This episode of Storm Warrior is twisted with health complications, birth, danger, prejudice, hatred, friends, enemies, growth, and an angry neighbor. Charles’s head wound becomes infected, and he has trouble maintaining his balance. Judith and George return to New Orleans with Charles, where the doctors operate to save Charles’s life. The hospital visit becomes even more complicated as Judith goes into labor. Recovery is slow for Charles, and although his memory has returned, he has no recollection of the past six weeks. Charles and the family return to Denver, and a large crowd is waiting at the ranch to celebrate Charles’s miraculous recovery and the birth of their new baby. Charles sets about buying more property to build a warehouse with a storefront, sets his eyes on the vast expanse of land where he was bushwhacked, travels to Kansas City to talk to the land’s owner to make the largest land purchase of his career, and makes a surprising discovery. Charles goes to his construction sites and returns to Philadelphia with his family, and together with Darren, they plan to begin a massive construction project. Charles decides he needs to hire 1,000 men off the street to prevent losing construction jobs to his competition. Darren warns Charles that he has tried to hire men off the street before, and it met with disastrous results. Charles decides to try something new, but he is not sure it will work. Charles’s task of hiring white workers is complicated by the hatred of black and Chinese workers by the white workers, who are filled with prejudice against people of other cultures. It becomes a situation that Charles must overcome or face failure.
