what happens

Maeve approaches Sweetwater's longtime outlaw Hector Escaton with a bold proposition. William tries to convince Logan to help liberate Dolores. Teddy and the Man in Black get closer to what they're looking for. Stubbs's suspicions are aroused. Ford cautions Bernard against seeking answers to questions best left unasked.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

“This whole episode you knew Ford was in control, the way he doesn't much as flinch when Clementine has the pistol and his curious look on the face as he kept revealing stuff to Bernard was fucking extraordinary.”
