Previously on Walker...

CASSIE: A happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

And this suit. Forgive me.

Y'all know I prefer robust holiday attire.

Well, Grey Flag had other plans for your wardrobe, I guess.

WALKER: Hey, um...

What the hell was that earlier with James, Grey Flag?

We don't know what James knows or doesn't know.

We stick to our story.

I don't know who you're becoming,

but it is not a good person, and I don't like it.

WALKER: My daughter is an adult now.

And she needs to take responsibility for her actions.

Okay, you know what? Enough. It was August who threw the party.

It was August who got his sister thrown in jail.

And it was August who lost your liquor license.

You don't have to be such a bitch about it, Mawline.

What the hell did you just say?

Okay, hold on, would you, Daddy? I'll handle this.

BONHAM: Well, I guess you better handle it, Cordell,

- or by God, I will. - WALKER: Mama?

DOCTOR: What happened?

Uh, we just found her outside.

She was on the ground, unresponsive.

DOCTOR: All right, was anyone with her when it happened?

No, we just found her there.

- She was laying there. - NURSE: Coming through!

I need an IV, I need oxygen,

I need vitals, I'm gonna start a neuro check.

[indistinct chatter]

All right, she's gonna be all right.

All right, let's go wait.

- Let's go wait, okay? - All right.

Okay, ma'am?

Ma'am?

Can you do me a favor and try to lift your arms for me?

Let's see, okay.

Right arm is unresponsive.

- [monitor beeping] - Okay...

- Uh, can you finish? - NURSE: Copy that.

I'm sorry, sir, you can't be in this room right now.

- No, I'm fine, I'm fine. - No, we need some space.

I will come and get you when we're done, please.

Vitals are hooked up.

IV?

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

- Dad. - What happened?

- Is Mawline okay? - Stella.

WALKER: Uh, hey. Hey, hey.

We don't know yet, okay?

She's, she's in there with them still.

Augie, hey, buddy, come here.

Come here.

Don't worry, all right? Don't worry.

She's gonna be all right.

[door creaks open]

Hi, I'm Dr. Woodward.

- I'm treating Abeline. - What happened?

Abeline suffered a transient ischemic attack.

- What does that mean? - A T.I.A. is a temporary stroke.

In Abeline's case, a mild one.

Okay, uh, so, uh...

What's her prognosis moving forward?

There's no lasting brain damage or residual symptoms.

Looks like it resolved itself.

I do recommend rest, an aspirin regimen,

stress management, and a heart-healthy diet.

She's gonna be okay.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you. Uh, can we visit?

- Absolutely. - WALKER: Great.

But one at a time, please.

All right, all right.

- Go, go, go. Go, Dad. - Come with me.

- BONHAM: Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

[monitor beeping steadily]

This mattress was made in a quarry.

How you doing, darlin'?

I'm a little tired.

The tests they ran even need to be tested.

And imaged and the whole nine.

We're all just...

so happy that you're okay.

Boys are in the waiting room

with the kids and...

And the doctor said you're gonna be back

to your normal self in no time.

Do you remember the first time we came here?

When Cordell was born?

No.

We were still dating.

It was one of your early attempts

to woo me with your homemade spaghetti

and giant meatballs.

Which were severely undercooked.

[laughs]

Hence, our-our visit.

Oh, the good ol' days.

Don't do that.

Don't talk about the past like we don't have

much of a future, Abby.

I just meant I love and appreciate

all the times that we've had together.

Well, then, you bash my cooking some other time.

[chuckles softly]

Right now, you get some rest.

All right? Or you're gonna be laying

in this rock-hard bed forever.

I'm here.

♪ ♪

Barnett?

[grunts]

Appreciate that. Hey, Cap.

- Hey. - Any news on Abby?

Yeah, I just talked to Walker.

Either she's released today,

or there was a promise of bodily harm.

[chuckles] Yeah, that sounds like her.

Yeah, yeah.

So Walker's gonna be out of the office

in the next few days helping her recover.

I need you to work a case with Perez.

Okay. All right, cool.

Do you want me to get the details from Cass?

No. No, the opposite actually.

You're gonna fill her in.

You know who Victor Ziff is, right?

Yeah, the tech dude. Big personality?

- The one and only. - What about him?

He's missing. Left his cell phone behind,

hasn't made any contact. He just kind of...

dropped off the face of the Earth.

Troopers suspect foul play.

Well, I could think of a billion reasons why.

- Any leads? - His wife, Madison Ziff.

Right before he disappeared,

several bank accounts were drained.

Her lawyers have built a wall around her.

She's, she's not talking.

So I want you and Perez to start by looking into

where she could have hid the money.

Then we can make an arrest.

Try to get her to confess.

- All right? - Yeah.

Cap, you good?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Just follow the money.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Trey?

Look, besides the fact that we're dealing with a...

high-profile missing person,

things around here have gotten a little...

lax lately.

I need to know that I can trust

and count on my Rangers, Barnett.

So I want this done by the book. I expect you to follow

not only the spirit of the law but also the letter.

- You got it? - Yeah.

And check in with me before you make any moves.

You got it, Cap.

Ranger Perez.

Hey. What was that about?

I'll fill you in on the way.

All right, here we go. Easy, easy, easy.

- Easy. - Okay, guys.

I have lived here for...

Well, long enough to know

where every step is, so I got it.

Okay, don't be a bad patient, Mom.

Well, just slow.

- Look at these. - BONHAM: All right.

These are TEDs.

For what?

They're compression socks.

I know what they are, honey, I just...

Unless you're taking me to Paris...

is this really necessary?

[sighs] Well, they may look funny, but...

[stammers] They're supposed to be good for hypertension.

[stammers] Would you just please

wear the damn things?

I hear that they're beneficial?

- I don't know just... humor him. - Okay, fine.

But I'm... you know, I'm gonna wash them first.

Oh, will you please thank Ben

for these flowers?

Yeah, you know, I forgot that I told him that your favorite

flowers were zinnias, but

he remembered. [chuckles]

You two seem good.

Well, we... we had one hell

of a first Thanksgiving together.

[whispers]: God Almighty.

- Yeah. - [loud clattering]

What the...? What...?

- [clears throat] - Wait. Wh... I'm going.

LIAM: I can go, okay?

Dad.

What are you doing?

Why does everything have to be drowned in salt?

To make it taste better.

Well, low sodium helps reduce the risk of...

A stroke?

You can say the word, Bonham.

Honey, could you give us a second?

Yeah.

- Good luck. - ABELINE: Yeah.

What's that?

Well, I-I know everyone's still a little shook up, but, um,

in the spirit of change,

I think it's time that we discuss a hard topic.

Absolutely not. We already have a will.

I know. But it hasn't been updated in ages.

And we have a lot more stuff now.

And two grandkids. And...

we almost lost it all in a damn horse race.

So could we please just make it a little more official?

So things go to the right place.

Oh. Um...

my mother's jewelry,

I'd like Stella to have that.

And the piano-- August.

I mean, reminiscing on the past at the hospital.

Now you're talking about what's gonna happen after you die?

I don't...

[sighs] I don't want to talk about that stuff, Abeline.

No, I'm-I'm-I'm serious.

Please, just don't push it.

Excuse me.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

AUGUST: Um...

[sighs] I'm sorry, Mawline.

I d... I... I don't know how to tell you how sorry I am.

- But I... - I don't believe

that you actually meant to say what you did.

I didn't. I didn't. I swear.

I was just so mad at myself for everything

and then I said it and then...

you, uh...

What?

You think you caused that?

You are a good person

who just seems to be a little lost right now.

Lashing out like you did,

I don't think that is the right path.

But...

you're finding your own way back.

And we all say things that we regret.

[door opens]

What you're feeling...

[door closes]

...means you got a good ticker.

Okay?

Okay.

Come here.

Now, honey, would you take that into the kitchen?

- I want to talk to your dad. - Yeah.

Mama.

[inhales sharply, exhales]

Did he apologize?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay.

Well, that's good. That's a start.

Uh, but that boy's punishment is far from over.

Wait, hold on.

Before you make him go rebuild the barn on his own,

I would like you to take the kids to Dallas.

Dallas? Mama... [chuckles]

Now's not really the best time for a road trip.

I want to see my brother.

You haven't talked to Uncle Willie

in-in, what, like, 20 years? More?

I call him every Thanksgiving.

Right, right. And he never picks up.

Uh, Mama, I think it's time he showed some effort.

He's stubborn.

Yeah. [chuckles]

But...

...go talk to him.

I mean, I'd go myself, but your...

father would put me in a full compression suit.

- [chuckles] - So,

please, Cordell,

see if he'll come for a visit.

Yeah, until he became the black sheep.

Ah, good think you don't drive like your mother.

Well, we're-- we're just heading out.

Well, just hold your horses.

God, y'all act like you've been mistreated or something.

- Actually... - Uh, easy there, Pippi.

- [snorts] - I have something to say.

Okay. We're all ears.

I've been thinking about what you said yesterday,

and the truth is I... I miss my sister.

But I'm just not ready to see her yet.

I can respect that.

But I will say if this past week

has taught me anything, it's that we don't always

have the time we think we do.

You have your uncle's wisdom.

I-I was talking about me.

I-I know. I get that. [laughs]

Well, it was, it was really nice meeting you two peanuts.

Bye.

AUGUST: Well...

We tried, Dad.

I think maybe Mawline will be happy with that.

Yeah. Yeah.

[engine starts]

Well, that didn't go as expected.

At least we saved an innocent woman from going to prison.

Mm. True.

- Think she'll buy me an island? - [chuckles]

Barnett, I told you to check in with me

before you did anything. What the hell were you doing

at Ziff's warehouse?

Sir, I was the ranking Ranger.

- Am I talking to you? - No, sir, but I...

Then shut up.

I gave you very simple, very clear instructions.

What, you couldn't follow 'em?

- We heard gunshots. - That's not the damn point!

Yeah, but that's probable cause, sir.

For somebody so well-read in SOP, how is it that you have

no idea how to follow a direct order?

You know what?

Maybe making you a Ranger was a mistake.

Hey. More chores?

[scoffs] Just clothes.

And I'm lifting one T-shirt at a time, I promise.

Sure.

Uh, listen, when you're finished,

uh, dinner's ready.

It's a healthy alternative to the usual.

I'm sorry, didn't we just have this conversation?

You were gonna ease up. Remember?

But, Abby, I...

Okay, you are stressing me out.

You know, yeah-- yes, what happened to me was scary.

I've admitted it.

But if you think that I'm gonna eat

an all-lettuce diet,

or take collodial... whatever the hell,

or wear any of those monstrosities

that come all the way up to my knee,

uh, thanks, but no thanks.

[sighs]

Bo-Bonham? Um...

There she is.

♪ I remember when we used to run wild♪

♪ Young and in love with the starlight♪

Abby, I heard what you said,

and I recognize that I-I may have gone overboard

- with your recovery. - Right.

It's because I'm terrified of the thought

of continuing this life without you in it.

♪ Things aren't the same now♪

That's been my biggest fear since the day I said "I do."

You don't need to worry.

No, I...

I now recognize that those vows...

...mean walking through the difficult parts of life

just like you do the... the happy ones.

And I've been the luckiest man for so many years.

I'd sure hate to ruin that

by making you walk on eggshells now.

Well, good luck with that, anyway.

- Yeah. - [Abby laughs]

Don't I know it.

So tomorrow, I promise

that I will discuss our will,

and anything else you want to talk about.

No more fear dictating our lives.

- Okay? Hmm? -♪ We can make it♪

♪ We can take♪

♪ Your time♪

♪ If you need a hand♪

All right, who's ready for pasta?

-♪ Take mine♪ - Oh, okay.

So, uh, here. Let me get this.

Um, I made low-sodium marinara,

and the noodles are whole wheat.

And Liam made the meatballs, just in case.

-♪ I'm by your side♪ - [laughs]

-♪ Walking with you♪ - It looks delicious.

- Well, let's hope. -♪ Into the light.♪

- Ma? - Hello.

Hey.

- Hi. - There she is.

I heard someone

had quite the meal.

Oh. Well, it turns out

that healthy spaghetti is just as good

as the real thing.

- [Walker groans] - Okay, no, it's not.

But, you know, I lived.

So, how was Dallas?

Dallas, yeah. Dallas, um...

We-we found Uncle Willie.

But he's-he's not ready to come down here

for a visit just yet. I'm sorry, Mama.

That's all right.

At least he got to meet Stella and August.

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaking of which, I know what you did

sending them with me.

- I don't know what you mean. - Oh, really?

Uh, got a feeling that, uh,

grabbing ol' Uncle Willie wasn't the point of the trip.

Trip was about us, wasn't it?

Maybe. Did it work?

Yeah, it worked.

- Thank you. - [phone buzzing]

- It's my brother. - Get it, get it. Answer it.

Well, I-I don't know what to say.

You'll-you'll figure it out, Mama. You always do

Okay.

[phone continues buzzing]

William. Hi.

[knock on door]

It's open.

Hey, Daddy.

- Hey. - Get you a beer?

No, I'm good.

All right. Well, don't mind if I do.

So, uh... [laughs]

...how's my lovely brother-in-law?

Ha-ha. As described... uh, lovely.

But I did just have a nice talk with Mama.

- She seems to be in high spirits. - Well...

- You still got it, Romeo. - Oh, yeah.

[both chuckle]

Ah, that woman will outlive us all.

- I know she will. - Cheers to that.

Here's hoping she does.

Listen, uh, I've been meaning to talk to you.

Yeah. Shoot.

I've been thinking, and, uh...

[Bonham exhales sharply]

Maybe it's time for you and the kids

to find a place of your own.

Daddy, um...

I-if this is about Mama,

- we can help... - No. No, it's not about that.

[stammers]

She doesn't even know that I'm here asking you, and that's...

...that's a different fight for a different day.

No, this is about you, son.

More pointedly, it's-it's about your family.

Now, Stella's already moved out,

and this was, this was always supposed to be

a temporary thing.

I'm not saying that this has to happen tomorrow,

but it's time you got your house in order, son.

In more ways than one.

- You're probably right. [chuckles] - Well,

I'm often wrong, but in this instance...

♪ Where talkers are muted♪

♪ Where time is avoided♪

I love you, son.

-♪ Where the fog lifts in silence♪ - I know, Daddy. I...

I love you, too.

All right.

♪ Where I count all the things♪

♪ That I took for granted♪

[door opens, closes]

♪ Like holding your hand♪

♪ In the car in the morning.♪
