Synopsis

Ben dispatched Hoss and Joe to Monterey with the task of acquiring a prized breeding bull. This marked the beginning of what would become numerous humorous escapades for Blocker and Landon, though the seemingly effortless resort to violence—as seen in their rapier duel—felt somewhat out of step with the show’s usual tone. The episode also held a quiet surprise: Hoss revealed his given name, Eric, for the very first time.
