Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) sets up a punching bag and boxes, aiming to prepare himself for taking on Gab's (Julia Jones) attackers. As one of them is found dead at the oil rig after drowning in 3" of mud and being hit by a pipe. It could be an accident or it could be Henry, or someone else of course. At the office Walt (Robert Taylor) gets messages which we know are from the doc, with Vic (Katee Sackhoff) being nosy and asking Ruby (Lou Anne Stephens) who they're from. She tells her to mind her own business and so she should, but later on when she's in his office she finds a note in the bin and looks through his drawer, finding post-its with a message saying the doc called. Of course it was obvious Vic wouldn't and couldn't leave things alone. I mean she should face it, he doesn't want her or is interested in her so don't prolong the agony.
Zachary (Barry Sloane) thinks maybe one of the law officers could be behind it whilst going through suspects and Ferg (Adam Bartley) thinks it could be the man who found him if he lost out on a promotion. Walt and Vic drive to Cumberland County to view the DB and Sheriff Jim Wilkins (Tom Wopat) allows them to question the workers and Walt will owe him two favours. The foreman, Walker (Callum Keith Rennie) tells them he was promoted and he was only working as a roughneck before. Eamon )Josh Cooke) who accompanied them for good will thinks that Vic should investigate the trailer and they find Archer (Lew Temple) who was the man that had the DB of the woman in his bag is missing.
Walt wants to find out if Gab's father, Sam Poteet (Hank Cheyne) will speak with him and if Nighthorse (A Martinez) will give him permission to talk with him as he's doing things the right way, after getting Ferg and Zachary to draw up a list of Gab's relatives. Nighthorse thinks that Zachary's influence is rubbing off on him, at least his calmer nature. But he won't let him speak to Sam cos whenever something happens the Cheyenne are always accused and they don't get any justice, so he's looking out for the little people. Walt telling him that's new cos last week he was handing out loans to people via Malachi and then beating them up and stealing their money back so they can't pay them off. Nighthorse doesn't deny so much knowing what's happening, whether it's with his approval or not. He tells him to leave.
Walt having paid a visit to Gab with Henry to inform her finds that her mother's gone on holiday and bought her a TV. She asks which one is killed and she doesn't know he's dead. Cady (Cassidy Freeman) catches Henry washing mud off his clothes and his truck at work and he says it's car trouble. She's got a job helping someone on the Res and it was silly of Henry to make himself so obvious when there must be a thousand deserted and off the track places where he could've washed the mud away, wherever it came from. Which will have ramifications when later Cady finds out from Vic that the rapist was found in mud. She loses her temper at Henry and accuses him of the killing. He denies it and tells her once again that he had car trouble and after everything that she and these people did for him when he was in prison, he wouldn't throw it back at them and she thinks the same.
Ferg is jealous of Zachary and the fact that he gets a promotion in that he's able to ask his questions and put forward ideas. He decides to change the order of his name on the board outside. As Vic catches him but then he catches her in Walt's office, each agreeing they didn't see anything. Zachary and Walt get into the casino to question Sam and he tells them she is his daughter but if Hector did do it then they need an army to settle the scores and the injustices against the Cheyenne. Malachi's security throws them out. Walt also having words with Henry about 'Hector Lives' after he sees the graffiti on a burned out car. Telling Henry he doesn't look too surprised and Henry replies that is his surprise face. That Hector living is an idea in peoples' minds and he lives in that way. Don't think Walt bought that but he had no reason not to believe Henry.
Eamon brings by the report saying the sheriff ruled the death an accident and especially since the oil company was putting pressure on him. On top of that, he adds that he did have a tooth missing as Ferg asked him. He'll fax over the coroner's report. Walt also telling them he and Henry used to work on a rig in Prudhoe Bay (Ice Road Truckers territory, ha) and he wouldn't have been promoted already, it'd take at least three years or more. Vic goes looking for Archer and spots a hit on an online escort agency. He calls her to arrange a meeting and she arrests him.
Archer reluctantly tells them he knew Will had spoken with Walker and he was promoted but he thinks he was killed for what he knew about the company and they'd probably be after Archer now for what they think he knew about the company. Walt knows where he'd find them and sends Zachary to the casino cos he hasn't been drinking alcohol whereas Ferg has, just as Ferg's been trying to make amends for his treatment of him. Zachary saying it's hard for him to fit into their family. At the Res party they arrest Trot (Aaron McPherson) cos he killed Will. There were traces of mud in his throat and lungs which means he was still alive when he was killed. Also Henry shows up to exact his revenge on Tyler (Nick E Tarabay) which as know involved tooth pulling and not murder. None of the acts he carried out on behalf of Hector involved any killing.
However Gab turns up with a gun and shoots him leaving the gun behind when Henry tells her to run. They hear the shots and Walt checks it out. He fires at Henry running away, obviously not knowing it's Henry. Leaving up yet more possibilities of whether Henry has actually been shot or not, where he'd go for help, obviously the Res perhaps, or whether Walt will find out what he's doing as well. Seems Henry's always caught in the middle and can't seem to get things going his way ever since he returned from prison, such as losing his bar and having to work as a lackey for Malachi. Now he's picked up Hector's mantle, things have gone from bad to worse.
