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.

As a convalescing Al bridles, Cochran schools Burns and Dority how best to assist his recovery. Unexpected profits at the Chez Ami lead Tolliver to an unexpected discovery about Wolcott.

Alma proposes forming a bank, and looks to familiar faces to run it. To test himself, Al grants audience to a long line of supplicants; talks with Farnum and Miss Isringhausen prove illuminating. The next phase in Tolliver and Wolcott's arrangement begins.
