Even as the stagecoach carries Martha and her son William to Deadwood and a reunion with her new husband, Seth Bullock is involved in a very passionate embrace with Alma Garret in her hotel room. By the time the stage actually pulls into town, Martha’s husband is in a life and death battle with Al Swearengen, who has humiliated Bullock publicly over his affair with the widow Garret. Although startled by the unexpected circumstances of her arrival, she appears to take it all in with supreme dignity.
