"In this episode, Dean Beard is a guy that is only looking out for himself. While coming across two people in need, he refuse to offer aid. He cheats people into selling him land far below market value. He even kills a person but gets away with it when there are no witnesses to confirm the obvious. He is just an all around bad guy.

Pressure gets so heavy on Dean that he decides to leave town. But now ..."
