Walt's (Robert Taylor) still determined to find Walker (Callum Keith Rennie) and holds him responsible for Donna (Ally Walker) being missing, as he heads to the morgue, he hesitates before he takes a look at the DB under the sheet. The attendant apologizing as he thinks Walt is holding his head in prayer. He finds it's not Donna which gives him a faint glimmer of hope. He also checks out the burnt out van of hers and finds a bottle of beer which is the brand that Duncan Butler (Mac Brandt) was drinking when they went to his house. Walt heads to his work and also to his house but he and Vic (Katee Sackhoff) find he's not there and that his employer lied about the days he was here when Walt was shot and the assault. He thinks Duncan deserves some credit for serving his country and he often had bad days where he doesn't turn up.
Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) breaks into the house where Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) has sent him and is shot at by a man. He tells Mathias that the artifact, the piece of pottery he went to retrieve wasn't there but there were several other artifacts there. Mathias is then called about the break-in and Henry realizes he used that to gain lawful entry. However when Mathias goes there, he finds there was nothing there. The artifacts are real but were stolen and now cos of Henry acting like Hector the thieves have disappeared. But he still wants Henry to help him. Otherwise he'll contact he FBI and send the blood to them. Henry also picks the gun from under the tables and waits for his chance to photograph some papers from the office. Also he''s called by Jacob but we don't know why.
Walt goes back to Sheriff Wilkin's (Tom Wopat) house after enlisting Ethan's (Josh Cooke) help and he finds Walker there. They have an altercation and Ethan is fired. Walker says if he shot him, Walt would've been dead. Which Walt believes before being told to leave. Ethan rejects Walt's job offer saying he'd be jumping from one irksome boss to another bad situation. Mainly cos of Vic really.
There's a fight at the Red Pony and Brandt takes Randal (Anthony Alabi) hostage saying he knows what's happened to Donna. Henry follows him and contacts Vic, who stops Duncan, telling Henry she doesn't know who the bad guy is. Duncan tells Walt he knows what's happened cos he was also a patient and he watched Donna to protect her. But one day she rejected his rabbit stew which he prepared personally for her , even shooting the rabbit and Vic mocks him as if she agrees with him. Walt show shim the beer bottle and tells him his fave Rainier doesn't come in bottles. He admits he freaked out and torched the van, but he didn't hurt her. Ferg (Adam Bartley) tells Walt that Adam (Sterling Beaumon) is Donna's son as he spoke to her ex and also he's a lawyer so he's angry about him being locked up without being charged. There's a voicemail on his phone and he says she never checks up on him like that and uses the word "deelio." Obviously she's being held hostage too. Ferg traces the call and finds it was made from Tamar's (Jamie Ann Allman) address. Where they find blood inside a closet and Vic apologizes for a second time, that she didn't look there.
Donna is at a gas station with Tamar and she leaves a note on the tissue for someone to find. She doesn't want to hurt her but is only protecting her. As if she needs protection which obviously must also have been triggered when Donna's van was burned. Ferg looks at the photos Walt was looking at and Walt recalls the photo in Tamar's drawer at a lake. The service station man tells them about a lake nearby and that's where Donna is being held. Tamar found the note she left and is angry. Walt and the others split up and he comes across the cabin and sees Donna. Not expecting for Tamar to see him. He is told to drop his gun and come in but he brings his spare with him and Donna tells him she's not dangerous. Yeah she only tried to shoot him. Telling Walt about Tamar's rape and he guesses it was her CO.
She thinks no one will believe she was trying to protect Donna and will turn it into some kind of twisted lesbian affair. Which Walt almost does. He gives Donna his gun and tells her she's protected now and safe. So Tamar can leave. She does and Donna doesn't want her treated like a criminal, she's traumatic. Walt talks with her and she wants to be handcuffed since she doesn't belong anywhere and doesn't trust herself. As Donna comes out, Tamar wants to take one last look at the lake, but obviously we knew she was going to jump in. She after all did try it once before. But Donna didn't notice her intention now. Walt dives in after her and Vic and Ferg end up getting them both out.
Somehow I thought this episode a little anti-climactic to the season opener. It just seemed fairly routine that Donna would be alive and that one of her patient's was behind it. It's strange how Duncan's boss said he served his country and should be cut some slack but the reverse was said by Tamar and she was right in many ways. Why shouldn't she have been given some lack too, for serving her country and then getting raped by her CO. She didn't deserve that, no one does. Walt was right though she should've told her story and most people would have understood and empathized with her. Apparently double standards still exist.
The look on Walt's face when he came out of the drink lying on that jetty said it all. Was he relieved or glad to be over that ordeal, as well as thinking what next now? Donna just doesn't seem right, sorry I have to say it, she's very volatile for him and especially with her patients. He doesn't need that kind of trouble in his life and especially not at this point either. Though makes you wonder why Donna didn't help Tamar being a doc so she's still trained in first aid and all that, even if she's a shrink.
Henry giving Mathias that ultimatum though was good to see cos people will be upset when they find out what happened to hector and really eh didn't care if he told the FBI, but deep down he was actually calling his bluff. He couldn't have Hector's name being used for such purposes when he was all about helping people.
