Jessica is in Wyoming for the funeral of Jack Carver. It is clearly understood that Jack had left his estate to daughter Mary, but it turns out Jack hadn't left a will. That is until Carl and Sally turn up in their motor home, together with a will saying the estate is Carl's. Carl's excuse being he'd saved Jack's life. The next day a body is found hanged in the barn.
Series one's finale is a bit unusual in fairness, I wonder if a different episode would have perhaps been a better choice, it's a pretty decent story, light hearted throughout, until the very grim ending, the darkest conclusion to come from Series 1. It's quite cohesive I guess, I just find it a little tacky somehow, it just doesn't have the quality of some of the classy episodes in this early era. It's solid enough though, well acted, although I could never get used to William Windom being Sam. Silent Running's Cliff Potts looks the part as the Marshall, but that character is dimmer then most of the other sheriffs put together. 7/10
