Jane Wyatt was a treat seeing her in this role! I don't agree with a prior reviewer. I enjoy these episodes because it completes the cycle. Time in the beginning organizing the train and time after the train arrives at the destination! Can't have Indian attacks all the time!

Journey's End
bkoganbing10 February 2018
As season 5 ends the Wagon Train is about to reach San Francisco when John
McIntire spots a team of runaway horses with two women in a carriage, Jane
Wyatt and Nellie Burt. They are a daughter and mother team of widows. Burt's
kind of feisty, but Wyatt is real impressed with McIntire's heroism. She invites
him to dine.
This was a theme in a few Wagon Train stories, that widower Chris Hale might look for a little romance. Wyatt is certainly interested. McIntire has a rival of sorts a real drip of a San Francisco dandy in John Emery.
But the real problem is his crew Frank McGrath, Terry Wilson, and Denny Miller who know that they may have to look for other work. An interesting dilemma all around.
Wyatt and McIntire make a nice 40-50 something couple proving love can be lovelier the second time around.

Once Again, An Out of the Wagon Train Loop Episode
richard.fuller118 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Heather Mahoney (Jane Wyatt) wasn't even a passenger in the wagon train. She and her mother were in a runaway carriage and John McIntyre rode after them and stopped the horse. As soon as he and Mahoney gazed at one another, it was love at first sight.
McIntyre chose to leave the wagon train biz and went off to see Heather.
What then emerged was what became the usual formula, yet again; she has to convince him that he loves his work and she can't take him away from that.
Not a lot of depth or substance, as usual, but an interesting bit was a rival suitor's admission that he isn't the marrying kind and McIntyre is welcomed to Heather.
This was the last episode of Wagon Train on NBC, it seems, which clearly was paving the way for the show to end, with the wagon train troup disbanded.
Someone must have gotten word that the show was going to ABC, hence the final conclusion in all its glory.
