of apprenticeship at the hardware store. The relationship between Trixie and Star is rekindled when she nurses him back to health after he is shot and with whom she eventually finds employment and romance, but she remains devoted to Swearengen and reports back to him on Star's and Bullock's activities and disguising her true feelings for Star. She also uses her accounting skills for a short time working as a clerk at the bank. It is implied Al is in love with her and spurs her later on to have a better quality of life than he could provide for her. He verbally attacks Trixie when she casually mentions she would "like to turn a fuckin' trick" long after she has stopped working as a prostitute, chastising her for not realizing "when her lot's improved." Trixie is friends with Ellsworth, who shows her kindness. Devastated on learning he has been killed, she marches to the Grand Hotel to kill Hearst, with her top undone and skirt lifted to take attention away from her face.

She gives birth shortly afterward, and subsequently agrees to marry Sol. When Hearst attempts to have Trixie arrested during the wedding celebrations, Bullock and the town marshal their resources to protect her.

McClintock of such an occurrence involving a prostitute at the Gem Theater named "Tricksie." This includes the detail of the doctor inserting a probe through the hole in the man's skull. Tom Nuttall Thomas "Tom" Nuttall (Leon Rippy) is proprietor of the No. 10 Saloon, which is the
