Michael Learned

This is the only episode where Matt kisses a woman on the lips - and it isn't Kitty! It's a lady named Mike - played by Michael Learned. Matt, of course, was suffering from memory loss. (Click on Mike for more information.)

Note: Seventeen years later in the 1990 made-for-television movie Gunsmoke: The Last Apache, Matt meets Mike again and, for the first time, Dillon learns he has a daughter, Beth.
