At this point (5-7-2024), there are two reviews of this episode. Both are excellent reviews of an excellent episode. I've seen this episode several times over the last few years and I've only recently taken to reviewing episodes I like. I'm going to get to the point of my review.
This is a VERY serious and thought provoking episode, but, the ending is hilarious. I never noticed it before, but over the last few days, I've rewatched the last few minutes at least a dozen times and finally decided to write this. It's the banker (whose money was stolen), and the buyer of the property (who got outfoxed by Paladin) that make it hilarious. When the sale is being finalized, Paladin reveals that he is due $3000 reward money from the banker which solicits a "WHAT!" from the banker. This is quickly followed by the buyer who says the reward is his since he now owns the property which holds the stolen money only to find out that the money was turned in to the sheriff that very morning. An even louder "WHAT!" from the new owner. The timing is hilarious.
