Featured review
The apple does not fall far from the tree
Usually, the morals of such stories of unfit newcomers with difficulties to adjust to a rough, unknown environment is "you can become whatever you decide, it's just a question of willpower", see for example episode The Englishman with a slightly similar theme.
Surprisingly not here - on the contrary. Prodded by his domineering wife, Henry Prince has been led to believe that in order to adjust to his new life as a rancher and to resist local tough guys trying to dispossess him, he must himself become a tough guy, Paladin-like. Skeptical from the start, Paladin quickly gives up and shows him there are other ways, so as not to try to go uselessly against his own nature, refined, peaceful and unable to become otherwise.
The solution to the problem - which Paladin uses as well in another episode, Birds of a Feather - might not be the most elegant or brilliant, but it works. And more important it will enable Prince to continue his life the only way he is able to (and, important as well, to survive). The simple lesson in this case being, "be true to yourself, not to what others tell you you should be".
Others being in that circumstance the slightly unpleasant but interesting character of Prince's wife - whom Paladin, in one of his seemingly uncountable previous lives, has been admiring long years ago on the Boston theatrical stages.
Fairly strong dialogues and acting, as noted by the review above.
