The tribal police have Kayce and want him to tell them about the two burned bodies. He asks for a lawyer. Rainwater says lawyers are in short supply on the reservation. Kayce tells them about the abducted girl. Jamie shows up and gets Ben to admit he traded clips with Kayce and takes Kayce home. Kayce is surprised to hear his family is at the ranch.

Rip goes to the prison and calls over a guy in a cowboy hat who has just been released. The guy, Walker, was in for manslaughter after puniching a man who died.

However, Monica turns it down because she doesn't want to leave the reservation short a teacher, and she doesn't care that John doesn't understand that.
