Missy and Lesley are back to discuss "Lady for a Night," the episode where Lou decides to have a night on the town and runs into the charming but dangerous Tyler Dewitt.

In this latest installment of "Back to the Bunkhouse," hosts Lesley and Missy discuss "Hard Time," the TYR episode where Kid is forced to do some hard time (get it?) in a not-so-secret location after he attempts to help a woman in the ironically-named town of Prosperity. Not only do the twins analyze the merits and mysteries of the episode, but they also debut the first annual game of "Guess the New Year's Resolution: The Young Riders Edition." Grab your leftover eggnog and chase away the post-holiday blues with games, gab, and grading (of "Hard Time"- not unrelated student essays!).
