Spoilers

Chester Cabot and some of his clan arrive and confront Lucinda Guthrie, who won’t back down, though while Sheriff Pete tries to mediate, until he asks Lucinda out to dinner, Cabot punches him and a fight breaks out. With Archangel and Husk present, the Guthries come out on top, and the Cabots are taken back to their mansion after Lucinda scolds Pete for having the nerve to ask her out. This issue could be seen as a parody of Romeo and Juliet. The rivalling families are called 'Cabot' and 'Manuelo'.
