Quotes
Eric 'Hoss' Cartwright: I reckon that's the way it is sometimes, you... you look at a cactus and you see a rose cause, cause a rose is what you want to see. I don't reckon there's anything wrong when you see something good and pretty. Sometimes I even do that myself. I get sorta lonely-like and I look for good and pretty things.

Crazy credits
The end credits are scrolled over the Ponderosa map with a different instrumental version of the "Bonanza" theme.

The Newcomers

The Cartwrights discover an old enemy killing steers on The Ponderosa. They head to their camp which includes John Larch - who had a run in with the Cartwright before - and a sickly woman who needs to get to the high desert country. Her brother is along with her to guide her but Larch has other plans and is egged on by the unsavoury element in his group, which leads to two killings that will be blamed on the Cartwrights. Hence, it will get a lot of the miners go up against the Cartwrights ...

There are fantastic and touching performances by Dan Blocker as the gentle giant Hoss and Inger Steven's who lends her enigmatic presence suitably as the dying lady. It's a good story, well told and moving.
