Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The chaos in Ep 35 (arrest of the Doctor, mistaken for Holliday) sets off a chain reaction where the Clantons retaliate against Steven, and Dodo, feeling unsafe with Wyatt Earp's custody, flees Tombstone with Holliday. This is a direct causal result of the events in Ep 35.
