Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The initial misunderstanding of the Doctor's identity (Episode 34) creates a domino effect: Wyatt Earp's investigation into Charlie's death (Episode 37) is fueled by the perceived threat the Clantons pose, which traces back to the Doctor's misidentification as Holliday. Wyatt's desperate measure to deputize the Doctor is a direct consequence of this escalated tension.
