As the buffalo was charging at Francis, he just stayed still and didn’t bother to move. Margot realized that with the boost of confidence he has with the buffalo Francis will leave her. Grabbing the Mannlicher that Wilson left behind, she pulled the trigger out of the anger, shooting him without another thought. After realizing what she did, she started to cry hysterically.
