In the opening, Albrecht offers an interesting assessment of Paladin's lifestyle, likely giving a twist to the episode title ("The Knight"). Paladin responds with a Biblical reference to the meek. Paladin does interesting acrobatics, climbing up the front of a building and then jumping from the second story. One gets a hint of the surprise reveal when Frome does not shoot Albrecht in a silent scene toward the end.

A Couple of Interesting Characters, Otherwise Average
dougdoepke24 August 2011
Average episode, at best. Imperious Baron von Albrect (Novello) hires Paladin to search out killer Frome (Corry), but Paladin gets no help from townspeople, including berserk kid (Kuenstle) and his hotel-keeper mom (Inness). Meanwhile arrogant baron is offending the very people Paladin needs help from.
The snooty baron is a real acting departure for the usually meek and mild Novello. And see if you agree: Corry the gunman appears something of a James Dean look- alike. In my book, the demented kid is the entry's most interesting feature. You don't know what he'll do next. But, I really didn't like the opening hotel scene where Paladin the lady-killer is spread on much too thick. Plus the two comely ladies don't even get a cast mention. Note too how they rather awkwardly remain silent the whole time, meaning they get paid less for non-speaking roles. In fact, the whole episode looks more cheaply produced than usual.
