This is like goodnight and goodluck if it were a western it deals with the very same issue ‘The Red Scare’.

Having initially decided to leave with his new spouse, Will decides he must go back and face Miller.

It seems Kane may have to face Miller alone, as well as the rest of Miller’s gang, who are waiting for him at the station…
