Season 2, Episode 12
An advance team comes to town before the territorial governor's speech opposing statehood (which Mary has been a staunch supporter of) and Buck falls for the charming coordinator. Meanwhile a well known assassin is found dead in his hotel room with $10,000 in cash which proves to be more temptation than Ezra can handle.
Ezra: However did I allow myself to fall into a career in law enforcement?
Buck: You know there's something really wrong if I'm listening to you about women.
Ezra: Oh, I'm not going in there. If I die, I'd rather hang.
Comments:
You've got to give Ezra credit. He stopped himself from leaving town with the money when he spotted the second assassin and stepped in, at great danger to himself, to help. Wasn't that look on his face when he saw himself in the mirror while taking the money heartbreaking? He knew it was wrong and not who he wanted to be, but just couldn't help himself.
