Why This Must Be Read:

It's long known that each and every member of the Seven has a soft spot for children. But none of them so much as Ezra Standish. It's Ezra who repeatedly befriends the children who appear in the episodes. Ezra who enlists the Seminole children in the pilot to help with the defense, Ezra who plays cards with young Olivia while they guard her for her mother...Ezra who can get them to light up and smile like they haven't a care in the world. Thus, it's this story that hits like a ton of bricks. It involves the kidnapping of young children, particularly one close to Ezra. The themes are that which aren't much different than a Without a Trace episode but nevertheless, set in the time it is, (this is very much an Old West story) it hits harder...

The whole thing will leave you going "oh, poor Ezra..."
