It appears that this time Agatha's match isn't going to work. Ethan and Claire can't seem to find any common ground at all. They decide to end the marriage while they still are able. The town lawyer is out of the state due to a death in the family. Ethan and Claire need to travel to Hays and consult an attorney there. Hays is a 5-day journey on horseback.

Traveling to Hays is in the rough. They have to camp out and find their own food and watch for danger. It seems they can't wait to get there and start the proceedings. However, a snake bite, a handsome stranger, and God all work together to complicate things... or do they?
