Answer: School teacher

Sam is posing as the town's new school teacher. During his non-teaching time he is tracking down the outlaw gang that is responsible for several raids on wagons and trains, resulting in robberies and murders. He soon discovers that trying to teach the town's and nearby ranchers' children is interesting and difficult.
2. Of the town's children, who does Sam dangle in the well?

Answer: Terran Chancelor

Terran Chancelor was responsible for planning and instigating the dangling of their former school teacher, Thomas Singleton, into the well. Upon arrival in town, Sam discovered Singleton was tied with baling twine, dangling head first into the well. To teach Terran and his accomplices a lesson, Sam dangles Terran into the well.

After Sam pulls him up he forces Terran to apologize to his former teacher.
3. Haven is a town with no official form of law but Mungo Donagher, turns himself in and is placed in jail. What was crime did he commit and confess to?

Answer: Murder

Mungo is in jail because he murdered his son, Garrett. Described as a man that was "mean jealous", Mungo came home to discover his son having an affair with his wife, Undine. After killing his son, he takes the body into town and confesses for several to see and hear. Sam soon takes control of the situation and deputizes a local man to watch over Mungo in prison. Undine later says that Mungo is innocent because Garrett had forced himself on her and Mungo arrived just in time to save her.
4. Maddie and Sam go to Mungo's ranch only to discover that they cannot find Ben. Where is Ben hiding?

Answer: Behind the cook stove in Anna's cabin

Ben is Mungo's twelve year-old son. He was at the ranch when his father shot his brother. The gunfire scared him and he hid. He was hiding Anna's cabin, behind the cook stove. Sam suggested that Maddie check there first. After Maddie finds Ben she reassures him that he can go and live with her and Terran. Later Sam explained that as a child his mother got shot and she had told him to hide behind the stove because stoves deflect bullets.

Answer: Oralee Pringle

Mungo owns almost all of Haven, except for the saloon, the Rattlesnake, owned by Oralee Pringle. She claims that Sam does not look nor behave like a school teacher, but instead acts more like a lawman or a gunslinger. After Mungo turns himself in, and Sam takes control of the situation, Oralee is more convinced that he is not a teacher. Out of all of the townspeople, even after seeing his take charge attitude and the gun he carries Oralee is the only one that guessed that Sam is not who he claims to be.
