The son is a sociopath. The father, Ben, is described by the rest of the wagon train as ugly and villainous looking. While the son, Terry, is cute pre-teen boy.

Mrs. Morris is rightfully called out by her husband for being prideful. She wants a child and she just wants Terry because he's cute. Mrs. Morris keeps repeating that their 'good people' and 'good people' like her deserve children. She likely would have dumped him when she realized he's dangerous.

The Morrell's backstory: The mom ran off when Terry was young, but Ben didn't want to tell him that she hated her own son. When she came back she and Ben fought. Terry, thinking Ben was hurting her, grabs a gun and accidentally shoots his mother.

Ending: Ben drives off with Terry in a storm with Terry thinking their going home to his mom. Terry can't face that he killed his own mother, so he shoots Ben and runs off. The episode ends on a hopeful note as Terry faces reality and continues on the wagon train to California with Ben.
