He says he promises that he's here to protect, not bring danger to their door. She finds Tom out there trying to break a horse and they have some flirty flirty fun times. But there's an issue - Doyal has dammed Tom's stream while prospecting and it's caused Tom's farm to flood. So Tom applies for a land patent to keep Doyal from prospecting his land. But what he doesn't know is that Doyal also applied. It's going to be up to Alexander to figure out what's what. Late one night, Rebecca goes to look at a picture of her husband. She's real sad.

Alexander allows each of them to make a statement as to why they deserve the land. Tom explains that he's been working this land for 3.5 years. It's his. Doyal's daughter explains that the law is that the first person who has worked the land and files an application gets the land. That's the law. Alexander decides that the law is clear - the first to file gets the land. Doyal did it first. However, in a world of right & wrong, uphold what is right. Tom has been working the land for years before the prospectors arrived. The law is for land that hasn't already been claimed, not in a situation where the land has already been claimed. Tom gets the land but Doyal is able to cross it to get to other streams. Doyal is not pleased and says he's going to take it up to Alexander's superiors. Ned's parents come to say goodbye to Rebecca. She says wait...you can stay here for free if you run my mess tent. They agree to stay. The episode ends...

Back at magic HQ, Strange learns that The Ancient One has been pulling energy from the Dark Dimension this whole time to stay alive, and Mordo is not thrilled to find out his mentor has been doing morally gray immortality stuff behind everyone’s back. Kaecilius attacks again and The Ancient One gets fatally wounded, and before she dies, she tells Strange and Mordo they need each. So Strange and Mordo head to Hong Kong, only to find the place completely wrecked, Wong dead, and the Dark Dimension swallowing Earth. IT's not looking good. But... Strange reverse time, fixes the destruction, saves Wong, and then goes to bargain with Dormammu. How does he do that? Well, he traps himself and Dormammu in an endless time loop and basically just annoys him into surrendering. In the end, Mordo is so disgusted by all the rule-bending and cosmic loopholes that he quits being a sorcerer and storms off. Strange returns the Eye, which, surprise, is actually an Infinity Stone—and decides to hang around in the New York Sanctum with Wong, continuing his wizard training and learning more about the unknown.
