* ''The Case of the Prowling Bear'': The climax has Hank, Drover, and Slim having to deal with an escaped problem black bear while a cold front is sweeping the ranch. They're utterly physically outmatched -- the bear backhands Hank several feet at one point -- and even getting into Slim's house doesn't keep it away; it just batters in the door, forcing them to run out the back into the subzero temperatures. Slim tries to pile everyone into the car, only for them to have another close call when the door sticks from the freezing weather. The last instance involves them being stuck in the pickup, which won't start thanks to the terrible cold, while the bear prowls around outside. It's sheer luck that saves their lives -- the bear's foggy breath and lack of object permanence send it off somewhere else, and the deputies are driving around the area looking for the bear.
