Billy's new direction in life didn't last all that long.
His moving over to the side of right didn't prevent tragedy from striking on Billy the Kid Season 2 Episode 3.
And Billy's extreme sense of righteousness was sure to take him the rest of the way back to the wrong side of the law.
The problematic part about basing a TV series on historical events is that any viewer with Google can essentially predict the narrative.
Also, there was a reason that William Bonney never became Billy the Conflicted Middle-Aged Adult. This is a show with a historically built-in expiration date, unlike one built around a fictional character.
That's a shame because Tom Blyth's Billy is an enjoyably complex character who viewers got to watch grow up over the series' first season.
One thing Billy has been missing since his mother Kathleen's death from consumption on Billy the Kid Season...

The metamorphosis of Billy the Kid continued in this season finale.
On Billy the Kid Season 1 Episode 8, the former Billy McCarty made the fateful choice that moved him from outlaw to legend.
Whether he is becoming a hero depends on the viewer's perspective.
So what separated Billy from the others he had been riding with in the 7 RIvers Gang? His life experience.
Thanks to his sainted mother, Kathleen, Billy grew up a good religious boy who values the importance of hard work.
He also grew up a member of the hardscrabble poor, worrying about where his next meal would come from.
Hardscrabble poor, just like those immigrant farmers trying to scratch a living out of the New Mexican soil. Billy could relate to their struggle and was sympathetic toward them, unlike the other, more mercenary gang members.
Recently, Billy had reluctantly accepted the outlaw label society had applied to him...
