Walt (Robert Taylor) confides in Vic (Katee Sackhoff) about the whole Irish mobster confrontation after Knighthorse (A Martinez) shows him a stake and an IRA flag at his house reading
"Tiocfaidh ar la" meaning, "Our day will come." With a trail of $100 chips leading to it. Walt thinks Knighthorse is covering his back but he insists he's got nothing to do with them and now they're out to get him. Walt thinks he may have set himself up as a target along with Knighthorse when he spoke with Shane Muldoon (Dylan Walsh) and told him to stay out of his county. Knighthorse adamant he does not do business with Manifest Destinations and he cancelled their contracts and ended any dealings with them. Knighthorse says Walt told him that his land is bordering in his county so that's why he called him and not Mathias (Zahn McClarnon). Besides what can Mathias do against the mob when the drugs are affecting Absaroka, even though they did find their way onto the Res cos of Malachi (Graham Greene). Walt tells Vic he took time out to go to Boston and confronted Muldoon to either get outta his county or he would turn him in to the FBI. But he can't follow through on that cos there's leak in the FBI.
Walt gets a call on Vic's phone and obviously it's about Cady (Cassidy Freeman) and the shooting. She and Asha (Chelsea Kurtz) are taken in for questioning by Mathias. Cady warn Asha not to speak without a lawyer and Mathias tells her they're not suspects or arrested, it's not an interrogation, they're only making a statement. Cady asks for a phonecall and later Kevin Morris (Currie Graham) turns up, Knighthorse's lawyer. He asks what happened and reluctantly she relays the facts to him and cos JP was a white man, as was she, white that is, not a man; then the 'king of the castle' defence will come into play. Even though the shooting took place on the Res and the house did belong to someone else, it was still seen as a residence. He asks if Asha will back her up and Cady says she will. Adding she saved her life and let's not forget she saved her own life too, more than Asha's.
Walt wants the fingerprinting and swab taking to be stopped and tells them she doesn't have to do that. Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) tells Mathias they went to the hospital cos Walt thought Cady had been shot and he could've told them that. Mathias's excuse of having so many things to do. Walt takes Cady home and isn't happy that Knighthorse's lawyer is representing her. He says it's Knighthorse's fault this happened and if she didn't work for him and listened to Walt this wouldn't have happened. But Cady's in no mood for a lecture after what she's been through and Walt should've just been a father in that moment and comforted her. Morris tells Cady that the DA accepted the defence and he's that good, so she won't be charged. Also Asha won't be a witness cos JP died. At the office she finds a line of people wanting her help and Mandy (Tamara Duarte) takes it upon herself to act as her assistant and took $20 retainer from them all. She shot a white man so she can't be all that bad is their thinking. Cady can't deal with them now and walks out. Wanting to speak with Asha who wants nothing to do with her.
Walt tells Vic and Ferg (Adam Bartley) to find any new people coming into the towns from Boston and Vic and Ferg divide the areas up after Vic loses her cool with Ferg, over not knowing if she's pregnant or not. As they follow some men they find out about, Vic buys a pregnancy test. Yeah could that shop keeper be any louder!! Ain't it always the way. They do the same thing with sanitary products, when they're the ones who get embarrassed by them also!
Walt returns and tells them about Cady and looks at their photos. He tells Vic he's hired Eammon (Josh Cooke) to look out for Knighthorse and he sees the photo of a man's back. Obviously that was Muldoon and he's checked into the motel under the name of Knighthorse's business partner before he killed himself and used Knigthhorse's old name before he changed it. He gets into Knighthorse's motel room and someone slips a note nunder the door. Meeting Shane, he thanks him for the trout and says he should've bought lobsters with him. He says he and Walt had an understanding, informal and he weighed it up and the profits aren't enough for him to stay in Absaroka, so he's taking business elsewhere. Also showing him a photo of Eddie, whom he says he took care of and he can't squeal to the FBI now. Walt mentions being the target and Muldoon says he'll leave him alone, mentioning Cady and Vic, who he says he probably left the envelope with.
Henry calls Cady and says he wants to see her and give her something if he can find it. Stroke of genius luck, he finds the eagle feather, but also the ledger when he sees the painting is hanging crooked in the Red Pony office. Here he finds the ledger choc full of Manifest Destinations entries and others too. He goes to see Knighthorse and Eammon accosts him cos he won't tell him what's in his bag. Henry tells Knighthorse, "I've been racially profiled." He shows him the ledger and now they have Malachi where they want him. However Malachi tries to get one better on them when he tells Walt it was all Knighthorse and although he told the mob he wouldn't deal with them, he sent Malachi back to make a deal. Walt doesn't know what to think now and he tells Walt to meet him later at night and he'll give him proof.
As Walt confronts Knighthorse again and accuses him of mob dealings, they're shot at and Eammon is shot in the knee. With Walt getting wt having to get him out of the pool! Ahh a wet Walt and still with his shirt on!! Ha. Knighthorse pulls out his gun and he goes after the shooter. Ferg finds bullet casings in a patch nearby. As Walt says when Ferg was shot there were plenty of casings scattered everywhere, but here they're all in one place. He doubts if Knighthorse is lying after all. Henry is given a gun by Knighthorse as they confront Malachi and he tries to convince Henry it was all Knigthhorse, as he tried with Walt. He's more Indian than the two of them put together. Knighthorse talks of banishment from the land for wrongdoings and tells Malachi not to return here. He cuts Malachi's face so everyone will know what he's done. Henry finally gets him to sign the Red Pony back over to him. As Walt gets ready to meet Malachi. He puts on a vest and Vic follows him too, telling him he should be careful and with the mob after him, he didn't notice he was being followed. Walt says he's doing things differently now cos the old ways and doing things the same way doesn't work anymore. She grabs a vest and comes with him too.
Henry asks Mathias for the gun and says he's done him enough favours and wants this one in return. Mathias adding he owes him another favour now. He puts the eagle feather on the gun and returns it to Cady. Saying that in his tribe feathers are handed down to families and he wants her to have it cos she's his family. I said that, he's there for her more than Walt, as he doesn't let her be her own person. Yes he cares and he worries but sometimes that's just not enough. As she tells hims he wanted him to help her serve the order on JP but he didn't help her. Vic speaks with Eammon and he's looking for other work. She wants to know what he thinks about them and you know she wants to tell him about the baby.
Well everything was happening in this ep and even if it seemed like things were moving too fast, you did get satisfaction at Malachi being sent packing and Henry getting his place back. But wondering what Walt will do now as he told Henry he wouldn't wait long for this to happen. He can't get hold of Malachi now can he. What's the mob going to do with Malachi, if anything, since he didn't deliver on Hector and ridding him. But can't help and think Muldoon isn't really gone like that. Still two more eps to wrap things up for this season. Still have Walt's lawsuit to go yet. But Walt seems to dredge up trouble wherever he goes, even if he doesn't go looking for it, he finds it anyway.
