Cochran contemplates a procedure that could cure Swearengen - or kill him. His employer indisposed, Dority must attend to a former fellow-bushwacker come to request Swearengen's permission to pull a job, and to Wu, who attempts to convey news of a 'tong' rival newly arrived from San Francisco. Bullock attempts to settle into domesticity, while Star gets a new combination bookkeeper/roommate - Trixie. Alma cuts ties with Sofia's tutor, and offers to but the Mayor's hotel. The arrival of County Commissioner Hugo Jarry spawns rumors about the camp's future and legal ownership of the gold claims.
The pace is slow once again, perhaps due to the fact that Al have no lines and doesn't really figure in this episode. Heck, this series is Al's show, he's the best character bar none, and without him it's just not the same. I wish him a speedy recovery, so we can once again enjoy his perverted views on things! The pace is just a bit too slow, and plots without the shenanigans of Al feels a bit, well, awkward and plain boring. I also hope Bullock gets his balls handed back by his wife...
