    A human brotherhood Christmas morality tale

    Realistic it sure isn't - instead it is a Christmas tale, full with heart-warming feelings. Therefore the worst is never sure, brotherly human feelings towards Indian fellow humans may vanquish narrow-minded vengeful instincts, and shared love for a child overcome all hatred. If this is a Christian tale, Paladin is the rightful Christian errant knight who spreads the gospel of fraternity and peace. Amen.

    • Trivia
      The pre-title teaser is individual to this episode, rather than the usual shot of Paladin pointing his gun at the camera whilst a quote from the episode plays over the theme music.
    • Quotes

      Paladin: With this gun, I could have stopped murder tonight. But I've taken it off. That's my present to you. In all my life I've only seen a dozen real killers, but I've seen ten thousand people that would stand by and let it happen. Which is the greater evil?
