Complete story — includes the ending

The bank opens, while Langrishe buys the Chez Amis, now a schoolhouse, from Joanie on the condition that he build a new one in its stead. Dan and Turner begin antagonizing each other. Hostetler and Fields return to town with the horse that killed William, and Bullock accepts the former's repentance. Having taken over the livery, Steve is livid that they intend to take it back and refuses Hostetler's offer to hire him full time. Planning to leave town anyway, he agrees to sell it to Steve, who refuses to sign the agreement first. Hearst tries to hire Al, but he refuses until he sets a proper figure and establishes Adams as his go-between.
