Storyline:
"When 16-year-old Todd Grayson arrives from Boston to Virginia City, he is told that his father has been killed by Ben Cartwright.

Reviews:
"Characters: Todd Grayson and Diane Jordan
Cartwright involved: Hoss and Ben
Missing: Joe and Adam (gone on a roundup, I believe)
The beginning of this episode shows Luke Grayson coming into the general store drunk with his girlfriend. He gets mad and tries to kill Ben. Instead, he's killed by Ben. It's a matter of self defense. Ben did everything he could to keep from killing him and no one in the town disputes this - except the girlfriend.
Enter Todd, Luke's son who had come to meet up with his father and start a ranch. No matter what anybody tells him, Todd is convinced that his father was gunned down and murdered; and Ben is getting away with it because he's rich and powerful.
It's classic Ben - he takes in the boy to his home. But no matter what he and Hoss try to do, they can't get through to the boy.
Lee Van Cleef adds drama to this. Obviously, we know he's going to be a baddie. And he does not disappoint in this episode. His party is pretty minor, but he serves his purpose.
Dead: 2" Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
"When a man goes berserk in the local store and tries to kill Ben Cartwright, he draws and kills the man. Even though he knows that he had no choice, Ben feels deep remorse and wishes that there were something else he could have done. Shortly after the shooting, 16-year-old Todd Grayson arrives by stage from Boston in order to be reunited with his dead father. Anguished and full of hero worship for his father, Todd can think of nothing but killing Ben in revenge. Ben takes responsibility for Todd, even taking him to the Ponderosa and giving him room and board. A gunman traveled the stage with Todd and befriended him. Seeing an opportunity to be paid well for killing Ben, the gunman talks the girlfriend of Todd's father into paying him. It is only when the girlfriend finally comes clean with Todd that he realizes that his father was not the man he thought he was. It is at this point that Todd drops his vendetta. The essential goodness of Ben Cartwright is on display here. Even though he knows Todd is determined to kill him, be reaches out to Todd and does everything he can to try to make amends for an act not his fault." Written by cashbacher on IMDb.com
