Grace makes that night a meal for Jake and forsakes her decision not to feed the outlaw.
  • Priscilla is introduced to Teddy and she accepts him as a playmate rather quickly.
  • Grace's friendly first conversation with Chuck.
  • Grace's act of saving Mrs. Bigby and her baby from a conflagration helps Mud's townsfolk to pipe down their prejudices and Jake's respect for her to improve.
