As Walt (Robert Taylor) rushes Vic (Katee Sackhoff) to hospital after the shoot out with Chance, he tells her things and makes sure she doesn't lose consciousness.  However she dreams of a little girl running in the woods as she hazes in and out.  Walt also brings up Gilbert and Sullivan and recites some to her.  As they arrive at the hospital, he tells the doctor she's pregnant.  Walt refuses to leave her side and sits by her bedside holding her hand.  A bit of a repeat of Vic last season doing the same for Walt after he had been shot.  However she had ulterior motives in her feelings for him and here Walt's just concerned about her as his deputy and friend.  Ferg (Adam Bartley) drops by with food for Walt and will heat it up for him.  But Walt tells him to leave it.  The Marshalls want their guns for ballistic purposes and also want statements.  Meg (Mary Wiseman) wants to speak with Ferg.

She tells him about her mother, Beverley (Marylouise Burke) at the casino and she stole their chips, well Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) says he locked her in the car that's up as a prize.  She refuses to return the chips saying they're her winnings.  Ferg talks to her and she refuses to give them back, being very derogative towards the Native Americans.  Meg writes a cheque so they can take her home and she must return all the chips as Ferg made that deal with them.  However she suffers from "chemo brain" as Meg puts it and has hidden some of the chips.  She tells Ferg about wanting to go to Paris when she was little and how Beverley sewed costumes for her.  Also taking her hunting with her grandfather's rifle, not wanting Meg to miss out on anything.  She didn't want him to know in case he wouldn't want to see her anymore.  Beverley calling Ferg a cross between Cary Grant and Raymond Burr, also calling him Dreamboat.  Cary's name for Claude Reins in Notorious!  ha.  Personally didn't see the Cary resemblance!  Not being horrible or anything!

Travis (Derek Phillips) gets drunk at the Red Pony and Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) needs a ride to Cheyenne to make his statement to the FBI about Malachi.  He doesn't sell bottles and Travis says he would if he had a gun and badge like he does for Walt.  Henry takes Vic's keys from him.  Then Henry rides to Cheyenne with Knighthorse (A Martinez) who blames himself for Henry getting involved in his beef was with Malachi.  He had a choice of banishing him or killing him.  But Henry says he had a third choice, to do what he's doing now and report him.

Walt still goes around with his blooded shirt and the press hound him at the station.  The Marshalls say that they're a bit of a hero as they got Chance for them. They take the guns, Walt says he doesn't want to give a statement to the press as Chance's "nuts" may go after Vic.  He wants them to let the "nuts" think Walt shot him and not her.  He drives to the compound and sees the news on the telly which he destroys with a baseball bat and rips Vic's photos from the wall.  The compound is empty.  he wants Ferg to check the family's social media and see if there's anything about revenge against Vic.  However he's sidetracked with Meg's mother, who's now gone missing and taken the gun with her.  They think she'll head to the casino, but instead find she's trying to pawn it off to pay for her cheque.  Though she could only get $1200 for it and not more.  At the pawn shop, they find Beverley driving up with Jamie (Bob Clendenin) who's now working as a taxi driver and he doesn't get his fare back either.

Vic wants the hospital to deal with the baby and she doesn't know how to react or feel about losing it. But she talks with Doctor Sanders (Nikki Dixon) who tells her they didn't know what the sex was.  She asks for her pre-natal file and they were able to determine the blood type.  She lost the baby since she suffered too much blood loss so they had to save her since the foetus was non-viable at this stage.  As Walt tells Vic earlier, the baby saved her life.  She discharges herself when Walt turns up and he takes her to the RV.  Where he speaks with Mega (Robert Baker) and also a man drives by.  I said he should just drive that to his place and that's exactly what he did!  Great minds with the writer ha!  She hides her file and he he's left a note for her to take the pills.  After she wakes up hearing the horses.  He's made her breakfast but he has to go.

At the station. Walt finds Travis going through the files and he wonders if Eamon was the father, looking through the files for him under 'A' and not 'E'.  He wants to know who the father was and again asks if it was Walt, who doesn't really tell him it's not him.  He didn't get chance to visit her.  In the RV, Vic finds the swab she used for Travis after she punched him and takes it to be examined for blood type.  Mega tells Walt about the package and thinks it's a bomb.  He gets Mega to takes pics of it and then Walt shoots at it but it turns out to be a child's toy barn.  Walt fixes the bullet wound with glue and a sharpie lid melted. 

Henry and Knighthore are attacked on the way back and are run off the road by someone dressed as Hector, as Henry tells Mathias.  Who tells him they both know it's not Hector.  So he got some man to dress up as him.  Malachi wrote 'Hector Lives' with rocks, so he could've got someone to dress like him.  Vic tells Walt she doesn't know her baby and she knows she was a girl.  As her dreams shows her running towards her and then the little girl vanishes.  She got the blood tests as she thought she could learn something more if she knew who the father is.  But as usual we'll have to wait for that since she doesn't want to look.  Fancy asking Walt if he looked at the results, as if he would.  Kinda an ep tying up loose ends in a way and just adding a bit of a tacked on case for Ferg to work on which was essentially personal for him too.
