Warning: Spoilers
First part of the Pilot, which you really have to watch in order to understand everything that is going to happen in the next episodes. John Cannon, his brother Buck, son Billy Blue and wife Annalee arrive in the Arizona Territory after they have traveled a thousand miles to get there. We get a good insight of the characters from the very beginning. Big John Cannon, a harsh, tough man, determined to tame the country even if it kills him, and thinks his son needs to be toughened up. Billy Blue, his sensitive son, for whom it is impossible to understand his father, full of compassion, always willing to help. Buck, John's brother, who often acts as an intervenor between John and Blue, he's a fighting, drinking man with a hard of gold. John's sensitive wife Annalee.

The bunkhouse boys are recruited in this episode as well. Sam, Joe, Pedro, Reno and Ira join the family at the ranch, where we also see Vaquero for the first time.

Action, drama, humor, everything is present in this episode. Very funny scene when Buck tries to introduce Blue to a saloon girl.
