Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing" data-source="post: 353676" data-attributes="member: 64">He was Jock, the X rays were conclusive enough to show that along with the bullet wound.The explanation that he wasn't was just badly written in my honest opinion but they had to provide some sort of explanation to write the character off the show.However I do think that the way Barbara Bel Geddes plays Miss Ellie when Clayton wants to go after Wes certainly suggests that there's more to Wes's departure than meets the eye largely because we never see what happened between Ellie and Wes when they meet for the last time.  Who knows what Wes really said to her?  Did he provide further proof that he was Jock?  Did he leave because he saw his family had moved on and that his presence was tearing them apart because they didn't believe him?One other thing I noticed on a recent rewatch is when Clayton asks Ellie about what Wes said she mentions him being all alone without a family, she also says  that she'd tell him more later but when she does this Clayton is in the background and Ellie's in the foreground with her back to him so make of that what you will.   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
