Eagar for the latest news from Yankton, Al enlists Farnum to keep tabs on Blazanov and his telegrams, and admonishes Merrick for over-hyping the Montana rumours in his paper.

Bullock's proposal carries the day during a meeting held at the Gem to discuss the Hearst conundrum; Aunt Lou fears for Odell's well-being after his latest gambit.

Al's shrewd manipulation of the rumour mill pays off in a Yankton counter-offer that requires only slight amending. Meanwhile, George Hearst's arrival in Deadwood has shaken up the camp's status quo from Wu to Farnum to Wolcott.

Merrick and Blazanov deliver the day's edition of "The Pioneer" around camp. A stagecoach arrives accompanied by the sound of gunfire as two strangers come into town, unsettling the Sheriff and Swearengen, who wonder if they're Hearst's men.

With the Sheriff out of camp, Alma is assailed by Hearst's men and as she never would have expected, shelter comes from Swearengen. Barrett is sent to the Gem, but Swearengen resorts to old fashion methods of inquiring to his employers plans.

Raylan makes his way to California, hot in pursuit of criminal Roland Pike who has managed to escape Raylan twice before.
