Horns of Plenty

A game warden is found next to a dead elk. He has been stabbed to death. It leads to the discovery of a substance being made from the velvet of elk antlers and the beast's pancreas. This substance is useless for medicinal purposes, but has serious negative side effects. It turns out that a Chinese engineer is involved in this. Meanwhile, Cady has awakened and is on the mend. Walt has won the election, leaving Branch in a state of confusion. While he is getting things straightened out, he makes a serious discovery. This is a very good episode.
