After she recovers from gunshot wound she suffered when Phyllis was killed, she sells the saloon and puts together a mobile saloon to follow the building of the Union Pacific Railroad. While Fancy follows the rails, her father, reported killed by the Union Army gets out of his POW camp at the end of the war and heads home in hopes of seeing Fancy and Danni.
