Excellent episode

Although I feel like certain characters could&apos;ve seen Sonny had some violent tendencies before they were told about Sonny&apos;s past.

Ben&apos;s wagon is stuck in the mud and a couple of guys come along and get Ben unstuck courtesy of Sonny&apos;s strength. Jesse is Sonny&apos;s friend. He&apos;s an older man that looks out after Sonny. Unfortunately Jesse gets killed and Sonny really has the odds stacked against him. There&apos;s parts of Sonny that knows something happened to Jesse. Sonny blames a horse for Jesse&apos;s death and you see Sonny trying to hit the horse. So yeah, you&apos;d think Hoss would definitely see Sonny might have a temper if in the right mood. It turns out Sonny killed somebody in another area they were in.

But there&apos;s also scenes that show that Sonny also doesn&apos;t understand that Jesse&apos;s gone and not coming back. But it also takes a twist in another direction as Sonny meets up with a little boy towards the end of the episode and he&apos;s calling the little boy &apos;Jesse&apos; even though that&apos;s not the little boy&apos;s name and he constantly tries to tell Sonny that&apos;s not his name.

I think this was a well told episode for the time period. The subject matter was handled well imo. I have no idea if the episode would hold up for those that view things through a &apos;problematic&apos; lens. I thought the writing and acting went hand in hand with each other and worked. Everybody did an excellent job imo. I see the resemblance to &apos;Of Mice and Men&apos; and think you&apos;ll enjoy the episode especially if you enjoyed that book.
