I disagree with those who say Lee Majors didn't belong on Virginian or he gets too much screen time. Prior to Season 9 many episodes focused on actors other than Doug McClure and James Drury. The ratings improved with Majors joining the show. It wasn't in top 30 the previous season. Majors brought it back into top 20 for 1970-71 viewing season. There was no need to change name of show. Like Bonanza a good theme song should have been left alone. Stewart Granger makes a good Ranch owner even if he didn't get along with Drury off camera. Watch this episode and enjoy a classic series.

Sibling rivalry is brought to the fore when Amanda and Will Benson exchange words whilst dancing. The dancing and partying at the local hall is interrupted by Sam Donner who insists that the use of barbed wire is against local unwritten policy of letting steers free range.
When Will Benson goes outside he is set upon by Sam Donner's son and Will is injured however he refuses to give up the attacker to the law.
The Virginian offers the services of Tate to help out with fencing on the Benson ranch, while the owner goes off for a few days, and whilst her father is away 16 year old Amanda gets interested in Tate.
