A Ride in the Sun; Survived (by BluewindFarm)
Synopsis: In the tenth season episode, “A Ride in the Sun” the Cartwrights are scammed by brother/sister con artists, Tobias and April Horn. As their scam came to a conclusion, not only did they murder the Bank President, but they severely wounded Ben.
The brothers set out with the posse and are determined to bring these siblings to justice. Hoss and Joe lead the posse to a certain point, only to separate off to follow their own leads which go against the facts and logic; ultimately, Joe ends up trailing the fugitives alone through the desert. This story is told from Joe’s POV as he heads into the desert.
