I'm typically not so good in translation but I'll try; most of the cast has returned but mysteriously Woo was gone (no explanation but he was mentioned several times)...Public elections are coming! In an attempt to figure out where Seth Bullock is as far as how he enforces law, George Hearst immediately flexed his muscles by setting up a killing in Swearingen's Gem...
Swearing tips off Bullock as to what he thinks Hearst is up to and advises him to use cautioun during a one on one requested by the rich man. During that discussion, Hearst lets it slip that he knows of Bullocks affair with Alma Garrett resulting in child leading to her marriage to Ellsworth..as Bullock leaves the hotel (which as you remember that Hearst now owns as he bought it last season from E.B. Farnum) the Sheriff sees Farnum behind the counter and immediately whails on his ass beating him severely until he is stopped by Swearingen...
Hearst witnesses the beating and the sight of Bullock being told to stop by Swearingen leads Hearst to know that Seth is in Swearingen's pocket.
Mrs. Bullock is now teaching the school and one of her loiterers is Jane, still funny and drunk. There's a new innkeeper named Shaunessey...kinda strange set-up as it seems he's charging day rates to the locals but I;m not sure who he's aligned with...
Alma Garrett, pregnant with Bullock's child, passes out and is discovered by Ellsworth; all seems fine according to the doc but who knows...what is known is that Alma is bossing Ellsworth around like a little boy and he doesn't seem to appreciate it...he moved furniture around, walks Sophia to school...
At the end of last season, you'll recall that Sy Tolliver was knifed by Andy (the new preacher)...Sy is still on his death bed, still leaking blood from his wounds and oddly enough being attended to by
Joanie Stubbs; seems that since her whore house is no longer running, that she's back and forth to the Bella Union and running the girls...
Lastly, it appears that Hearst is one again setting up his goons to make another killing but its up in the air as to the new target...
Where is Woo?????
