A tediously convoluted episode is redeemed by a last-act twist
. Not your whole brain, but perhaps the part that enjoys being able to follow the exact plot of what’s going on in a TV show. It’s not that every show needs to drip feed us plot lines like a neatly-hyperlinked Wikipedia entry, butassumes a lot of interest and knowledge in its audience. Each episode introduces so many new characters and backstories – you would need a notepad and pen to keep track of them all – that it’s easier just to let go and enjoy the vibe.
This episode opens with one the show’s favourite themes: murder. At sunset in Hoxem, Wyoming, a woman runs until she is shot and flung over barbed wire. The man responsible then turns the gun on himself and pulls the trigger. The couple, we learn, are the Flynns: the wife was suffering from cowpox and had been branded with a ‘B’ before her death. This is all discovered by Billy Myers . Also in the picture is Flynn’s wife, Martha, who is attempting to retrieve cattle belonging to Flynn and Myers.
This episode’s greatest asset is highlighting Cornelia’s development; she rides around this wild land with a greater sense of ease. She’s still uncertain and fearful about everything going on around her – it would be foolish not to be – but now she’s seen enough, and survived enough, to know that she can take the unknown on. In one eery scene, she’s watched from by two men and their mother, Black Eyed Mog .
Cornelia returns the children sooner than expected. As the Mennonites discuss meeting the Clarkes, Cornelia realises that the latter are not to be trusted. It’s a satisfying penny drop moment for Cornelia, who rushes back to the Clarkes to try to protect Eli. Katie and Cornelia’s tense, winding discussion – the best from this episode – is great: a discussion over their dead children, which ends with Cornelia stabbing Katie in the chest.
