The next day the two sons discover the Indian butchery when they visit the store, and a relative of one of the deceased threatens to murder Pacer in retaliation (although the viewer knows he had nothing to do with the raid). Then 8 men visit the house demanding the white son clarify where his loyalty lies.

After that, Paw and the white son ride off, and two white trappers visit the house begging a meal. When they learn that Pacer and his mother are Indian, they turn arrogant, calling him boy and Red Boy and one making sexual advances towards his mother.
