Ep 6. The Gallows

In Frontier season 1 episode 6, titled "The Gallows," tensions continue to rise between the Hudson's Bay Company and the fur traders in Canada as Declan Harp's plan to disrupt their monopoly begins to take shape. With the help of his ally Michael Smyth, Harp sets his sights on sabotaging a HBC shipment of valuable furs, hoping to strike a blow against their stranglehold on the region's fur trade.

Meanwhile, tensions also boil over in Fort James as old wounds are reopened and long-buried secrets are revealed. Captain Chesterfield, still recovering from his injuries sustained in a previous episode, finds himself under pressure from both the HBC and his own men, who have grown increasingly disillusioned with his leadership. Seeking to assert his authority, he orders a public execution that threatens to tear the fragile community apart.

With the fate of the fur trade and the future of Canada hanging in the balance, "The Gallows" is a tense and gripping episode that showcases the high stakes of the conflict between the HBC and the fur traders. As alliances are tested and loyalties are questioned, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they wait to see who will emerge victorious in this dangerous and unpredictable world.
