* SuicideByCop: In "The Book," Rowdy is roped into a duel with an aging gunfighter, but Wishbone manages to get him out of it, prompting the gunfighter to ask, "Why weren't you around twenty-four years ago?" The man who set up the fight convinces another drover, Ernie Torres, to take Rowdy's place. Rowdy and Wishbone try to convince Ernie not to go because they're certain he'll be killed. [[spoiler:He goes anyway, and to their shock, wins the duel. Later on everyone talks about how it seemed like the gunfighter didn't even try to draw, making it clear he had decided to die.]]
* TakeAThirdOption: In "The Book," Rowdy is manipulated into participating in a gunfight that he is sure to lose. Wishbone despairs of talking him out of it, even though Rowdy doesn't even want to go through with it, because Rowdy doesn't like taking orders from anyone besides Favor and also doesn't want to look like a coward. But if he does go through with it, he'll most likely be killed. [[spoiler:Just as Rowdy's about to go out to the street, Wishbone breaks a bottle over his head, leaving him in no condition to fight. Rowdy's not even angry about it, since it gave him an honorable way out.]]

In "Incident of the Odyssey," a number of them, including Rowdy, nearly quit because of Favor's unwillingness to explain what they saw as unreasonable demands.
