‘Hell on Wheels’ season 4, episode 11 spoilers: New details on ‘Bleeding Kansas’

“Hell on Wheels” fans have been waiting a long, long time to get some more information on “Bleeding Kansas.” Why make them wait any longer than they have already?

Luckily, we have the short synopsis now via TV Guide, and it contains mostly information that you would have expected. Still, isn’t it nice to have it in print form? Take a look below:

“Cullen and Durant fight to save the life of a criminal. Meanwhile, Louise tries to provide support as Ruth copes with a great loss.”

Let’s fill in the cracks here. The life that Cullen and Durant are fighting to save is that of Sydney Snow, who was shot by Ruth out of revenge at the end of the last new episode. While we cannot imagine that either party is going to be sad to see him die, but there is a part of them that also may feel like this is too easy an escape for a man who burned down Ruth’s chapel, shot at many railroad men, and has basically been the most horrible guy imaginable since showing up and haunting Bohannon with elements of his past.

As for Ruth’s mourning, this touches back on young Ezra, who died as a result of the fire. Her fate is going to be an interesting one to watch. How much do you punish her? There are most likely many characters on this show who probably would have done the same thing in her shoes, but that does not make her actions any less of a crime, especially in a world where John Campbell has been so desperate to clean the streets of Cheyenne.

Suffice it to say, we’re excited to see how the story of season 4 wraps up.
