Too predictable.
kfo94943 December 2013
When Luke appears to have taken up gambling Mark is visibly upset. But then we learn that Luke is helping an old friend, that has been lost his farm in a game, prove that the fancy man is cheating.

Luke will have to play a fast cash gambler in a game ran by John Keeler and his sidekick a bouncy female named Rose. He has just one more chance to prove the card game is rigged or his friend, Jesse Phillips, is set to lose his farm and his wife.

A very predictable episode that provided little interest in the story. For some reason, this episode seemed almost dull to some of the others in the season. Nothing new to see in the episode.

Mixed moral message

Warning: Spoilers
So Lucas exposes a cheating professional poker player ... and gets a wife to forgive her husband for lying to her about playing cards AND for almost losing their ranch. It's OK because he was cheated! Who cares that he broke his promise to his wife that he'd never gamble again?

Yes, it was a public service to run the cheating cardsharp out of town, but why was our hero so willing to help a friend lie to his wife?
