I'm confused as hell.

What was all that scene in Texas with Beth going down there? Then back at the ranch. No explanation between the jump.

Was that all a flashback? Did I miss something.

---

Watched the episode last night and this was my question too. Thought they went into town to spend a couple nights in a hotel and then they're just back at the ranch. And it did not seem like either were flashbacks. Particularly when the episode ended with the guys in Texas going to work without Rip.

But considering I'm still trying to figure out who stole Tate's dinosaur bones, I'm guessing an answer won't be forthcoming.

I understand that the timeline has jumped all over the place so far (and that's annoying) but I haven't really found it that hard to follow.

I did enjoy Crazy Beth quoting Gus McCrae about not wanting a poke bad enough to cheat for one.

This show is such trash but I can't stop watching what the **** was that rattlesnake drama nonsense how the **** was it on her chest and she just realized it

This show is like eating Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos - you know it's junk, it's no good for you, but it's just enjoyable.

Finally an episode with some meat! I can't believe they killed off the chick.

I can. I just don't know if it was the people that she hired to kill John or if it was Kaycee's people.

The black ops phone number she was trying to call was a 713 number lol.

Kaycee's contact earlier mentioned some group out of Houston that did the kind of work he asked about,

I'm guessing the latter

I'm guessing the former.

My thinking: that's why they showed the guy in the office in Houston watching the news and making a call. She knew right away she was in trouble from them. Too fast for Kayce to pull together.

I do admit they got me a little when she was in the house with the burner phone. You knew she was a dead woman at that point and were waiting for something to happen.

A person suddenly appears, and it's.....Jaime. It was actually nice to see him get the drop on someone for once. I was thinking he was going to take her to the train station himself, but he was back to being a ***** by the end of the episode.

Of course you knew the couple in the other car at the end were the hit team. I had not thought of the angle of Kayce arranging the hit, but that actually seems a bit out of character. If you want something out of left field, maybe Chief Rainwater?

I remember the conversation between Kayce and the black ops guy when he said "They may never know who shot him but the will know who paid them." Kayce's response was something like "yeah, when they kill them." I believe he knew, or assumed, the strike team would take out the contact, Atwood, especially after they saw the news. She would have been the only connection.

Same. I don't see any way it was Kayce. Doesn't fit from a timing standpoint and wouldn't really be his style either.

Pretty obvious that the hired killers are covering their tracks after it was re-classified as a murder.

It almost seems the new governor is the new villain? At least for the three remaining episodes?

And, if there was any doubt in Kayce's mind about whether or not Jamie was involved, this pretty much answered that question.

So which is a worse job, Beth's assistant or Jaime's assistant? I guess as Jaime's assistant you stand a lesser chance of dying.

So no way they can put Tate's name on the ranch and save it by it native law? No idea just spit balling here

Seems more and more likely that they are going to stick with how the Duttons came to acquire the land and for what period of time (from 1883). It's somehow going back to the natives and will benefit Tate, due to his heritage.

Did anyone else expect her SUV to explode as she left the house??
