Warning: Spoilers
This episode starts out with Chester in a great clown act with a mop and bucket. In reality, not many people would use them, outside of "Swampin' Out" the better taverns. They would, no doubt, sweep up/out the dust. Great observation by another reviewer about Matt's safety with his Colt. Kitty's outraged by bad guy's behavior is nice to see. And Doc's observation that Matt shooting Speegel dead was good because "a jury wouldn't convict him" was spot on with the general attitude of the day. We also gotta face the fact that Matt goaded him into the draw.

Kitty didn't give Chester a free drink; both dead guys were still layin' right on the barroom floor in front of them, and Matt threw everyone out instead of having the dead guys taken to the undertaker's. Makes me wonder why he gave Ivy's money back when Joe needed a proper burial; with a nice stone for him and his wife. Speegal's would've been a short wood plank with his name, and "Dirt to Dirt" on it.

Who got the freighting businesses? Joe and Cam's guns, and Cam's tack and other gear went to the Marshal's office, but there was a big hole in the transport biz after these deaths. , and Matt scarin' Ivy out of town.
