* HeelRealization and MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When Marshal Dowd sees Adam beating up his prisoner, he comes out and stops him from continuing the punishment, threatening to shoot him if he continues. Dowd then admits: "For almost a year now I've lived for nothing else. But you just made me realize what I was turning into."
* HeroAntagonist: As the episode progresses, it becomes clearer the brutal, ill-tempered Marshal Dowd isn't naturally this way, but it isn't until the final scene when it becomes fully clear to viewers: He was a good lawman, perhaps a little too focused on his job but still one working for justice. Then, when the man he wants in custody kills his wife during a shootout, he becomes an embittered, brutal thug, determined to kill Walker before he can be brought before a jury in San Francisco. Adam and Hoss realize this only after Walker shows his true colors.
