   Summary

   While on the hunt for Flaco Hernández, Arthur Morgan sees a strange woman in the mountains. Then, upon returning to Colter not long thereafter, he sees her again - and this time, she's gravely injured. What's more, she's a bit of an odd duck; something about her speaks of an untold pain. On top of that, the feud between the Van der Lindes and the O'Driscolls is heating up to be something far deadlier.

   Will two cold hearts be able to warm up to one another, or have they been frozen for too long?
