Former Montana marshal Seth Bullock relocates to a gold-mining camp where he and partner Sol Star look to start a hardware business.

After the fight, Al enquires about Seth's condition. Meanwhile, the Sheriff is concerned about his future with Alma, not knowing what to do now that his wife and son have arrived in camp. At the same time he is determined to return to Al, to recover his badge and gun.

Deadwood's first true elections are nearly here, with the offices of sheriff and mayor to be decided. One of Hearst's Cornish workers is killed at the Gem, leading Al Swearengen to suspect that the incident was a staged Hearst power play.

Alma's father, Otis Russell, arrives from New York to "help" with her claim; Swearengen strikes a bargain with Adams to rid him of some legal baggage.

Wolcott is confronted by Ellsworth for snooping around Alma's gold claim. Doc Cochran tells Al that his situation is critical and that they have to act, giving him the options he has to choose from.

Captain Turner tips off Swearengen with a cryptic note to another bloody incident at the Gem. Later, Hearst makes his intentions known in a more forthright way.
