In 'Manhunt' Episode 5, Booth and David Herold (Will Harrison) mistakenly traveled back to Maryland instead of reaching their intended destination of Richmond, Virginia.

Booth and Herold remain undeterred, disguising themselves in Confederate soldiers' uniforms to continue their journey towards Virginia.

As the episode progresses further, a man advises Booth and Herold to relax at Garrett's farm. Booth sought treatment for his injured leg at the farm, aiming to continue his journey to Richmond.

On the other hand, Edwin Stanton spared no effort in his quest to uncover Booth's whereabouts. He also visited Mudd's house to gather clues that could potentially lead him to Booth's location.

In the last scene of 'Manhunt' Episode 5, Stanton learns that Booth has been receiving treatment at Garrett’s farm. This information fuels Stanton's determination to capture Booth, setting the stage for dramatic confrontation in Episode 6.
