Well, I guess I'm going to be the T in the punchbowl here. Whereas the episode was probably "right" for the times, there is so much wrong from an analytical standpoint. The plop has already been described, so I'll just get on with a different POV. First, Callie traveled at Henry's expense as a "mail order bride", but Callie determines that she's more interested in the neighbor Rud, so she goes to Rud instead of staying with Henry. Henry gets PO'd and hires Paladin to help him get Callie or his money back. Paladin should have never taken the job, but he does. At Rud's joint, Paladin points out that Rud should refund Henry's money, which Rud does. Huh??? If anyone should refund Henry's money, it's Callie, OR more appropriately, the mail order bride company that Henry sent his money to. So, then there's all manner of Jiving goes on, and Callie finally decides to go back to Henry. In the mean time, Jud gets beat up and left unconscious on the floor without getting a refund. Paladin then gives Jud's refund money to Callie.??? Callie has NO claim on the money This episode was very brassiere.
