seems the only way to do this is to persuade the bad guy to give up his location by any means to hand and Jess is fully prepared to be as violent as required until he's restrained by the sheriff. The prisoner however refuses to play ball until he's released which the sheriff also won't consider. But Jess manages to persuade the sheriff to give him access (unarmed) to the prisoner and he tries every way he can to get the information he needs without success, till eventually Jess is obliged to forcibly take the keys and let his adversary out. Even then it needs a bit of strong arm stuff to squeeze the info out of him. Sufficient to say, he finds Slim in time and manages to bring him home, dealing successfully with the gang later. Well done Daisy, using her training to remove the bullet from Slim (as usual from the shoulder, conveniently). It's a good episode and unpredictable to some extent, with a particularly nasty piece of work as the baddie. However I was a little disappointed that Slim's rescue wasn't accompanied by a more emotional reaction from the rest of his "family", especially Jess, who after some practical help for Daisy during the bullet retrieval, showed no signs of emotion, affection, relief etc but merely set off in pursuit of his adversary albeit necessarily quickly enough to avoid pursuit. A bit of an anti-climax in that respect I thought.
