Episode 7
Bullock Returns to the Camp
"Oh, do you worry for her, Dan? Wandering the muck of our thoroughfare, her tiny self all but swallowed up in horseshit?"
The title says it all. Bullock and Charlie Utter return to Deadwood having avenged the murder of Wild Bill Hickok. They find themselves returning to a settlement that has moved beyond the practicalities of business and is beginning to explore the intrapersonal. Alma and Trixie come to an understanding. Farnum tries to press Alma on her gold claim, but his timing continues to be his downfall. And two siblings, Miles and Flora, arrive at the camp in search of their missing father.
In this episode of the podcast, Wes and Clay discuss "Bullock Returns to the Camp" and how a verbose show like Deadwood manages to also create clarity in a few words. Plus! The guys chat about putting the whiskey away, balancing the sweet and the sour, and the sexual power dynamics of the camp.
