Walt (Robert Taylor) has his check up at the hospital, as the hunters gather in the woods with Omar (Louis Herthum) and speak of Walt, as we flashback to what they say which corresponds with what Walt is doing. Dan (David Burke) prominent CEO of a Nebraska drug company, who has been targeted by conservationists, is adamant the only way the pharmaceutical company will bring jobs to Absaroka County is if they get rid of Walt, which let's face it won't be too difficult they believe since he's got that civil suit brought by Barlow's estate. Which is meant to be a secret but everyone knows about it. That county is too small by far and Walt is too well known.
Walt takes his file to Cady (Cassidy Freeman) who's fixing up her office by herself and she tells him she can't be his lawyer cos she's his daughter and if she does represent him, then it will prove everything that lawsuit is stating: corruption and all the rest of it. Walt is disappointed thinking she's taking sides cos she can work for Nighthorse but not defend her father. She recommends a lawyer to him, David Milgrom (Patch Darragh) who's meant to be good. Though Walt has left his response to the suit a little late. He meets with Milgrom but looking at his file he doesn't have much to say aside from looking at the photos of the deceased Barlow and sees he was stabbed and shot. Walt adding he shot him but Barlow stabbed himself. However Walt is busy on the disappearance of Dan from the woods whilst hunting and a search finds Pinkie (Chris Connor) but not Dan. Pinkie is tied to the tree with duct tape (MacGyver had a hand in it ha!) and a tracking collar round his neck after being tranquilized. Dan's dog was also tranquilized.
Walt tells Ferg (Adam Bartley) to take him to hospital after he removes the collar from him and he doesn't know who did it or he was tied around the tree and Ferg should contact Dan's wife. Obviously Ferg would be more than happy to take him to hospital since he can see beth?? or not, as he later leaves flowers for her. Walt talks with Pyper (Debra Christofferson) who's a conservationist and she's happy Dan is kidnapped but there's no ransom demands and she speaks of the collar and how it's used to track wolves. Telling them of the Judas wolf and how it's tracked using the collar after its entire pack is killed and it finds another pack to join and the same thing is done again. So take it that collar didn't have an forensics on it then.
Ferg checks out Dan's house and finds a package from Omaha where Walt later flies with Omar and it contains a guinea pig sent by Cara (Shannon Lucio). Abel (Peter Jason) tells Walt that she took part in a clinical trial of their meds but signed a waiver. She claimed of side effects ten years later but the judge threw the case out of court. His son Jarrod (Brad Beyer) comes to pick him up. And he was my suspect alert, otherwise why bother showing him. Abel needing to use the loo before he leaves. Ruby (Louanne Stephens) finds messages on the computer which are all awful she says and directed to Dan. Which Vic (Katee Sackhoff) finds out were posted by Pyper.
In Omaha, Cara tells them how her kidney failed and her son was born with cerebral palsy but her husband wouldn't have gone after Dan, he's away on vacation and they can't go together. Omar steals his photo from the wall which Walt berates him over. Walt and Ferg search Dan's house again and find him in bed with his kidney surgically removed. Thus concluding it had to be Abel cos he needed the loo. His son did it for him and Dan signed a waiver after the fact so Walt can't arrest him. As they find out that someone needed a kidney as the company had blood tests carried out on its 'family' of employees, but there was one match and that was Dan. But he wouldn't help. Kind of ironic and poetic justice in some ways that Abel got the kidney not by fair means but foul and that Cara suffered kidney failure and ended up in such a position with her baby. It's always the way, no justice for the poor but the rich can steal a kidney and get away with it.
This in some ways may have contributed to Walt wanting to fight his lawsuit, he's not going to let his estate get away with it just cos they have money and that makes Milgrom happy cos he'll be making money as lawyers always do.
Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) asks Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) to be Hector again and bring in Takoda (Alex Livinalli) whose been dealing drugs on the Res, leading to one of the men overdosing leaving behind his son, Lincoln, who found him. Mathias's hands are tied but Hector could do it. Henry asks why they shouldn't blame the man himself, or Nighthorse for giving them the money. Henry tells Cady he wants to adopt Lincoln, who says it will be easy cos under the Act indigenous children are more likely to be placed with indigenous families. However Henry gives Lincoln a medicine bag telling him he must help himself as well as the medicines which will help. Later this turns to tragedy as Mathias finds Lincoln has hanged himself. Henry can't believe this and makes him determined to bring in Takoda and exact revenge. As he asks Mathias for help, he tells him his hands are tied, he can only help with info and nothing else. Then it's not conducive for Mathias to know what Henry's planned. Knew he was going to destroy the heroin so that his bosses would take care of Takoda themselves. It was one way to take care of him without having to do the dirty deed himself.
