Plot
When Julius Hoffman rides into town and engages Matthew in a poker
game, Matthew thinks he's found a great way to earn money to finish
he and Ingrid's homestead, although Mike and Sully disapprove. At
first, Matthew wins steadily, though he and Ingrid get into a
terrible fight when, after missing an elaborate dinner she cooked
for him (he was in a game), he confesses he used her hard-earned
laundry money, which she gave him for building supplies, as a stake.
Though Ingrid and Mike disapprove heartily, Matthew continues
playing the game, even after he gets beaten up and robbed of his
earnings. Eventually, townsfolk become so confident in Matthew's
abilities that everyone but Mike, Sully and the Reverend back
Matthew in the big poker game. The Reverend pulls Mike aside and
confesses that he was once a gambler, knew Julius, and suspects that
the town's been set up.
As Matthew makes his way to the big game, Ingrid breaks up with him
over his poker playing. In the process, she returns the engagement
ring which Mike gave to Matthew for her. The Reverend wants Mike to
intervene, but Mike, realizing that this is one lesson Matthew must
learn for himself, refuses. Ultimately, Matthew loses the big game,
but before he does, he throws Ingrid's engagement ring into the pot.
The town's disappointment and disillusionment is palpable.
Later, in a climatic confrontation between Julius and the Reverend,
we learn that the Reverend was a gambler in his former life. Sully
and Robert E help the Reverend get Matthew's stolen money back from
Julius. Matthew donates the money to the church and, bent (and with
broken ribs from his beating) but not broken, painfully makes his
way out to his homestead, intending to carry on by himself. Mike,
Brian, Sully, Colleen and Brian join him at the site to help him. He
painfully confesses to Mike that he gambled away her engagement ring
gift. She presents it back to him with a simple, "I know." (Sully
bought it back from Julius). Mike declares that she'll always want
to protect him, and that they'll always be a family. At this, the
family sets the eagle loose and he soars majestically into the
nethers. Matthew and the family work on, and Matthew's unspoken
resolve to win Ingrid back shows plainly in his face.
Meanwhile, Brian decides to buy a caged eagle which Loren has on
display at the general store, and takes on several chores to earn
the money to do so, intending the eagle's freedom to be a surprise
for Mike. Brian tries to set the eagle free, but it scratches
pathetically in the dirt, refusing to seize the opportunity to fly
free. Brian's heartbroken and dejected that the eagle refuses to
"take the Cheyenne prayers" to the heavens, and collapses, crying,
in Mike's arms. Sully comforts Brian by telling him that the
Cheyenne believe the eagle's powers to heal are in its feathers and
that "maybe it's staying around for a reason."-
