Season One, Episode Five: The Trial of Jack McCall

posted 6 years ago by DoctorFever (485)

Swearengen transforms the Gem into a courtroom as Deadwood is forced to make its own laws to try a cowardly murderer. With Calamity Jane off on a bender, Trixie is enlisted by Swearengen to help Alma with the orphaned child and to keep her pliable to his purposes. Fearing Andy's illness might threaten his business, Cy banishes him to the woods, where he is discovered by Jane.

Another spectacular episide! I would call it The turning point of the season. Everyone is on point! Special acknowledgement for Robin Weigerts Calamity Jane!!! So really shines as well. Solid 9
