Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) recounts what happened to him to Walt (Robert Taylor) with Malachi (Graham Greene) being at the house where a woman led him there feigning bring in trouble.  Then Darius came in and beat him up, taking him out to the Crow Res and staking him there, well tying him to stakes.  As Walt enters the house and finds no sign of Malachi or Darius.  He then takes the stakes as they look like those from Knighthorse's (A Martinez) place.  Walt wants Henry to move in with him for a few days for his own protection, but he refuses.  Then strikes a bargain that if Walt doesn't go after Knighthorse he will move in with him.  They shake on it.  Since we know Walk will do anything, within the bounds of the law to get Knighthorse behind bars. Henry says Knighthorse wasn't attacked cos he has his own security.   Walt takes the stakes to Cady (Cassidy Freeman) and shows them to her, telling her they came from his property.  He just wants her to know the kind of man she works for.  Think we all know that by now.  Not a criticism but think sometimes she needs some things visually spelled out to her.

Cady takes the stake and goes to Knighthorse's property.  She then hits him with it telling him he did this to Henry.  He argues that anyone one could've got onto the grounds cos of the woodland surrounding it.  Also why use his own stakes, which is what I said.  She then goes to see Henry and tells him what she did and also about the sweat visions.  Henry thinks that Knighthorse could've appeared to her so she would help Henry and he needed her to find him, which is what Walt did.  He also says that whatever Walt does is good and when he does a bad thing, it's still good cos otherwise he would've given up and never found him alive.

As Walt heads back to town, he sees Ferg (Adam Bartlett) running to break up a fight in town.  Two treasure hunters were arguing over one of them following the other to scope out his leads.  Lewis (Max Woertendyke) doesn't admit he was following Cullen (Brendan Patrick Connor) so Walt lets Cullen go and not Lewis so that way he won't be following anyone.  Vic (Katee Sackhoff) calls about the death of a farmer, whose DB has been found on his land after being shot and killed.  The grave in  the makeshift family cemetery has been dug and Vic says that these family plots give her the creeps.  (Horror films anyone? ha).  Ferg looks inside the house and finds a box of money.  Everyone knew he kept money hidden but not exactly where.  Of course initially it could have been about last week's ep and followed on from Cowboy Bill robbing banks, but this ep was about that darned treasure hunting with the poems for clues, which had all the treasure seekers out in droves.  Hence the title of this episode, Fever as in gold!!

As Ferg counts the money, a man comes in reporting his missing brother, Adam and how they  ere searching for treasure and he's gone missing now.  He left his phone behind and he never does that.  Walt accompanies Jay (Brian Stepanek) to the common camping ground where other treasure seekers also hang out and shows his photo around.  It's the same place where Lewis ends up.  No one's seen him and Walt gets a call from Vic on Jay's phone.  She tells him she found the old man's will and the sole beneficiary was Cody (Duke Davis Roberts) who they find and he tells them his mother, Rena, married him.  But he didn't like him, he wanted them to change their ways and converted his mother into going to church and stop being  Cheyenne.  Cody was at work and has bought a brand new truck, as well as working at the casino.  He hated him cos he threw him out after he dropped out of school.  Cody claims not to have seen him for up to eleven years ago, but then his mother's funeral was only seven months ago.  He didn't even want him to bury her his way, but buried her next to his dog, Jake.

At the camping ground Walt meets Lucien (Peter Weller) who shows Walt the treasure map and where they're all searching.  He then turns up at the office asking Walt why he's spending so much money on a lawyer when he can just settle.  As Walt explains he tried to do that his offer wasn't accepted.  Ferg also finds that Adam's credit card was used and later finds it was used by his wife, (Jackie (Molly Hawkey).  She tells him they didn't get a divorce and are separated and she couldn't get another credit cad so they use the same one.  She had to repair the toilet and needed supplies.  Also telling Walt about how he'd go missing for days and how that treasure hunting broke up their marriage.  Which was another clue about him going away for days on end.

Walt drums up help from the rest of the treasure hunters to find Adam and they help.  Ferg finds his DB over the edge of the cliff and Jay fights with Lewis over him being the one who killed him. They're arrested and locked up, as is Cody.  When Lewis is released, he gets his belongings and says the other phone isn't his.  He found it near the site where Adam's body was found and he can't unencrypt it.  Thus Jay's story was a lie as he said he left his phone behind. He couldn't even get that right!  Nice touch with The Treasure of the Sierre Madre poster, the film with Humphrey Bogart where the hunt for treasure led to murder and bloodshed.  See these things don't end well, as if that wasn't a big enough clue for Walt if he hadn't figured it out already that Jay was behind the killing.

When Walt gets home he finds Knighthorse sitting on his porch and thinks something's happened to Henry.  In which case why would Knighthorse still be around.  Knighthorse tells him about Cady and how she struck him but he didn't kidnap Henry.  He's also in trouble and needs his help.  He turns over Malachi's ledgers to Walt so he can hand them over to the FBI in a bid to find Malachi.  Henry says he is also in trouble too and also fears for his life  Walt obviously goad Cady into confronting Knighthorse cos he couldn't do it himself and she tells Henry what I said last ep about her not thinking before she acts.  She blames herself for Henry's predicament as she was the one who got Darius released.

Elsewhere Vic leaves before her ultrasound for the investigation and Travis (Derek Phillips) makes stupid remarks about her age!!  He then shows up in Walt's office and hands him a box.  "Marry me, Walt!"  ha.  He tells him that she's pregnant and if he doesn't want to marry her cos he thinks she loves him, then he will.  Nah you just don't do something like that, it wasn't his secret to divulge.  What makes him think Vic will even contemplate marriage to either one of them and especially after last season where she kissed Walt and he knew how she felt about him.  Obviously he doesn't feel the same way and it's not his baby, though that wouldn't make a difference, marrying won't make things right.  This isn't the dark ages you know and single mothers do exist! Well that put Walt in a right pickle!!  No cravings intended! ha.

Oh and here's a bit more uncanny stuff on my part when the credits were on screen, I said probably someone from the cast will direct this ep or a future one and lo and behold Lou's name came up!!  Couldn't believe that!!
