Out on the porch with Beth, he nervously spied a camouflaged figure hoisting a rifle, only to realize it was Kayce primed for another ambush. Having endured two months in a bed, he was eager to get back to running the ranch, and took exasperated glee in firing his condescendingly perky nurse. Meanwhile, John was discharged from the hospital. Unfortunately, that was kept from the audience. Chief Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) stressed the importance of finding out who'd gone after the Dutton's land, because, he said, “they’ll be coming after ours next.” Cue Chester being roped up and dragged over rough terrain by a horse, until Mo managed to extract some pertinent information from him. The mouthy bigot was revealed to be Chester Spears: a former army man who had a litany of felonies to his name. He drew the attention of bodyguard Mo, who dragged him into a back room. A big-mouthed gambler at The Painted Horse Casino intimated that he acted as the middleman, saying “I’m just a party planner, baby.

He seemed hardened enough by life to be unfazed by her characteristic hostility: after enquiring what happened to her face, she retorted, “what happened to yours, you insensitive little f-k.” Charming.

Luckily, her son Tate was handy with a firearm, and delivered a fatal shot to the assailant’s stomach just in time.
