However, when two brutal bounty hunters show up looking for the outlaw, Shenandoah suspects the old man is lying.

While working as the trail boss of a cattle drive, Shenandoah befriends the not so bright cow hand, Will Turner, who obsessively puts his wife up on a pedestal.

While traveling through a town, Shenandoah meets a man (Elisha Cook Jr.) who recognizes him. He was holding a saddle that he claims Shenandoah had brought in to have fixed over a year ago.

Her ranch hands (DeForest Kelley and Warren Stevens) decide they need to stop him from making any claims.

This time Shenandoah is in search of Sam Waters, the man for whom the locket from episode 10 was made. Instead he finds his frightened daughter and a U.S. Marshall (Pat Hingle), who is also looking for Waters.

Following up on a lead from yet another photograph from his time in the army, Shenandoah is told that his name is Timothy O'Rourke. Apparently, he is the long lost son of wealthy cattleman Andrew O'Rourke (veteran character actor Jay C. Flippen). The two had a major falling out, and now the dying father wants to see his son one more time. Shenandoah also meets his sister Paula (Juliet Mills). It's almost just all too good to be true.
