Just in time for the end of spooky season, we’re watching Season 1, Episode 31, “Dark Star”! While hunting a wolf, Little Joe and Hoss stumble upon a young gypsy girl named Tirza. The Cartwrights soon learn she’s been rejected by her people for being born under the “dark star” and is suspected of witchcraft.

This unusual Bonanza episode features dramatic gypsy meltdowns, an exorcism of sorts, a subplot involving a stolen pig, and yes, another love story for Little Joe. Join to unpack one of Bonanza’s strangest stories yet.
