Here Come the Brides

A Dream That Glitters (1x20)

Data emisji: Lut 26, 1969

Candy Pruitt's grandfather Benjamin Pruitt arrives in Seattle to visit Candy but also to prospect for gold. Jeremy is very anxious about meeting her grandfather as he has never met any of Candy's relatives. He and Jeremy get along fine but he confides to him and Candy that he has always dreamed of striking it big prospecting for gold and he feels Seattle may be the place. Jeremy tells him that others have searched for gold unsuccessfully but this doesn't sway Benjamin in the least. He proceeds to try his luck and in the process the mine shaft caves in on him. The Bolt brothers rescue him but he no longer feels like living as his dream of finding gold hasn't been fulfilled. Candy believes that if her grandfather finds even a small nugget of gold this will give him the will to live again. She convinces Jeremy to salt the mine with gold from her grandmother's locket. Once the town finds out gold has been discovered they all buy mining equipment and fights break out over different claims.
