"Anyway, don't play that shit where you make me drag your words outta you. Declare, or shut the fuck up."

The Biblical references continue! A plague of sickness has descended upon the camp (we're still waiting on the locusts) and the tiny strands of communal interconnectedness will face an early challenge to their durability. The Reverend Smith has warned about the dangers of saying "I have no need of thee" and infectious disease will serve as a bellwether to the future chances of the camp. As some relationships are strengthened, others are weakened. And when two people fight, don't be the one to miss the layup.

In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay discuss "Plague" and the difference between Al Swearengen and Cy Tolliver. Plus! The guys chat about subtle clues around cheating, the riverboat adventures of the Bella Union, and David Milch's opinion of the Fourth Estate.
