Even though the episode started off kind of slow, it picked up at the end to make a good program. A very clever idea by the writer and well played by John Abbott.
It begins as former Shakespearean actor Edward Vanderman (Abbott), which is now down-on-his-luck, is cheating in a card game. Instead of running him out of town, Matt take a shine to the out of work actor and tries to get him a job cleaning dishes. But that last all of one day as he steals money from the place and is back at the Long Branch quoting lines from plays.
This time Matt has to place Edward in jail right beside a dangerous killer named Brad Tyler. Brad is set for trial but believes his brother will bust him out before court. Matt and Chester will have deal with two problems and possible a third if Brad's brother makes an appearance.
This was a show that had two plots going and was not sure which way the story was going to play. But in the end the entire episode comes together to make for a nice show. A very unique way for a Shakespearean actor to end a show. Nice watch.
