Im breaking a lot of story rules, he said.
Ill jump the plot ahead for no reason whatsoever except that I wanted to and its entertaining.
Its every old western and new western and soap opera thrown together in a blender.
And yes, I think it infuriates and confounds some people who study storytelling.
They dont understand why this things such a hit.
By the time he makes it back home, though, he has lost too much blood.
He collapses inside, and we hear Margaret wailing.
This must be the day Johns great-grandfather died.
Weve lingered on the Four Sixes Ranch far longer than I wouldve expected.
Was anybody dying to see Jimmys date with Emily this episode?
The most interesting thread here is Jimmys questioning of his identity as a cowboy.
Does he really deserve that title?
According to Emily, he does, especially with the boss of Waggoner Ranch knowing his name.
Maybe if you spend enough time pretending to be a cowboy, you become one for real.
Almost all of the actual plot movement in this episode happens with Beth.
Summers group, Free Earth, is protesting the new airport Market Equities is building.
That story happens later in the episode, when state and federal agents come to arrest the protesters.
And if Beths tip to theTimesmeans anything, that should be coming soon.
Just dumping it right on the damn fire.)
John describes this as revenge for something, though he cant say what.
Does Beth resent him for making them move in?
In the end, Rips fix is quick: All they needed to do was switch rooms.
Theres certainly more going on with Beth and Market Equities than the race for governor.
But theres really no other progress with this besides John and Jamie agreeing to meet later on.
Sheridan seems to have totally forgotten that Kayce asked Jamie to meet with Riggins several episodes ago.
Do Kayce and John still think all this was orchestrated by someone they dont even recognize?
The Last Roundup
Carter Corner: He eats steak with cake.
And he got a haircut.
No bunkhouse scenes this week!
I wouldnt be surprised if he eventually backs out and picks a different candidate to replace Jamie.
Im happy for them, but its about time to reintroduce Kayce to the main narrative, right?
Does he even know his dad is running for governor (and against Kayces brother, at that)?
Is our John the third in a line of Johns?
