There really is not much to this episode other than what the plot describes. Micah and Lucas are escorting a prisoner named Stanley across a barren desert outside Santa Fe. They are about to enter an area that is know by all as a dangerous patch of earth.
Just as they begin Stanley frightens the horses away leaving the three to walk over one hundred miles to the nearest city. Stanley then tells everyone that they will die and he will still be last one standing. He is so obnoxious that I cannot understand why Lucas did not give him a backhand to the face. But that did not happen so we continue through the desert with the heat beginning to effect Micah. But there is hope, Stanley has a trade for Lucas to save Micah's life but there are no guarantees that Stanley is telling the truth.
A rather simple plot with predictable results. The best thing about the episode is the way Paul Fix believes he knows the outcome of the heat and tells Lucas to ride on. That scene was very well done by both actors. It was good enough to make for a nice watch.
