The other side of the 'treat the hirelings like dirt' coin is that all hirelings have a sell-by date. That is, in all probability, the portable meat-shield, torch-bearer, and trap-checker doesn't think of himself that way.

The Cavalry has an epic battle with the primary season 1 foe in the epic conclusion to the story arc. We learn what happens when you actually take time to plan, and we take down the bad guys in spectacular fashion. Too spectacular in some cases, which will have some repercussions later.
