“Shake that apple tree, you never know what will fall,” Captain James tells Walker and Micki at the end of “Don’t Fence Me In,” and oh hey! That conversation line summarizes all the plots and subplots in this fourth episode of Walker: Micki ‘s suspicions about reputable colleague Monty (Patrick Kirton) and his swift investigation into the murder of Mr. Harlan, the head of a sizable oil company near Austin; Walker realized that his mother was having a rocky relationship with his father; and Augie stuck in Walker’s box of undercover material, meaning he texted Walker’s female communication from those 10 months he was working out of town after Emily’s murder. All, however Walker I could not write back the shiny gold cowboy prostitute from last week? For. My shame.
In reality, however, “Don’t Fence Me In” is one of the best events Walker So far. There’s no doubt that the series still does too much within each program; in addition to Micki / Walker ‘s study of Harlan’ s family, any other element from this week could be built up over time. Abeline traded passionate letters with Gary from the bird feeder store? Take it out! Augie is curious about his father’s time away, and starts spouting into his stuff? Take it out! Micki still struggles with the need to prove herself as the only Latina woman among the mostly white, white Rangers, and that is exacerbated by a young American woman from Mexico saying it is a sign Is she a “gringa”? Take it out! It is clear that Walker he’s interested in the long-happened-to-Emily game (especially once Liam learns that Captain James drew watch photos that were included in his case file), but he doesn’t have to all programs to work as a complete reset before the next one.
Like these lines, however, I find it difficult to report that not even a reference of Hoyt this week. He was supposed to be Cordell ‘s best childhood friend and another son for Abeline! No one laments the absence of this humble man? It’s just me? Bonham doesn’t even take the chance? I am a disappointment in the whole Walker family!
“Don’t Fence Me In” begins with Texas Ranger Monty calling for backing: He discovers that Harlan Oil’s boss has been murdered, and the man he saw committing the crime has escaped the view. When Micki and Walker run the suspect down and “pull him,” cutting him off to catch him, they find the man, American Enzo Carillo, already suffering from head injuries before arresting him. Enzo used to be associated with the Olvidados gang, Monty says, and he clearly went back with them for some reason to kill Harlan and steal his money, and that seems to be the case. closed. Toast to work well done, toast to Monty’s 30 years at work, and keep moving.
G / O Media may receive a commission
But when Captain James pushes Micki in front of a press conference to announce more details about Enzo’s arrest, Micki meets Enzo’s daughter, Delia, who is upset that Latina Micki is standing with the Rangers against Enzo, and against, as Micki sees it, Mexicans in general. She swears that her father would never have committed this crime, and whether the show is a bit of a “minority model” that makes Delia a pre-middle student, so it would be maintains her father’s innocence more trustworthy? Yup! It’s not good! Have we all forgotten Better luck tomorrow so soon?
Anyway, Delia maintains that Enzo was Mr. Harlan’s enthusiastic rhyming hand, and tells Micki and Walker that Mr. Harlan would hang out with them all the time. – serving her quinceañera, trying to speak Spanish at their social events, and being generally okay dude (but that’s not okay, I believe, to pay Enzo more) or cut Delia medical school cost… hm). Delia’s certainty of her father’s innocence encourages Micki and Walker to take another look at Harlan’s own family, including his wife, played by OG Aunt Zelda Beth Broderick, and her awesome, cashmere-like Coachella ponchos come to life. And when Micki sees a family resemblance between Mr. Harlan and Enzo as they sketch their faces (… I have nothing pithy to say here, I’m just confused by this element of her character development), and when the participants puncture Mrs. Harlan’s alibi by learning that she belongs to Monty, all the pieces fall into place. Mrs. Harlan and Monty conspired to kill Mr. Harlan, who was suspected of being involved and changed his will to leave everything to Enzo’s secret son; when Enzo stopped their murder, unaware that Mr Harlan was his father, Monty killed him before Enzo got in his car and tried to drive away. With a disgraced Monty and Ms. Harlan also arrested, the entire Harlan estate goes to Delia. Three calls for a Outdoor knives ends!
It may be foolish to accept it Walker this would have given Micki a real reflection on her chosen career and the nature of the police in this country, but even still, that wonderful situation that Trey uses for her comfort – about a “little brown girl” which Micki sees on TV and “I want to be you” – this is great yikes. As Walker tells her she did nothing wrong because she was just doing her job; how Delia later accepts Micki when she receives Harlan ‘s payment; as is the news that Enzo was already on his way to death before Micki killed him with her car when he went after her. That allows Micki to continue as the good cop to Cordell “Off the Books” Walker, whose domestic life moves back to this week.
Can Cordell ever rest? He first realized that his parents’ marriage was so rocky that his mother had feelings for another man. He then learns that Stella Bel ‘s friend’ s parents are now on ICE radar after Bel and Stella were arrested for possession of marijuana. Stella then throws her at the stables where she does community service as she is too busy courting the CW version of Timothée Chalamet. And Augie develops a picture of Walker with another non-Emily woman, and then texts that woman – Twyla Jean – once he picks up Walker’s old phone he used while looking wrong. So many questions here! Like why Augie is so cute! And why Walker kept a firing phone after his work ended! You have to destroy that stuff right away! And why don’t you store your hidden devices, I don’t know, at work, where your troubled TV teenagers can’t find it? Duke Culpepper should know better.
Wrong thoughts
- Emily’s personality renewal: She used to snore. That’s what we get this week about Walker’s beloved wife, and not much!
- “Muskrat” is a terrible nickname. Heavy horrible.
- How old should Micki be? She met Trey while in the army together. She then spent eight years with the Austin Police Department. Mid-30s, perhaps? I only ask because her house is beautifully decorated and I really appreciate it and I am trying to figure out when that level of domestic maturity will be. happening in my life!
- Did anyone believe that the first place we would get into was a non-car product Walker wants to paint Benjamin Moore and their Color Pack app? I didn’t have that in my “weird 2021” bingo card.
- Jalapeño pepper jam is a great condiment for a charcuterie board. Put it on a biscuit with some dried apricots and some soppressata and change your life.
- I now realized that the Walkers friend, Stan Morrison – had something to do with Emily ‘s murder, right? – Played by Jeffrey Nordling, the only actor Laura Dern ‘s terrible husband Big Little Lies. I knew this guy had an easily recognizable face!
- If you are interested in learning more about body flowers, the internet tells me their Latin binomial name, Amorphophallus titanium, translating to something like… big misshapen penis? So that’s fun!
