AAngel decides to return to Seattle and takes a room at Frankie's saloon while waiting for The Queen of Seattle to board. Having learned that their mine has been impounded by the U.S. Commissioner because Peter Boggs (Mickey Shaughnessy) has cross-filed a claim against them, Sam, George, and Billy (Fabian) go looking for Boggs. They find him holed up with a case of whiskey at the saloon, where they also run into Angel. It turns out that Frankie is the one who filed the claim in Boggs' name. A rip-roaring fight breaks out between Sam, George, Billy, Boggs, Frankie, and Duggan (Stephen Courtleigh), ending when Sam and George haul Boggs and Frankie over to the Commissioner to disavow their claim. Just then, a call rings out for passengers to board The Queen of Seattle. When Angel starts heading toward the boat, Sam tries to convince her to stay. Angel asks Sam why she should stay, and Sam finally blurts it out. 'Because I love you, that's why!' In the final scene, Angel hugs Sam, George gives Sam and Angel a 'diamond' ring he got from Frankie, and everyone heads over to the saloon.
