This was one of the more unusual episodes of this fine series. The plot concerns a father's efforts to arrange a marriage for his daughter. However, Heather McIntosh is far more interested in talking to animals than to other people.
The groom? Hamish Browne would just as soon attend to his livestock. At any rate, he is convinced to sign the marriage contract and collect a dowry...before even meeting Heather!
What makes this particular episode unusual is that you'll see these two again in the following season's finale "The Last Circle-up", though the next time they will be played by Tom Skerritt and Karen Greene. Other than the regular crew of the wagon train, I think that was the only time any of the passengers carried over from one season to the next!
