As Walt (Rob Taylor) plays a few notes on the piano, Branch (Bailey Chase) shoots a rabbit dead, aww wasically wabbit!  (Sorry!) and then lights it on fire along with some of his hair.  Walt stops playing and turns over the papers on the piano which show suspects in his wife's murder case.  A man runs from the woods and Ferg (Adam Bartley) waits for Walt and Vic (Katee Sackhoff) to arrive.  He found the DB of their leader, Adam.  He shows them the spot and they find other people on the same group camp are also missing.  The group leader who owns the business, Susan Taylor (Abby Brammell) and her husband, Charlie (Matthew Thompkins) whistle out to them, but only one whistle is returned.  Adam was killed when his head landed on the stone and nothing that Marshall (Lynn Andrews) did to him, such as giving him first aid would've helped.  Others are found and are taken back to the station.  They speak of Wolverine, real name Trey (Dustin Ingram) who was a rowdy one and some of them were afraid of him.  Ferg finds a missing girl down a ravine and Walt must go down and rescue her, using whatever he's got, which turns out to be handcuffs acting as a carabiner on the rope.  She tells him about Wolverine and how she thought he'd rape her and so stumbled too far off the edge.  Some people were afraid of Adam.  Ferg shows Walt Wolverine's sketchbook with bloody drawings in it.

Vic's husband, Sean (Michael Mosley) shows Walt a photo he got in the mail with the number 32 on the back, when Walt and Vic were in Arizona and she's laughing by the door.  Walt says he doesn't have anything to worry about from him, but he'll only be getting a restraining order for Gorski (Lee Tergesen) then.  Vic was erm, following a pattern of behaviour here in actually going after her superior officers.  Granted she was a rookie back then, but she's not now and yet she can't help but pine for Walt too.  Once again her boss and superior!  Walt tells her about the photo and she says she'll talk with Sean but she drinks at the Red Pony instead.  She tells Walt she hasn't spoken to Sean yet but he's used to her working 24 hour shifts anyway.  Also as the flashback showed, she and her boss had an affair.  She backed out of it, got married but he still pursued it.  32 was their rendezvous number for their apartment.  Vic speaks with Sean and he tells her maybe their marriage is over, that was the impression of course, since she wasn't that happy with him for a long time as she was with Walt in the photo.

At the hospital doc Weston (Scott Michael Campbell) tells Walt the DNA results aren't in yet and finds out Branch ordered some tests done.  Walt tells Branch he carried out the same tests on the ash and the DNA results came back belonging to David Ridges.  Branch replies the test was done on his own DNA, so it's possible to burn an animal with your own DNA and still be alive.  Walt's going to reopen the case after he's solved this one and Branch gets some rest.  Ruby (Louanne Stephens) gets a call about Henry's (Lou Diamond Phillips) monitor and Branch picks him up.  Telling him he owes him as he paid his bail money, wanting to know about peyote dealers in the area.  He later stakes out the place with Travis (Derek Phillips) and kidnaps the dealer, aka the White Warrior, Sam (Hank Cheyne).

Wolverine's mother is worried about her son and the phone rings, Walt sees it's a local number and asks her where he is, as she tries to smash her phone.  Trey's arrested and picks a fight with Marshall, adding he's got a juvenile record for assault.  He tells Walt about Adam and how everything in the backpacks matched, except Adam had condoms.  They we e only supposed to take things that they use.  Susan tells him Adam was a good leader and she went on the trail with him many times, as Charlie walks out saying Adam was a liability and he told her that.  She had an affair with Adam. Walt speaks with Charlie saying he followed her and he killed Adam cos he cleaned up after himself.  Asking if he should tell her or if he wants to.

Henry learning he's indebted to Branch, doesn't ask why he paid the remainder of his bail money, but does give him drinks on the house as he's already paid for them.  As said, Vic was fooling herself thinking she could have any romantic with a Walt even if she does have a thing for him.  How real are her feelings if she keeps falling for older men (meant in a nice way cos Walt's not that old).  Walt getting out of his office cos he doesn't want Sean to find them there together.  As he was thinking of Vic and she should salvage her marriage.  It's good to see how the two different stories, usually in the show are sometimes relate in terms of having the same subject matter, such as Vic having an affair back then and Susan having one too, leading to murder out of jealousy and Sean is a bit like that too. He's very possessive of Vic.
