Don't RIP RAT!

While the gang's wagon train transfers from Colter to Horseshoe Overlook, Dutch sends Micah scouting together with Lenny. They briefly return to the gang's new camp (Micah can be met at the Horseshoe campfire during the early stages of the Chapter) before they are sent out scouting once again by Susan Grimshaw. The two of them end up in the area of Strawberry. Bell decides to seek a former criminal associate of his, Norman, who lives in Strawberry. After playing some Five Finger Fillet with Skinny and other men, Micah gets into a drunken fight which culminates in him killing two men (most likely members of the O'Driscoll gang), landing him in the local jail where he shares a cell with a member of the O'Driscoll gang.

Lenny, who manages to escape from Strawberry, rushes to the gang's new camp and notifies Dutch and Arthur about Micah's arrest. Ordered to so by Dutch, Arthur reluctantly rides to Strawberry and rescues his fellow gang member. After being freed, Micah immediately shoots his O'Driscoll cellmate in the head, and the pair clear off the guards in the immediate area. Arthur insists they should leave, but Micah instead fights his way through town to get his prized revolvers back, searching for Norman, who has taken possession of his guns after his arrest. Micah soon finds him and kills both him and his wife before retrieving his guns and resuming his escape from the town. The reckless charge leaves many lawmen dead and almost costs both Micah and Arthur their lives; afterward, Arthur scolds Micah for his carelessness.

Not wishing to return to Dutch emptyhanded after the massacre in Strawberry, Micah remains in Big Valley to work on a robbery. He is later joined by Arthur and asks him to help him rob a stagecoach. After a brief gunfight, the pair of outlaws take the stagecoach, before a gang of O'Driscolls attempt to steal it from them. Micah and Arthur camp on one side of the river, and after a long fight, annihilate the enemy gang. Arthur and Micah then take the loot and, now feeling that he has redeemed himself, Micah returns to the rest of the gang. At some point later, when the gang realize that they need to relocate, Micah suggests Dewberry Creek as a possible place to go. Arthur and Charles Smith investigate the location and decide that it is a poor choice for camp, so they eventually decide to settle at Clemens Point instead.
