This, of course, leads Wolsey to prick up his ears.

If Saras still out there, that means another witness to the attack is still alive.

This mop-up job never ends!

Even so, Wolsey suggests an opportunity in this new development.

And with that, theyre on their way to Crooks Springs, which Virgil describes as a tough ride.

But what ride isnt in this part of the world?

But at least he gets an answer.

When Abbey asks about the medicine Isaac takes, she gets only questions as a reply.

Shes fled all this way in hopes that hell take them in.

Their troubles dont disappear at dawn.

As they prepare to leave, a girl toting a doll appears.

Isaac wants to ignore her, but, overcome by compassion, Sara embraces her.

This, to put it mildly, turns out to be a bad idea.

(Will they even get any soup?

But even the governor doesnt get special treatment.

Then they get down to business.

Young would like to acquire Fort Bridger.

So, Bridger notes, would the army.

I believe, he tells his companion, we better get a drink while we still fucking can.

As the day stretches on, the situation inside the French-Canadian camp turns ever more nightmarish.

Their predicament seems to have altered Isaacs views of his companions.

While this unfolds, Wolsey meets with Dellinger somewhere on the plains.

Asked by Dellinger what he knows about the Mountain Meadows Massacre, Wolsey immediately turns defiant.

The victims included Mormons, and its his understanding that Red Feather and Wolf Clan were behind the attack.

In fact, one witness, Jacob, has confirmed that.

Dellinger sees through the bravado, prompting Wolsey and his men to ride off in a huff.

Sara, Isaac, and Devin arent the only ones being held captive.

However unpleasant, Abishs experience is much different from that of Sara and the others.

And, perhaps, not all bad.

Jacob, of course, remains intent on rescuing her despite the bad company it requires him to keep.

Bullets and Arrowheads

Amidst all this carnage, Devin and Two Moons form a sweet friendship.

The series is set in a cruel world where acts of kindness can exact a terrible cost.

(See above.)

Two Moons proves essential in saving everyone.

Perhaps she thought this would be the only time shed have to do that.

The events of the third episode have proven otherwise.
