Titled: “Outlaw Country”
This was our very special Thanksgiving episode, minus the turkey and trimmings.
With all the team bonding goin’ on during this episode, it was about as family oriented as we’re ever going to get, don’t you think?
While the trip back to Outlaw Country was really kind of boring, all things considered, the relationship bits were a whole lot of fun, because even when Nate gets a little uppity in his superhero ways, his enthusiasm is contagious.
This was, to me, another installment to allow the newbies to shine.
After all, we’ve already been to the old west. Ray had his experience, being the one place he’d always wanted to go. And with nothing left to give at the moment, he’s taking on the big brother role with Nate.
