When Annie captures an escaping Marty Sharp, Ben berates her for putting herself in danger. Annie calms him down, becoming all domestic at their ranch, which prompts Ben to ask Idaho over to see the new Annie. Meanwhile Ben tells Annie that years ago her mother, Agnes, rode out after some cattle thieves and was never seen again. When Ben and Idaho are attacked by thieves, Annie picks up her skillets and beats them into submission. It looks like Ben and Idaho pretty much have accepted that Annie is never going to be the demure housewife type.
