Jared Garrity (John Dehner, also in The Jungle in Season 3 and The Lonely way back in Season 1) has pulled into Happiness, Arizona, a town that has remade itself. Formerly a dozen different names, recently it has overcome its past with a new name and a new focus. The 128 citizens in the cemetary on the hill are the past. But Mister Garrity has a service, and that service is bringing back the dead.
So he goes up to the cemetary and returns to announce that everyone will be returning. One by one the townsfolk explain that perhaps they aren’t so interested in their dearly departed returning to town after all. The only problem is that the fee charged to send them back to their grave is pretty high – between $500 and $1200. That’s a lot of money for 1890, when the episode took place.
Of course, Garrity is a con man, and he doesn’t intend to really bring those people back. His cohort meets him on the way out of town. But after he leaves, we see the cemetary come to life with all the people we’ve just heard about, heading down to the town.
