Official synopsis: Sheriff Boone takes John to Elmdale for his trial. He is accused of falsifying the title deed to the land on which he built New Babylon. Django tries to intercede with Judge Fourier, whom he has known since the Civil War. For his part, Seymour threatened to set fire to the oil wells of New Babylon so that the inhabitants would rally to Elizabeth’s cause.

All the characters have different flavours and colours that separate them. Matthias is sensitive and not just the tough guy. Elizabeth wouldn’t stay in this box. If men can play like this, I’m going to do that – and do it worse. She’s revolting and you see that throughout the series. She’s taking back control and has this inner battle between the woman in her and the man in her. It explores the masculine and feminine in all these characters.
