Chris, Mike, and Mark get a little confused by the timeline with this the third episode produced, but fifth episode aired (months after the first four episodes were shown) "Rendezvous at Big Gulch," aka, "Terror in the Neighborhood." Special Guest Star Florence Henderson shills cooking oil amid a hail of bullets and Nordberg is finally introduced.
