Jelly much, Todd?
3 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I think what bothered me most was there was no comeuppance for Todd. I mean, he may have been influenced by his future dad-in-law, Len Keith. Yes, Keith did lie to Todd, but only around the second half about the plague and his man getting shot. But before that, Todd was all in for his hatred against the Cartwrights. Despite growing up as neighbours and his father having friendly business agreements with them. When does Todd take responsibility for his own behaviour and actions?

Todd was badmouthing Ben and the Cartwrights to anyone who would listen-then led a posse to a dangerous confrontation with Ben and the gang. After everything is sorted out, Todd doesn't even apologize to the Cartwrights nor his fiance for his behaviour. Everything ends all peachy keen.

I kind of wish his fiance had dumped him. I mean if he acted like that, how would he be after getting married? Especially since he is so gullible.

Otherwise, the episode is decent enough. 6/10.
