James Gregory who usually played loudmouthed and obnoxious people whether good guy or bad guy dials it down quite a bit and plays a priest in this Laramie story. Arriving at Sherman station after witnessing what a Sioux war party did to a patrol of cavalry, Gregory says it's his intention to go and meet with Sitting Bull played here brilliantly at the end of the episode by Frank DeKova.
Sitting Bull was never a war chief per se, he was rather a spiritual leader of his nation. The military tactics were done by Crazy Horse as any study of Little Big Horn will tell you. It's as a spiritual leader that Father Gregory wants to meet with DeKova.
He's not getting any help though. The cavalry won't help him and gunrunners who are selling repeating Henry rifles to the Sioux want to kill him. They've even got Bill Williams who is pretending to serve as a guide in their employ.
Let's say that the rubric of 'God works in mysterious ways' gets quite a test here. You have to see what happens to Williams to know what I mean.
Laramie regulars take a back seat to Gregory in this episode.
