- Last season on Walker...
- MICKI: So, you've been

out of town. Not yourself.

Sounds like undercover.

Whoa!

This is the Nation.

WALKER: You are involved

with Northside Nation.

How deep do they have
their hooks in you?

We had the product from a drug bust.

We just needed the distribution.

That was Northside.

- We need a medic.

Del Rio situation.

It's looking like ex-m*llitary.

Oh. Yeah, I, uh, I crossed
there when I served, sir.

JAMES: I know. That's why I'd
like your eyes on this.


- If you're interested.
- Undercover?

Your friend. Uh, Garrison.
Whatever happened to him?

He's the one that got away.

I'm always the one that

(CHUCKLES): Yeah. Yeah.

I remember that.

You, uh, you talk to her lately?

No. It's, uh, it's been almost a month.

Yeah. Hey.

I, uh, I'm meeting up with James later.

I'll see what I can find out.

- Thanks, man.
- Yeah, course.

- All right.

the "sold" sign over the hill

No.

I wonder who the new

- Hey. Where's Trey?
- WALKER: (LAUGHS) He had

- to take off.
- He had to go. He had to go home.

- Yeah.
- You know, he needs to eat more.

I hope he knows that
he's more than welcome

- to stay for breakfast.
- WALKER: He knows.

Mama, we-we've told
him. You've told him.

He starts early at Sacred Heart.

- A guidance counselor starts this early?
- AUGUST: Oh, he...

he's also a parking lot monitor.

- That man's trying to fill a void.
- ABELINE: You know, Cordi?

- WALKER: Yeah.
- You really should ask James.

Oh, yeah, yeah, I-I know.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna talk

to James later, Mama.

You know, someone bought
the Andersons' property.

AUGUST: Andersons have
been there forever.

Who was there before them?

- Uh, Davidsons. (CLEARS THROAT)
- STELLA: Wait.

Didn't you break off your
engagement to Marv Davidson

- after you met Grandpa?
- ABELINE: Why, yes,

I did, and it was the best
decision I ever made.

AUGUST: I really hope the new
neighbors are cool, you know?

- Maybe they have, like, kids or something.
- STELLA: You mean

a hot daughter you can try and
date since Ruby's gone. (LAUGHS)

- Shut up. Like you're gonna be single forever.
- STELLA: Oh,

'cause your love life
is just perfection.

Okay, it's-it's early.
Mm. (CLEARS THROAT)

STELLA: Oh! Uncle Liam, are you going

- to New York this month to see Bret?
- LIAM: Maybe.

I don't know, I got to figure that out.

Anyway, I got to go to work.

It's a big day today, too.
You know, they might have

another election or an interim D.A.

Surely, they're not gonna
make you go through

- another election.
- WALKER: Well,

I mean, I doubt voters would
make the same decision

if they knew what they know now.

- Yeah. All right.
- Yep.

See you. Whoa.

- What, y'all-y'all heading out already?
- STELLA: Yeah.

- (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
- Trying not to start out senior year

with as many absents as last year.

- Okay.
- Love you.

Love you. I should shower.

- Also, I got to get out of here.
- ABELINE: Hey, would you please

- remember to ask James?
- WALKER: I... Yes.

I will talk to Captain James
about Micki today.

How do you think she's doing, son?

Micki?

Uh, she's, uh...

Micki's solid, Daddy. She always is.

The position's been filled.

It's been a long time.

Yeah.

Cordi! Daddy!

Grandma! (GASPING)

Yeah, whole family.

Well, my-my mom and my son.

We bought our old place back.

I don't know if you remember,

Demanding, yeah. You...

Uh, I... That came out wrong. I-I...

I was gonna say "a real bitch,"

Finally, this is Ranger Ramirez's desk,

who's, uh, currently away on assignment.

Um, safe to say she's following up

on the sh**ting in Austin
since she left the next day.

She's been gone about three months.

I heard you were gone about a year.

Did you two get close?

Do...

- Do-do you mean, did we... ?
- I-I mean

I'm trying to decide if
you should be involved

in Ranger Ramirez's case

in the event that it
does, in fact, involve

Stan Morrison and Northside Nation.

Yeah, we got close. I mean,
Micki's my-my partner.

We've been through a lot together.

And, honestly, I-I've
become really close

with her boyfriend,
Trey, since she left.

I mean, we jog together.
We barbecue together.

- We watch... (CHUCKLES)
- Wow, I-I remember this.

You. Always the oversharer.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I'm not trying to overshare.

I'm just saying I'm-I'm
keeping an eye on him,

- making sure he's all right.
- Well, it sounds like

you are close. We'll have
to keep that in mind

if you're gonna continue
to work together.

Fair enough. Uh, wh-what about us?

We've known each other
since we were kids,

and I imagine the D.A.'s
office and the Rangers

will be working closely together.

- A lot's happened since we were kids.
- Right.

So, why don't both of us
just put the past behind us.

Okay?

Looking forward to working
with you, Ranger Walker.

JAMES: If you're gonna stay,
things need to change.


No more skipping check-ins. All right?

And you're gonna have to give me
a little more Intel than talking

about stealing some dude's car back.

What's this guy's name again?

(SIGHS) Matt Phillips.

We call him Spider.

Of course you do.

- How'd you get close to him?
- (SIGHS)

He's ex-m*llitary. Lover of trivia.

- It's a match made in undercover heaven.
- Can you connect him

to the Austin sn*per?

No. Uh, not yet.

- I'm not even sure he's the sh**t.
- Okay.

Then what do you have, Micki?

- You've been down here three months.
- Okay,

listen, I might not be in
Serano's inner circle yet,

but we both know he's the one
calling the sh*ts down here.

And if I can get Spider talking
me up to him, then I am

one step closer. Sir,
I just need more time.

There it is. You need more time.

I have heard that one before.

Look, I just... (EXHALES)

I don't want to make the
same mistake twice, okay?

I don't want to leave
you in play too long.

Yeah, I know.

But you recruited me because
you saw that I didn't give up.

"To know the line is to toe the line."

That's what you said.

How's he doing?

Who, Walker? He's, uh...

You know, he's Walker. He's
good. He's in a good place.

Well, at least till this
new D.A. came along.

It's... It's a story for another time.

Don't worry, I'm keeping an
eye on him while you're gone.

He misses you, you know.
Asks about you all the time.

Does he know?

About your theory that he was
the target and not just Stan?

Hell no.

Like I said, I'm keeping an eye
on him while you're gone.

That's usually my arena.
How about detention?

For all three of them.

What did I do?

Sounds fair.

But your son should pay for the damages.

Mom, I-I didn't do it.

Stop.

Uh, no witnesses,

but we'll split the repairs.

No, no, no, no. She
was a gift from Emily,

so Denise stays.

- Yeah. Good.
- Hey,

will you lock up for me?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- GERI: Good night.

Good night, Geri.

Trey.

My bodyguard. (LAUGHS)

Hey, thank you for earlier.
I-I think I would have ended up

with a nice shiner
if it weren't for you.

Yeah. Yeah.

You all right?

I saw her.

You saw her-her, who?

Micki? You... You went to her?

I know. I know, but she's been MIA.

And, look, I've been in
the trenches with her,

and this...

Th-This what?

You don't know this.

You can't know this.

- Okay. Clear. Clear.
- All right?

But she's down there because of you.

To save you.

That sn*per wasn't just targeting Stan.

You were the first sh*t.

(EXHALES)

- How long you known this?
- It-it doesn't matter.

What matters is that you
help get her out of this.

Hey.

Please.

All right.

(EXHALES)

Well, I didn't make

your power greens chia
whatnot because I thought

hash browns and diesel
oil might sit better.

- You didn't have to do that.
- BONHAM: Well,

there's a couple things you
didn't have to do, either.

Why don't you help me
understand a couple things.

Okay? That fire. Denise and Cordi

were there. Everybody
has a different version

- of what happened.
- Son, it was an accident.

Yeah, but they blamed us for it.

If I remember, I feel like
they tried to sue us?

ABELINE: Yes. And it was
all settled in court.

And I seem to remember
the whole experience

sparking the young lawyer in you.

Yeah, I haven't thought
about that in a long time.

Neither have I.

Well, now they're back, and...

BONHAM: Like we said,

it was settled.

Yeah, but, Mom, Dad,

clearly, it wasn't.

I mean, Dan was screaming that Marv

d*ed saving Cordell.

So they still blame us for his death.

I mean, do you ever wonder
if there was more to it?

- Is that painting a little sideways?
- ABELINE: Your drunken brain

is sideways!

You're right.

(SIGHS)

Excuse me.

How you feeling this morning?

Top-notch.

(CHUCKLES) Well,

I am getting things
in order around here.

And as far as cases go,

I'm gonna need you off Del Rio.

Because of what happened last night?

I didn't need last night to tell me

anything I didn't already know.

I mean, you covering Del Rio,

your brother's partner...

It's just a conflict of interest.

Or it's a case that I
have a lot of Intel on.

Which I will gratefully accept.

But I'm trying to clean
things up around here,

and I can't be dirtying it
with the Brothers Walker

and your murky life choices.

Um, do you think that
we should pull Ramirez?

Are you kicking me off the case,
or are you asking my opinion?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I'm
allowed to do both.

(CHUCKLES)

- JAMES: Walker.
- WALKER: Hey, Cap.

Uh, saw I missed your call.

- Just checking in.
- Yeah. Um...

You talk to Trey lately?

Yeah. Uh, you know, little bit.

Uh, running buddies and whatnot.

Right. Cool.

Did he say anything about Micki?

WALKER: Just the usual.

Uh, misses her. Wishes he knew more.

And then, frankly, I-I wish
we could tell him more,

but I get it, you know?
Uh, it is what it is.

Mm-hmm.

Where you heading now?

Uh, my, uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

My old man requested ribs.

All right. Well,

- better feed that man, then.
- WALKER: Yes, sir.

Will do. Talk soon.

Okay.

I'm here to save you.

Look, um, bad news, all right?
I think I was followed here.

Or-or maybe you. Yeah,
let's go with you.

- Yeah.
- I hate you.

I missed you too, Flor.

Whoever followed me, whoever's
out there could be the k*ller

who took out Spider. (CLEARS THROAT)

Or, uh...

K*llers. Plural.

I got another guy coming
up the south side.

ASAP.

Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hey.

Hey! What... (STAMMERS)

You... Wait, you're...

You're a-a-a Ranger now?
When did that happen?

- RANDALL: Yeah. Two weeks ago.

Yeah. There was a barbecue?

(CHUCKLES): The bar...
The barbecue was for you?

- RANDALL: Yeah.
- WALKER: Dude, good on you.

Um, what are, what are, what
are... what are you doing here?

James got me following your ass.

It's a good thing. We got company.

Guys. Morgan's out there. Del Rio.

He might have made me,

and I think he's here to clean up shop.

But I think I still might have a chance.

- I need to get back out there.
- WALKER: No, no,

- no, no, no. Wait, wait, what?
- I'm close

to connecting with Serano,

proving he's behind the Austin sh**ting

and shutting this whole damn thing down.

Look, Morgan was back at the
bar when Spider was k*lled.

If my cover was blown,

he would have taken me down then.

- Trust me on this.
- Uh...

I am too close to turn back.

- Or maybe you're just too close.

Okay, look, now's a good
time to call the play.

Okay. This will only hurt for a minute.

Don't move.

- GERI: Side Step.

Hey, Geri. It's Bonham Walker.

- Hey.
- BONHAM: Yeah, listen,

I'm guessing there's a
whole flock of Davidsons

sitting there right now looking
pretty gloomy at the bar.

- Yes, sir.
- BONHAM: Well, we're supposed

to have some kind of a family
summit per Cordell.

Hmm. And let me guess.

- He's-he's a no-show.
- BONHAM: There it is.

- Mm-hmm.
- BONHAM: Geraldine,

would you please give
the Davidsons a round,

put some food in that boy of theirs

and, well, hell, put it on our tab?

We're gonna put this whole
thing to rest for the night.

Of course, sir.

You know I'm a Walker
through and through.

Thank you, darling.

- Morgan tailed you here.
- And now

- he's in custody. Thank you for that.
- Sure.

Yeah, I mean, that bought
you a couple hours, right?

Couple days, maybe?

But when he gets out, you don't
think he's gonna tell them

about Yvette De la Cruz's escape?

Or what about the fact

that Serano clearly has no trouble

- picking off his own people?
- Yeah.

I considered all of this, Walker.

Believe it or not, I've trained for it,

the same as you, and I
am telling you I'm close.

Serano's suspicious, fine.

One of his men just disappeared.

Morgan is gonna smell like
a big, fat traitor to him.

- Until he gets out and talks.
- Or I get

to Serano first, which is what
I've been trying to do. For you.

- Yeah, I know.
- I figured.

Figured. And you're pissed.

But guess what? We did it

because we know what
you would have done.

- No. You don't know me. (CHUCKLES)
- No? No?

- No, you don't...
- I actually

hate how much I know.

The way you were when you came back.

All dark and rogue and unhinged,

you name it. I know.

And maybe worse, I get it.

Which is why I can't
let it happen again.

Exactly. And I can't, either.

So why the hell would I let you

- do the same damn thing to yourself?
- (PHONE CHIMES)

Well,

it's on.

Serano just asked me to dance.

- WALKER: Me and Micki are both in Del Rio now.
- I don't know.

Keeping you in sounds like
too much of a risk, Micki.

They'll have a -hour
hold on Morgan, maybe.

What if he talks?

If he talks, he still
doesn't know my name.

I kicked Walker's ass, and I ran.

Uh, that was a plan we made together.

We had talked about it beforehand.

- Mm.
- DENISE: Which was smart.

I think Ramirez stays in.

WALKER: Okay. Then I'm in, too.

Uh, only if...

we close this together.

- (MOUTHS)
- Just don't start any fires, Cordi.

Yep. (CLEARS THROAT)

I'm sorry, Coach.

Man, do I wish you were
still my star player.

What're you getting yourself
into, Little Walker?

(EXHALES)

I think I'm still messed-up

about stuff that happened last year.

- That's fair.
- And when it comes

to family, it's just like
I get aggro now.

I just... I don't want
something to happen again.

Yeah, I-I get that.

And, also, I'm supposed to think

about college and decide
my entire, like, life path?

How do I do that?

Well, there are steps.

It's a process, Stella.

Yeah, but people have
been processing this

for a very long time
and have jobs lined up

for, like, .

Look,

there are always people like that.

Doesn't mean that's the correct answer

on the quiz of life.

Not to sound cheesy.

It did, though.

- Just a little bit. (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah, it did.

Stel,

I went through three jobs
in the past year alone.

It's okay to take a minute
to figure things out.

Okay.

I'm just... I'm freaking a little

because my dad didn't come home

last night, which never feels great.

AUGUST: Stella, don't worry.

It's a case case, not
a Duke case, all right?

- He's coming back.
- Who's Duke?

- I don't really want to talk about Dad.
- COLTON: Yeah, I don't want

- Awesome. Let's not talk about either of them.

We'll all be better off.

I really do. How you care for the land.

I'll have to ask your advice

that we weren't able to make it.

It's all good.

So,

Well, we've been gone
from here too long.

It matters to family.

- You understand.
- Yeah.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah. Yeah. Certainly
a lot of work to do.

There was, uh, chaos around here,

I heard.

That never looks good.

And the barn.

Well...

No one ever did rebuild that barn.

(EXHALES) Well...

when I start the gardens.

Yeah, you...

You know what you're doing.
