Over the following year she turns to Buck Cantrell, and when Press returns, his new wife Amy Stewart is with him. Buck and Press quarrel over Julie, and a duel is arranged.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
