8. Derailed

Complete story — includes the ending

Lily goes back with Durant on the railroad as a business partner, while he expects more. They come over a train derailed by the Cheyenne. Durant orders Cullen to lead a team to track them, thus openly disapproving the Swede's attitude in the previous events. While Ruth and Joseph grow closer, Rev. Cole seems to lose faith and seek vengeance, until he becomes ill, horrified by the deaths. Ruth confronts him for his drinking while she was a child. Lily moves out of Durant's coach and into her own tent beside the brothel, which allows her to become fast friends with Eva. Unhelped by a bitter Durant, she builds her home working with her hands. Elam and Joseph accompany Cullen and soldiers in chasing the Indian warriors. Tension mounts for Cullen's team in the pursuit of the renegade Indian tribe, more after they lose their horses and go on foot. The Swede comes up with info about Cullen's criminal acts, but Durant rebukes them, because he wants Cullen to fight his war. Durant does not give up on winning back Lily.
