Season 1, Episode 13: Vendetta

Dalton, Mutt & Amy welcome “True Detective” scribe Nic Pizzolatto to the show! He explains how writing is just “manipulating people with the alphabet,” before luring Dalton into a conversation about bodysnatchers. Then they recap episode 13 of Bonanza, “Vendetta,” in which Virginia City tries (poorly) to protect Ben from the murderous Morgan gang.
