"A man's ways please the Lord when he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him".

Trust is put to the test in "Reconnoitering the Rim". The third episode of "Deadwood" features some intrusions into the macrocosm of the camp: the Bella Union opens up shop across the way from The Gem and Wild Bill is hounded by those who wish him ill will. As the characters of the town circle each other, they begin to size one another up and are forced to make decisions about how to move forward. When threats appear, can you survive by simply burning it all down?

In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay discuss "Reconnoitering the Rim" and that's three in a row for us, Wild Bill. Plus! The guys chat about the Bella Union versus The Gem, the curse of celebrity, and the character who is most out of sync with the settlement.
