Did weneedthree episodes with Jamie as commish?

Kayce nods at that, but warns, Youre gonna hate the way I do it.

Kayce also has a dramatic role to play in this episodes main subplot.

All for Nothing begins with a family on the reservation realizing their eldest daughter Sila is missing.

Chief Rainwater asks Kayce for help with the search, and Kayce does two smart and sensitive things.

First, he calls in every available livestock agent, and tells them to leave their weapons behind.

(We aint enforcing no laws today, he says.)

Theyre like a parasitic bacterial infection: chronic and incurable.

(Even Lloyd is now smitten with one of these gals.)
