This is quite a watchable episode, starting with a couple of insufferable brothers taunting a man into a gunfight deliberately and after he's killed , trying to do the same with Jess Harper. Jess shows enormous self restraint, given that he's a quick tempered man himself and as we'd expect, given that it's a series so he's likely to survive (!) and eventually it ends well for him. However, it seems strange that even by season 4, when presumably he's lived in the area for only 4 years, that he has a history with the father of these two brothers, in that he shot and wounded the older man, damaging his right hand, FIVE years before. I wonder if the scriptwriters ever think about the givens in a plot before creating an episode!

Blayne Family Values

This Laramie story finds Robert Fuller going against the Blayne family whose patriarch John Anderson was crippled in his gun hand by Fuller when he was acting as a deputy some years back. In the old west that's almost like castration so Anderson's got good reason he thinks for wanting Jess Harper's hide.
Which he's passed on to his two sons Paul Comi and Jack Chaplain. But during the course of this episode it's Anderson who rethinks his position because Fuller gives him reason to. The brothers run with a gang of outlaws who among other things rob stagecoach stations like the Sherman station.
I will have to say that Fuller is really pushed here and shows great patience in a trying situation. Nicely done by Anderson and Fuller in this episode.
