In the bank when The Virginian asks for a bank draft, he asks for it to be made out to John Grainger but his brother Clay has been running things for a few episodes now due to Charles Bickford's death. Up until now the series hasn't explained who owns the ranch now.
Francois wears a frilly yellow dress the first time she meets Winthrop, but when she and the Virginian leave that night, she is wearing the blue one that she actually wears the following day.
