[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Title: Through the Refiner's Fire, scene four
Day/Theme: August 14th - For a great unknown beyond the horizon
Series: Bonanza-related (based on the "Her Brother's Keeper" episode)
Character/Pairing: Carl Armory, James Jeffers, Claire Armory
Rating: T/PG-13

A friend finally had the time to watch the episode, and that excited me so much that the fourth segment flowed.

Now we are introduced to James Jeffers, a oneshot character played by Richard Anderson in The Wild Wild West episode "The Night of the Headless Woman". (It's a mannequin woman, by the way.) I refuse to believe that the character is the Big Bad of the episode; he's so kind that the transformation is not believable to me. I have an evil double theory, but ahem. Anyway, so Jeffers will likely be a semi-major player in the fic from this point on. Kind but no-nonsense, he won't put up with any manipulations should Carl start to backslide. Carl needs a bit of help now, but I definitely intend to keep Jeffers more in the background where Carl's transformation is concerned. It should be Carl's own decision, with Jeffers only giving a small push or advice as needed. And this takes place several years prior to the WWW episode.

Me being a Perry Mason fan, I'm just too tickled by the idea of characters played by Wesley Lau and Richard Anderson to interact!
