Sending Teddy off, Clint and Edward wait for Kold and Stone's arrival at the High Rock. After learning of a gambit, they return hurriedly to town to face Stone's band of men head-on.

Edward's magic protection allows the three-man group to eavesdrop on the bandits at the stew hole, where Clint learns the identity of the dark rider. Afterward, Clint explains the terrible nature of the unicorn of a different color.
