Kind of a weird one where it seems to me it doesn't know what it is about.
It starts off with horse thieves, then it appears that Stolder is an alcoholic and Rachel is reluctant to be near him. You wonder if Rachel had an alcoholic boyfriend or something in the past. Then it turns out Rachel was the alcoholic. Then she and Stolder get drunk. It appears they sleep together. Or Stolder took advantage. Or she was raped by him, especially given her bath in the tub. But then it turns out, according to him, nothing happened. It feels like a scene is missing or something. Throughout all this, there are romantic vibes between the two. He turns out to be not a great influence on Jesse. He reacts violently when drunk. Then he saves the day. After shooting Jesse that is.
See what I mean? It doesn't know what it is. Is it an alcoholic story? Is it a rape story? Is it a romance story?
The was some fun stuff like with the gang trying to break in a colt. This would be a skip-it episode if I were to do another rewatch. It's not awful, but not great. 5/10.
