Episode Summary

Donna Killmer is a dressmaker in Laramie. Her brother-in-law, Al, returns with her estranged husband Joe. Joe had left Donna to become an outlaw, and got shot. Al came up with a scheme for Donna to turn Joe in, collect the reward money, let the state take of his medical bills, and then break him out before he goes to trial. Donna reluctantly brings Joe to the marshall's office, and Dan immediately suspects that something's not right. Donna changes her mind, and decides to give Joe a choice. Joe can either go back with Al's gang, or to pay his debt to society, then come back and start over with her.moreless

    The focus for this episode was mainly on the guest stars. The guys that played Al and Joe were really good. The lady that played Donna was terrible. She needed to be more emotional, but instead she came across very wooden. Al comes across really slimy, while Joe doesn't get much until the end. I recognized the actor that played Joe from episode of Maverick where he played a rich guy that paid Bart to trade places with him. In the end, Joe decides to make the right call, and go back with his wife. John, Peter, and Peggie do their usual good job. I liked the scene where Lily is trying to talk Donna into doing the right thing. Lily really added some much needed heart to this show. Dan and Johnny have really turned into good sleuths figuring out when something is about to go down. I love the shootouts on this show, they are always so well done. So I guess to sum it up, there is more to like than there is to dislike. Is it one their better episodes? No, but it'll keep you entertained for thirty minutes.moreless
