The actors who play the Seven, or at least the production staff, ignore W.C. Field's advice and the actors end up upstaged by Alexa PenaVega, who plays the precocious daughter of a female safecracker who Mary brings to Four Corners as part of a parole program. The safecracker, Terry, wants to reform but the villainous Coltrane (Jeff Kober) wants to recruit Terry for a job breaking into an impenetrable safe. Which just so happens to be located in Four Corners, that the Seven are protecting.
Coltrane is a former sheriff, although that doesn't seem to have any bearing on the story. He's just a villainous as if he hadn't been a retired sheriff. He also says that Chris looks familiar as Chris infiltrates his gang, but that doesn't go anywhere, either. Basically the story gives PenaVega a chance to outshine everyone. She gets more screentime than her mother, can beat Ezra at poker, and pickpockets Buck. Watching PenaVega and Midkiff-as-Buck try to overact each other in their scenes together are the highlights of the episode.
The rest of the episode is pretty much an old-fashioned Western shoot-up, with Terry as a female criminal trying to go good, as opposed to the typical Western that features a male criminal trying to reform. Vin and Nathan don't have much to do, J.D. gets a knife in the shoulder but shrugs it off in a few minutes. Ron Perlman, as Josiah, gets a bit of a character telling Olivia about Hindu mythology (??), and that's it.
Jeff Kober makes an effective villain, as he usually does in similar roles. Chris guns him down, and that's the end of Coltrane. So don't go in expecting Kober to come back.
At the end of the episode, Terry and Olivia leave for another town and we never see them again. Which is probably for the best: a little bit of PenaVega goes a long way. Still, I would have liked to see her stick around and interact with Buck, Ezra, and Josiah. But it's probably for the best that her character never showed up again.
But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. What do you think?
