Walt (Robert Taylor) piles Rainier cans on top of one another building a tower as he and Donna (Ally Walker) ponder the next step of their relationship, which I wouldn't really call burgeoning! As he says the cans will warn him if anyone opens the door or breaks it down, in the throes of passion, somehow I don't think so! As they make their way into the bedroom, he forgets the rifle and then leans it against the bed, so it falls and goes off. He then decides he'd have more luck acting like a teenager and takes Donna to a secluded patch in the Bronco, where the view has more exciting prospects on offer. Another awkward moment as there's not enough room and no one can get a leg over. Guess that idea was abandoned then. As Walt is called to a CS or potential CS.
Two treasure hunters have found a DB in the hollow of a tree and they think he was there hunting for treasure as written in a poem, which is available on line and it mentions Absaroka County. Walt is shown the poem by Jim (Don Swayze). As the DB is pulled out there's no treasure or ID and Walt notices the tattoo on the DB's arm, "Tizz." Vic (Katee Sackoff) arrives eating a bagel and says they finally have a bagel shop. Walt recognizes the name and questions Tizz, who is Elizabeth and was given that name in college. He was her husband, Tony and her mother, Nancy (Bess Armstrong) basically says good riddance to a gold digger, as she should never have married him to begin with. Vic feeling queasy now and somehow you know it's not cos of the bagel either! She later gets lots of ginger ale and a pregnancy test which she throws away. After she throws up on Spence's (Jake B Miller) sandals. Eeww when will they stop having those scenes, I mean there was a river right behind her.
Walt does a search on the two treasure hunters, one's a professor of modern poetry, Tom (Mike Damus) and Jim is in a newspaper headlines. His investigation leading him to some firemen, Raul (Joey )Abril who the treasure hunters mention. He was in a gang and they're all from LA so that they keep out of trouble by learning something. Raul says he was also part of a gang and he reformed after he came here. Which should've sent flashing lights to Walt but didn't. His boss, Hal (Matthew Alan) mentions Tony and he kinda knows him cos he was worthless and no good to his wife. They had a party at the house and Raul recalls that too, the rich people. Again it was pretty strange that they both know him but wouldn't really say much, though Raul kept giving lots away by being a little too helpful and also he knew too much about the hollow tree and how they must've lowered ropes down to put the DB in. Just like he was giving a play by play account of something he'd dome. So immediately you get Nancy and him as the suspects.
Walt sends Ferg (Adam Bartley) to Colorado Springs to check out Tony's house and he takes Meg (Mary Wiseman) with him, buying her a Colorado Springs watch, which she loves. At his house he breaks the door down (show off ha!) and the place is completely empty aside from the bed and Ferg finds a mini Eiffel Tower. He also tells Walt he should've told him about Meg but he didn't spend the County's money on her. Walt also mentions to Vic that he's settling the lawsuit (guess his attorney hasn't broken the news to him yet - what's he doing?) and she tells him that's not like him.
The Eiffel Tower is a charm from a bracelet and Nancy was wearing that so she was either sleeping with him, which she resents, cos she hated him, well you know what they say about love and hate being close emotions, or she got someone to do the dirty deed, which is more her style. She tells Tizz that Tony told her he'd take her inheritance and had hired a lawyer and she couldn't let him do that, even if Tizz still loved him. He didn't want her and Spence told Vic that Tony was nothing more than a gold digger and was having an affair, that's how he met Tizz in the first place. He went after her. Walt arrests Raul who says that was him all those years ago but he's changed now. Yeah a little too late. As for the treasure Walt tells that there's some mountains called the same, Absaroka, but they're pronounced differently, so there's no treasure in the county and the poem had more syllables in that line.
Walt organizes another date with Donna and she invites shim to her place cos they'd have more room. Walt spills wine and she should've got beer. He says it's corny but he and his wife waited til they got together and he'd rather just watch a movie. So what's with the Bronco scene and re-living his teems. Hmm so he was reckless as a teen, but when he met his wife he wanted to wait until marriage. Well okay it would make it that much more special then. Donna understands and he mentions she just got him here to get him drunk.
Cady (Cassidy Freeman) has her own problems with Asha (Chelsea Kurtz) and JP (Roderick Hill) and he doesn't stick to the restraining order. As he calls her and leaves a message saying he's sorry and wants her back. Cady gets clothes from Asha's house and under the pretence of telling him what he shouldn't do. She then sees booze bottles around the place and he gets violent after she leaves. He later comes for her and he shows her a pin from AA showing his sobriety. Cady tells Asha that it's a one year pin and you don't get it until one year has passed. What was he doing trying to fool a lawyer.
She asks Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) if he had a woman stashed here when Walt came to search for her and he asks how she knows that. It was when her and Walt used to talk. Cady wants him to look after Asha at his apartment since she wants a new start and wants to feel safe, which as Hector he would offer but he can't tell her who he is. Later JP returns with a gun after drinking and threatens them. He disconnects the landline and Cody manages to load the rifle Nighthorse gave her. Yet she didn't expect trouble from an outsider rather than Natives on the Res. She manages to shoot him once and then he comes at her again. More shots are fired. I was thinking Henry would've come and rescued her. But as 911 wasn't available she should've known to call Walt before 911.
Didn't much like this ep and it ranks as my least fave out of all 5 seasons which must be saying something. It was kinda routine case with obvious suspects and you knew JP would return and show what he's like again, which Cady should've been more observant of. How come that kitchen didn't have another door or a window they could've gotten out of, well a window big enough, sure there was one there. Seems like Walt and Donna aren't destined to be together since there doesn't appear to be much chemistry there any longer. The title referring to JP telling Asha what she vowed and also kind of an allusion to Walt and Donna and yet...
