• misterwolf Although reluctant, Charley suggests that she and the group consult Yellowstone's disgraced sheriff, Quinton Bell; they all agree, but are as frustrated as Charley. Arriving in the town, the group make their way to its jail, where Bell is waiting to be transferred to prison. Bell mocks Charley's sense of honor and motherly care for Maisie, saying that she should have joined his cause. Charley mocks him back, calling him an "animalistic vermin." Respecting Charley's comeback at him, Bell provides a clue to the crimes Vasquez is suspected of doing.

An outlaw named Calvin Stone arrives with Vasquez and they ambush the group, who are outnumbered by Stone's gang. Before they can be killed, an Irish bounty hunter named Neal O'Hara saves the group and leads them to a nearby camp where he is working with none other than Arthur, Willis' brother.

O'Hara manages to stealthily destroy the holding cells within the prison Bell is now located in, allowing him to escape and meet O'Hara, who narrowly avoids being caught by the guards and leads Bell to Charley.

• misterwolf Despite initially bickering with Charley and participating in a heated brawl with Willis, Bell later apologizes and agrees to help the group find Vasquez and Stone. Throughout the investigation, they find no information on Stone, and they soon realize that he may be covering his tracks so he does not become known.

However, Charley is not there and is currently meeting Vasquez at an abandoned town, having been mysteriously asked by him to meet there. Vasquez reveals that he was not the culprit behind the massacres and that he was actually hired to disguise himself as an outlaw to catch the true killer, and Charley realizes that Stone is the one behind this. Charley and Vasquez form a truce and agree to help each other catch Stone when the time is right.

• misterwolf As Vasquez leaves, Charley is suddenly approached by an hallucination of her father, Mace. Charley opens up to Mace about her struggles of being a parent, and tells him how scared she is of losing Maisie, explaining that she is the most important thing to her. Mace comforts Charley, assuring her that she is more than ready. He also reveals that when Charley was born, he and her mother had doubts that they could raise her, fearing that she could experience a life of loneliness and a worse suffering than what she endured in the past, but they loved her nonetheless and realized they were wrong. Mace then tells Charley that if she allows herself to be exposed to her pain, to embrace it, it will make her stronger than she could ever imagine. An emotional Charley hugs Mace and bids him farewell, and he departs once again.
