It also allows Omie to continue a conversation with Aldo Abruzo (Joel Reitsma), the Fadda henchman Omie’s stuck in his trunk. (Freeze the frame and you can read a somewhat baffled account of the episode’s final moments.) Then the image switches to black and white and the events leading up to Omie and his captor’s arrival at the fateful gas station.Īfter a quick stop at a plaque marking the birthplace of astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto, we learn that Omie is still in search of Calamita and, after a brief conversation with the gas station attendant - the doomed Willy Bupor (Cedric Young) - that ends with Omie agreeing to do some painting in return for being allowed to sit and wait for Calamita’s inevitable arrival. Specifically, it lands on a page from the book’s seventh chapter, “Who Shot Willy Bupor?,” an investigation into a strange crime that transpired in 1950 at a small filling station.
“East/West” announces itself as an atypical outing from the start, with a Bertrand Russell quote, and a slow pan over some rubble that lands on some pages from the book The History of True Crime in the Wild West.

That’s a major development in this season’s storyline, but it also mostly serves as a framing device for the episode, season four’s oddest episode and as wild a departure as the series has ever attempted.
In “East/West,” Omie begins the episode on a journey to make good on that promise, one that takes him to a middle-of-nowhere gas station somewhere between Kansas City and the town of Liberal, Kansas. When we last saw Omie Sparkman - former boxer and Loy Cannon loyalist - he was promising his boss that Constant Calamita would soon pay for the crime of killing Doctor Senator (and other offenses).
