Suspicions arise that the settlers from last
episode were not actually killed by Sioux but by "road
agents", so the unlikely pair of Doc Cochran (Brad Dourif) and
Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) do everything to guard the life of the only
survivor off the massacre, little Sofia (Bree Seanna Wall) - much to the
dismay of local saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian McShane), whose men were
actually the road agents in question, even if without his knowledge. Thing
is, this is exactly Swearengen's line of business, and he fears if his men
are accused of even a raid he didn't order himself, he might still be
dragged into the affair. So he tries to send his men after the girl - but
the Doc and Jane have grown wise on Swearengen and bring Sofia to a safe
place. At the same time, Swearengen and Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant)
butt heads more and more, especially since Bullock's somehow associated
wtih Wild Bill Hickock (Keit Carradine), who might eventually pose a
threat to Swearengen. This isn't good for Bullock, as he and his partner
Sol Star (John Hawkes) want to buy land from Swearengen to open a hardware
store. In a so far unrelated story, Brom Garret (Timothy Omundson), a
rich guy from back East who pictured himself a prospector, has to come to
the conclusion that the land he has bought is totally worthless when it
comes to digging for gold ... It's not that this episode of Deadwood
is bad, there are several good scenes and decent character development -
it's just that it seems to meander rather aimlessly between its many
plotlines, even sets up new ones without giving closure to others, so
basically comes across as rather confused and confusing, and despite the
great sets, costumes and overall authentic look, this resembles a soap
opera more than a western as such.
