Doc Cochrane offers Seth and Martha Bullock little hope that William, who was trampled by a runaway horse, has any chance of surviving. As they sit by his bedside talking to him and awaiting the inevitable, a pall descends over the entire camp. Charlie Utter, fed up with the dead and the dying, has already left camp and Tom Nuttall, who had spent a good part of the day with the boy who was fascinated with the new bicycle, now can't stand the sight of it. In the midst of it all, a new preacher arrives in Deadwood. Meanwhile, Cy Tolliver has sent the still breathing Mose Manuel to Joanie Stubbs' bordello where Doc Cochrane will try to operate on him. Al Swearengen gets a visit from the Commissioner who is trying to find out more about the information in the Deadwood Reporter. Things seem to be going Al's way.
