Kyle: Ma’am, there are empty houses all over Jericho and we sleep in a shelter.
Gail: Those are our neighbors’ homes. They were gone when the bombs went off. They’re coming back!
Kyle: Well, wherever your neighbors are, I hope nobody’s kicking them out of town in the middle of winter.

'One Man's Terrorist' is a great example of the richly textured storytelling that makes 'Jericho' such a rewarding experience. Beyond the action and excitement of the apocalypse, the story provides a layered examination of a town's moral psyche in the face of extreme circumstances.
The question of whether or not Mayor Grey should kick out the refugees is compelling. Does the Jericho have an obligation to help others if it puts them at risk? Or does the mayor have a responsibility to his own people above all else?
