[@kaisykaisy]

From his side, Hoss was a gentleman with a highly moral, he had an honest mission to accomplish and he did it in a right way. God Bless honest people. R.I.P. Hoss Judi Meredith (lotty) was born in 1936 in Portland and passed away in 2014 at the age of 77 years old. R.I.P. Judi

A very bittersweet episode. However, it showed the finest qualities of Hoss's character. He was kind, gentle, loyal and considerate to a fault. In many respects, he was the noblest of the Cartwrights and very much like Lotty's imagined medieval knights. The ending was surprisingly unsaccharine for a TV series of its time. And, as always, Bonanza was well-scripted, acted and directed. Many thanks!

@Arline Abdalian. Don't forget that Hoss was extremely powerful and he was easily able to subdue those two men even though one of the men had a gun drawn on him. I think that when Lotty saw that, she thought of Hoss as her knight in shining armor. With all of those wonderful qualities that Hoss had, it's no wonder that Lotty fell in love with him.
