!!This fanfic contains examples of:
* AdaptationalExpansion: The story expands the backgorund behind [=MacGregor=]'s hatred of Indians: Dr Baker tells Charles how, during the Dakota War of 1862, [=MacGregor=]'s older sons were killed in combat and his daughter was gang-raped by Dakota warriors, fueling his boiling hatred of all Native-Americans and anyone who dares to support them.
* ConnectedAllAlong: By pure coincidence, Little Crow (the son of the Chief at the group Charles and Dr. Baker helped escape [=MacGregor=]'s posse) commanded the Dakota warriors involved in the battle in which [=MacGregor=]'s children were killed. Ironically, [=MacGregor=] didn't know about that and yet still hated that group of Indians as much as if they had no involvement in it.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Although Dr. Baker explains the reason behind [=MacGregor=]'s hatred of Indians, he still reassures it doesn't justify his actions, especially against helpless Indians who had nothing to do with his ordeals.
* IHaveYourWife: [[spoiler:[=MacGregor=] kidnaps Laura and forces Charles to come and confront him alone]].
* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: In one of [=MacGregor=]'s actions against the Ingalls family, he spreads a rumour about the daughter of Little Crow, to whom Laura gave her doll, was Charles's daughter he sired with the girl's late mother. [=MacGregor=]'s son Rob taunts Laura and Mary with the rumour and it results in a fight between him and Laura.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: After being rescued by Charles from being dragged by the running waters, and then helping rescue him when Charles loses his balance and Dr. Baker tries to pull him back but isn't strong enough, [=MacGregor=] breaks down in a HeelRealization of what his hatred had caused and the actions he'd taken as of that point]].
* SaveTheVillain: During the climax, [[spoiler:[=MacGregor=] falls on the running water trying to catch Laura, whom he'd kidnapped]], Charles is given the option to let him be dragged by the waters or try to save [[spoiler:the man who'd beaten to an inch of his life, slandered against him and kidnapped his daughter]]. He chooses to save him.
