This week we follow along while Big takes Cheese out in his cruiser for a ride-along.
So … is this where Cheese was while the rest of the crew was out visiting Uncle Brownie?
As the ride-along proceeds, we discover that Bigs job is pretty thankless.
For those unfamiliar with the ways that tribal policing operates, this depiction isnt too far from reality.
In short, the rules informing who has jurisdiction over who on reservation lands are jacked up.
Despite all this, Big does his best to fight evil in that good way.
Well, guess what, WE GET A WHOLE-ASS DEER LADY EPISODE.
Can you tell Im excited?
(Im excited.)
Then she usually tramples the guy to death.
Go Deer Lady, go!
Bigs final childhood encounter with Deer Lady occurs during his grandmothers funeral.
But with episodes like this, Im grateful for the pause.
And Im sure Deer Lady would tell you that patience is a virtue.
Theres also a Deer Lady inspired character in Stephen Graham Jones recent novelThe Only Good Indians.
Dont be a shitass!
