Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen arguing the injunction (technically ex parte & improper, though Jarrod does set out pushing for speed in making a decision, & not the decision itself), the Judge insists on taking his time & holding a full hearing. He then acknowledges what a delay risks the Barkleys. Neither Jarrod nor the Judge think to issue (or, in Jarrod's case, request to issue) a temporary injunction until such time as a decision is made & a permanent injunction issued (or not).
- Quotes
Adam Howard: [Nick walks into Adam Howard's office] Well now, another Barkley. Wouldn't it save time if you all came down here at once?
Nick Barkley: I'd like to ask you a few questions, Mr. Howard.
Adam Howard: I don't have to answer it, Mr. Barkley.
Nick Barkley: Well, you're gonna hear 'em anyway.
Adam Howard: You're quite wrong. I have some business to discuss with these men. Now, will you please excuse me.
Nick Barkley: Well, I have some business to discuss with you, Mr. Howard. It's about water.
Adam Howard: I've said all I'm going to say about that water.
Nick Barkley: Why you doin' this to us?
Adam Howard: You ask your brother Jarrod. Now get outta here, Barkley!
Nick Barkley: What's Jarrod got to do with it?
Olson: [Olson stands up] Now you heard Mr. Howard. Now get going.
Nick Barkley: I don't want any trouble.
[Nick turns as if to leave and then pivots back to hit Olson resulting in a fight between Nick and three of Howard's men]
The next scene shows Adam Howard helping his son, David, practice shoot a rifle. Then appears the woman that Jarrod was with in Stockton. Her name is Marcy the wife of Adam Howard. After Adam opens a letter the next thing he says is that the entire family is going to Stockton- he has business there.
Adam has learned of his wife seeing Jarrod and now is determined to get back at the entire Barkley family. His business in Stockton is to buy the spread next to the Barkley's ranch and dam up the creek. And in the middle of a drought the entire Barkley cattle herd is in jeopardy of being killed.
Jarrod goes to talk with Adam but things go sour. Adam confronts Jarrod with times and places that Jarrod and Marcy have been seen together. And all we get from Jarrod is that Adam is wrong about what he believes.
All viewers know there is a secret between Jarrod and Marcy that the two do not want made public. With both refusing to answer questions the viewer can only expect the worse. And when the herd starts dying it seems violence is the only option.
Simon Oakland is the guest star as he plays the mad husband Adam Howard. Mr Oakland was usual cast a the rough or mob type character in many episodes of the 60's and 70's. In this show he was perfectly cast as the husband believing his wife is unfaithful and demands revenge. A nice offering from the last season of the series.
