!! Tropes based on this episode:
* AttemptedRape: Wilson (the episode's villain) -- already on thin ice with the Native American Paiute tribe and other traders in Nevada Territory for his underhanded ethics, involving everything from theft and embezzlement to refusing to honor trading contracts -- and his brothers beat up two of the natives and, after some sexual harassment, take their women, two Bannocks, for a little "fun." Adam comes in to stop it.
* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: Strongly implied in the opening scene with Wilson, as he gets his brothers to kidnap two Native American maidens in revenge for a trading deal gone sour.
• CycleOfRevenge: The clashes between the white men (led by the charismatic Mike Wilson) and the Paiute tribe grows more violent until tensions explose.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The whole battle could have been avoided had Wilson simply been arrested for his crimes and the situation -- there were multiple opportunities -- defused earlier. Instead, dozens of men from both the Paiute tribe and the California militia lose their lives in one of the series' most violent battles.
* PayUntoEvil: The foiled kidnapping of the Bannock maidens triggers a CycleOfRevenge that doesn't end until a very bloody, violent battle.
* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Several elements of the storyline leading up to the final battle are based on the real Paiute War of 1860, which was fought in Nevada, very close to where the fictional Ponderosa is set.
