Recap

Someone is running through the forest. Cara is in pursuit. He says if she does this, she'll go to hell. She asks what he knos about heaven, pulls the trigger and doesn't have a cartridge loaded. It's a race for surival, and Cara wins.

Elsa is the narrator.

Spencer Dutton, I think, is hunting in Africa. A lion charges, and he shoots after it's already launched in the air. His partners arrive, pushing the lion from his chest.

The lion is the one the tracked.

Elsa says her father had three children, and only one would live to see children of their own.

Jacob is looking at his herd, many of which have perished. Upon James's death, Margaret wrote to Jacob, begging for them to come and save her family. When he arrived, she was frozen in a snow drift, her two sons unable to speak. Jacob raised them as his own.

With them, Jacob created an empire, and then the empire crumbled.

Jacob and his hands ride through town, where people are standing in front of the local saloon with prohibition now signs.

Hey. It's Robert patrick. He's the sheriff. He calls Jacob Jake. They're discussing local issues.

They're all deputized now and heading toward a group of men gathered in town. They cut through the pack and into a town hall meeting. Banner Creighton is at the podium, and he's angry that his sheep were killed when they were on another man's lease.

Jacob says it could be said that his sheep killed cattle because they ate the grass the cattle needed, and they subsequently starved to death. Brennan is angry that Jacob seems to have everything, while they're left raising herds on scraps.

Jacob addresses Banner in the street. They're all suffering, but that's ranchin' for ya, Jacob says.

Jacob suggests taking herds high and banding them together. Then they take shifts protecting the herd. It's not ideal, but they're out of options.

Zane is the Rip of the day. Jack is breaking a horse, and Cara chastizes Zane for allowing him to do it a week before his wedding.

There is a school for Native Americans. A nun is teaching, and she's got a handful with Teonna Rainwater. The nun keeps slapping her hands with a stick, and when she goes too far, Teonna beats the shit out of her.

Father Renaud isn't on the nun's side. The nun calls Teonna an animal who needs it beaten out of her, and when Father Renaud sees her hands, he asks what Teonna couldn't answer. Then he asks the sister to step forward and put her hands on the desk. He asks her to recite a bible passage, and with every effort, he slaps her hands with the same type of stick that she did with Teonna. Even Teonna was crying seeing it carried out. She asks for mercy for the sister, which father finds impressive.

Father Renaud says he has compassion, but he has no mercy, and he beats Teonna silly.

The girls have to take baths at the same time, being told when to fold towels, and enter the bath, and how to rub soap into the cloth and where to wash. WTF?

After they're out of the tub, she directs them to prepare themselves for inspection. It's so incredibly degrading. Teonna is bleeding down the back of her legs. Sister says now they understand each other, right? Use that to steer clear of his office now. And before you go, wipe up the blood on the floor.

Teonna's friend worries about her, wanting her to put honey and sap on her wounds so they don't scar. No man will want to look at that. Teonna wonders if they'll live long enough to get married. Nobody writes. They're never getting out of here.

Cara is outside when a group of men ride up. She counts then as they arrive.

Jacob wants to take the cattle up soon and that means Jack's wedding has to wait a week. Jack doesn't have a handle on smooth talk.

When Jacob tells Cara about the wedding, she says she'll talk to the girl's mother. She doesn't suggest allowing Jack to tell her that her wedding isn't as important as their marriage.

It goes about as well as you'd expect. Cara arrives a little too late but works to smooth things over.

Cara tells Elizabeth about all of the things she'll experience in this life, and how incredibly free she will be because of it. Elizabeth gets dizzy when she's around Jack, and she can't breathe without him. She'll learn the life.

When Elizabeth sees Jack racing toward them, she jumps out of the moving carriage rather than wait to see him later.

Elizabeth's dad, Bob, is with Jacob when he learns that Elizabeth is likely already pregnant.

The sheep herders are moving their sheep onto Dutton's land, right through the fence. This is going to get ugly. And man, are there a lot of sheep!

Back in Nairobi, a train is pulling into the station. Spencer is on the train, asleep, dreaming of war. A the time, his leg was broken. He couldn't run, so he was left to kill or be killed using any method available.

The conductor is trying to wake Spencer, who pulls a gun on him, believing him to be the enemy.

Spencer travels the country ridding areas of man-eating creatures.

There's dinner in a tent. A woman finds it scandalous that he drinks coffee in the evening. Then he tells them why he's there, and she's fascinated.

Jacob and Jack are moving the cattle. Elizabeth is with Cara and Emma for breakfast, crying softly as it finishes.

When Jack crests the mountain after driving all the cattle to the top, he finds the sheep on the other side.

Emma and Cara are doing the ranch work and worrying about the men.

Cara writes to Spencer with news of the family. She wonders why he won't come home.

Spencer is waiting for the big cat, but he's too late. The woman was in the brush for a whiz and got killed. Damn cat has her in the tree as a meal. There are two cats, and the second just pounced on Spencer.
