Ah, the power of the deathbed confession.

So all it took for Ken to realize that he might just have been a little wrong was for him to be gored by a deer.  (That's right folks, he was indeed gored by a deer and I will say it again, I expected there to be more blood, but maybe his jacket was super absorbent.)  I have to say that despite everything he's been through, Ken looks really happy now, offering a chipper hello to Patty when she finally comes to see him in the hospital, which leads me to believe that our good buddy Ken is under the influence of strong hospital drugs.  Then again, maybe not.  Perhaps Ken has just been having a heart to heart talk with the Jack Elrod Ball on his shoulder about how he should turn his life around, how things aren't so bad, and how he's been hurting the ones he loves a la the many heart to heart chats that take place on Dog The Bounty Hunter (only here there won't be any talk of God or Jesus).
Look everyone, it's the Pigeon Of Peace, here to mark the significance of this first positive step in Ken and Patty's relationship!  (What, were you expecting a dove?)  Now, I hope that Ken and Patty don't think that everything is honky-dory now that he's apologized.  Let's not forget that he was jealous of a deer, was going to shoot said deer, and that he hit Patty across the face for defending the deer (and that alone could have warranted them all an appearance on Cops).  No, I think that those two have a little work to do on their marriage, and this might or might not require some professional help (and no, professional help does not include asking Mark for his advice just because he doesn't charge his friends, or letting the Jack Elrod ball hang around with you for a couple of days to make sure that Ken's transition home goes smoothly).  At least it seems that Bucky will be getting another shot at a normal life, assuming that the trapping goes well.  Hopefully he'll just let bygones be bygones and not come back years later, angry and bitter, leading a herd of bloodthirsty deer to finish off the job he started on that isolated trail so long ago.
