Answer: Murder them both in their sleep

Al Swearengen rejects E.B.'s murderous suggestion as "unnecessary bloodshed" could bring in federal regulators.

2. Riders noisily return to Deadwood with smallpox vaccine and news of a new treaty with the Indians. What two chiefs have agreed to lead their tribes back to the agency?

5. Who cleans the blood of Dan Dority's murder victim off the floor of the Gem Saloon?

Al was displeased with the inability of Jewell, his cleaning woman, to remove the stain, and did it himself. He often refers to the physically disable woman as "the cripple" or "the gimp".

6. Who do Swearengen and Bullock agree upon to assay the widow's claim?

Answer: Ellsworth

As they approached the claim, Ellsworth, who had witnessed Dority murder Brom Garrett, asked Dority for a bullet behind the ear instead of a cut throat. Ellsworth was relieved to hear that he was off the hook, and was really there to assay the claim.

Still somewhat traumatized by witnessing the massacre of her family by road agents, the pretty little girl is slowly learning English and communicating with her caretakers.

9. What happens to Miles and Flora?

Answer: Beaten, shot in the head and fed to the hogs

When confronted by Tolliver after stealing Joanie's jewelry, Flora curses him and he slaps her in the face. Poor Flora then stabs Cy in the leg, causing her and her brother to eventually become "midnight vittles for Wu's pigs".

Answer: Pulls back the covers on her side of the bed

Even the ruthless and murderous Al Swearengen has a soft spot.
