the final episode, "myra barker", provided a satisfying (if melancholy) finale to the series: ponset falls in love with myra, and proposes marriage. myra, after thinking it over, appears to accept - but then tells britt she's heard that sheriff jennings of eagle falls has asked for his help, and britt admits that he feels obligated to go. myra tells britt to go and not come back - telling him some adventure will always call him, and he'll always go, or regret not going. britt goes, resuming his wanderings, but not before revealing to the audience that he knows he was *not* needed in eagle falls - and knows myra knows that too. the moment comes across of a moment of supreme self-realization by britt that he always will be a wanderer.
