Fogg, Fix and Passepartout have made it to America and Fogg is confident that they might finish their journey in time.
Back in London Fortescue and Bellamy are preparing for the reading of Fogg's will.
However an encounter with black Marshall Bass Reeves threatens to delays them.
He is accompanying a prisoner, Ambrose Abernathy who regards himself as a southern gentleman and has a backwards views of race relations.
He also has made arrangements to be set free and take revenge on Reeves.
It is another episode where Fogg does a bit of growing up. He is repelled by Abernathy's views. Fogg is also pointed to the developing relationship between Fix and Passepartout.
The episode is far away from the book you can get. Bass Reeves was a real life lawman. The first black deputy US Marshal west of the Mississippi River. He has been previously portrayed on film and television.
There were some good scenes between Reeves and Passepartout. Even better was Fix coming to the rescue on horseback.
