And that's Cullen's predicament, isn't it? He leaves Durant and the Union Pacific, determined to find his wife and son and have a life with them. But, as the episode concludes, events have conspired to put Cullen back on the railroad, working now for Durant's competitor, from the other side, as a great version of Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" - with the Band - plays significantly to roll out the season.
As for what happened in between this superb beginning and ending of the season finale, we'll that's a mixed bag. It was good to see Mickey and Eva in partnership and leaving the town, and Louise standing up to Campbell and freedom of the press was welcome, too.
But ... Campbell and Durant thrashing in the mud was ridiculous and went on far too long. And why the Swede has been given a lease into the next and final season is beyond me. That season would be far better off with Elam or Ruth alive, and the psycho Swede ("I'm Norwegian") gone for good.
