Looking over his shoulder at Hearst, Al assures him that Alma is fine and that this is not out of the ordinary – and Hearst himself is perfectly safe.Īl sits a gasping Alma in a chair inside the Gem and barks more orders: Charlie is to send a telegram to Bullock (who is off campaigning outside of camp?) asking him to return at once, but to use generalities otherwise “that maniac will come back shootin’.” Johnny shows Charlie the back way to the telegraph office. stroll out onto the boardwalk to take in the excitement. He tells him to send Trixie to the Gem too. Both Charlie and Al rush to her aid, scooping her up and into safety at the Gem, telling her to “keep her fuckin’ head down.” Al orders Adams to stand guard at the schoolhouse in case someone tries for Sophia.
Meanwhile, Alma Garrett-Ellsworth is walking down the thoroughfare to open the bank for the day when suddenly she is shot at! One bullet hits in front of her and another hits the wall behind her.
Who cares? Aunt Lou serves a meal to Hearst and Jarry Hearst tells her he’ll let her know when the freight office has received Odell’s remains. Also, the other two women in the theater company don’t like the new hire much either. Again, why are we wasting time with these actors with only two episodes left after this one? As it turns out, this other woman, Mary (Langrishe’s lover? another member of the theater troupe?) whom we’ve seen occasionally around camp, does not like that he’s hired this new girl and she decides to leave camp, upsetting Langrishe. Jack Langrishe swings by Shaunessey’s boarding house looking for the woman who danced like a gypsy at his Amateur Night. Cy says he was examining himself for pus Doc calls bullshit and I think it happened when he was intimidating Joanie Stubbs the other night. Doc is tending to a petulant Cy, pissed off because Cy broke open his wound again when it was healing.
