Come on, come on.

You don't want none of this. You don't want none of this, bro.

- Keep going. - No!

Come on.

Hey!

You can't do that.

You want some cheese with that wine?

Guys! Come on!

No. Hold up. That's not fair!

Whoo!

Ha, too slow, suckers.

- The Stetson is mine. - Okay, what's going on here?

Did you run track in high school or something?

Are you accusing me of being some sort of ringer, Walker?

I'm accusing you of being fast.

'Cause I was on Mathletes.

Dad, you should really start focusing more on cardio.

Or you could just cut out the junk food.

All right, thanks.

Oh, so this is what we get

- for finally inviting you, huh? - Mm-hmm.

Hey, Dad, Captain James is inside,

says there's, like, a seating chart emergency, so...

All right, I'm on it. Uh... I got to shower.

- Yes, you do. Yeah. - Nice run.

Ranger Barnett, a word.

Mrs. Walker, those for me?

You wish. I promised Kelly

a spectacular wedding bouquet, and I aim to please.

I'm also in charge of RSVPs and catering.

Okay, so I s... I-I see where you're going with this.

I bet you do.

His wedding is tomorrow.

I know, I know.

And pretty much everyone is bringing a plus-one.

Well, except for Cassie, but she's got a pass

since her last boyfriend

turned out to be a homicidal anarchist.

Well, I was planning to ask Lana,

the woman that I met when I was undercover with those...

homicidal anarchists.

But bringing her to Cap's wedding is

obviously a horrible idea.

I mean, the optics of that alone, it's just...

- Right, optics. - Yeah.

Look, Trey, okay, you're basically family,

so I am just gonna come straight out with it:

You have had a tough year.

I've seen it, and so has everyone else,

but I've also seen how well you've handled everything,

and how much good you're doing as a Ranger.

But, at some point, you have to do good for yourself.

You deserve to be happy.

And you deserve someone who makes you happy.

- Okay. Oh, my gosh, you won. - Mm-hmm.

You better get up and help me.

That finishes off six.

Yeah, I know, I'm fine with table six.

I'm talking about seven. You put my cousin Janet

at the same table as my Aunt Lisi.

- There will be blood. - Okay. Not a problem.

- Boys. - Hi.

Sorry to interrupt this musical chairs, but work stuff.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, we all agreed no work stuff until after the wedding.

I know, I know, but I just got a call from the FBI.

Tessa Graves.

Okay.

Don't tell me the case against Grey Flag is falling apart.

Their case is in great shape, actually.

And Tessa said that

us taking down Kevin had a lot to do with that.

Anyway, she's putting together a Joint Task Force

to go after a fentanyl ring back east, and they need

folks with experience working big, complicated cases, like us.

Hold up, you're telling me the FBI

is trying to poach my two best Rangers

without even calling me first?

That's what you're telling me?

Relax, Cap. It's not poaching.

It's an eight-week operation. July and August.

So, if we did it, we'd be back by September.

Okay. What'd you tell her?

That I was flattered,

but I would need time to mull

and speak to you, obviously.

Uh, same here. Flattered, very flattered.

Honestly, right now, before making

any major life decisions,

I feel like I got to do some work on the seating chart,

- so... Excuse me. - Yes. Yes.

- Hey, get Janet away from Lisi. - I know.

- Like opposite ends of the room. - Okay, I got it.

- Facing opposite directions. - I got it. I'm on it.

Cass.

You can be straight with me. Is this something you want?

It's a great opportunity,

but Austin

finally feels like home.

And I'm not sure I want to spend my summer

chasing drug dealers in the Everglades with the FBI.

Understood. But, hey, for what it's worth,

you would be perfect for it.

Not that I want to lose you, not even for eight weeks, but...

Seriously, career-wise, it could be a really good thing.

Thanks, Cap.

All right.

All right.

All right, Augie, where we at with the bubble machine?

Uh, what bubble machine?

The one I asked you to rent for the ceremony.

Dad, we do not need bubbles.

Yes, we do, Stella.

They'll be festive. Look,

I promised Kelly everything would be perfect on the day.

Why is everyone ignoring my vision?

Cordi, chill.

Okay, we're doing our best.

Everything's gonna work out just fine.

Okay, I think your brother is just

worried that the old Walker curse

is gonna ruin all our fun.

Oh, there's no such thing as a Walker curse.

Uh, I could make a case.

Remember Serrano and the surveillance cameras?

Okay, we could also make a list of all

the amazing things that have happened at Walker Ranch,

including, but not limited to, Captain James' wedding.

Uh, quick question, has anyone checked the weather lately?

They're expecting freezing rain tonight

and possible flash floods tomorrow.

You're kidding.

You're not kidding. She's not kidding.

Okay, okay. Time to pivot, people. Uh,

- ideas? - Yep.

- Postpone it a week. - We can't.

James and Kelly leave the next morning

for their honeymoon, same as you and Mama.

- Oh. - I-I have an idea.

Why don't we go check out the old hay barn

that's next to the covered arena?

Okay, Liam,

I don't have time for that.

Okay, fine, we will go and check.

That place seems pretty idyllic for a wedding.

Well...

"Idyllic" is one way to describe it.

Okay, well...

what about The Side Step? Can we fit everybody in there?

Not without cutting the guest list.

Look, I know this is gonna sound insane,

but we're just gonna have to make this work.

Well, I guess I could get the backhoe

and move all the junk to out back.

Hm. Better idea is move it

- straight into a dumpster. - Mm.

You know, we could repair these beams

and hang some lights from them, maybe a disco ball.

And we have leftover lumber from the rescue stables,

- plenty of tools... - Yeah, well, now

you're talking about construction. What about a crew?

Well, I've got the day off and plenty of experience

with catered gigs, so put me to work, Coach.

And not to brag,

but I did get a B-minus in shop class, so...

Well, I suppose I could ask

a couple of the ranch hands for help.

And Jim from DeMarco's,

the feed store... he owes me a favor.

I thought he wanted to murder you.

He had a little legal dispute with a local vendor

that I might've helped him out with, so now, he loves me.

And I can text Ben.

He has plenty of experience working big events.

This is gonna be great.

Hey, teamwork makes the dream work.

Oh, my God, that is so cheesy.

How you doing over there, kiddo?

- Good. - Okay, let me see it.

Ah, let me, uh...

All right.

- Look at that. - Thanks, Dad.

- How do I look? - Not too bad, buddy.

Not bad at all.

I mean, you know, w-we can't have you

showing up your old man, so

let me just do a little something.

Hey, hey.

- This took a while. - All right. Let's get changed.

Hey, Dad?

- Yeah? - Uh...

Remember how you said that, like, if I needed to talk...?

Yeah. What's up?

You know, I'm gonna be a senior next year,

- and I've been... - Yeah.

...really thinking about my future.

Yeah, I bet. Sure.

And I actually might know what I, what I want to do.

Ah, okay, okay. Let me guess,

you want to pursue music?

I want to enlist in the army.

I know the military isn't exactly

what you and mom had in mind for me,

and, to be honest, I never thought I'd be interested

in it, either, but, like...

this year just kind of changed that, you know?

Look, Dad, I've been flailing, all right?

I-I've been looking

for direction and just a sense of purpose.

And you feel like

the military will give you that?

Yeah, like what the Marines did for you.

- That was different. - How?

It...

It just was.

Well, Gramps thinks it's a good idea.

Y-You talked to my daddy before you came to me?

I-I e-mailed the recruiter,

and he said I could start early.

Like summer, if I really wanted to.

Augie...

you're only 17.

Yeah, I need your consent.

Well...

Uh...

Wait. You know,

I-I'm gonna need some time to think about this.

To-to really

think about it, you know?

But I promise you I'll keep an open mind.

- Okay. - Guys, food's ready.

I wasn't planning on bringing this up today,

on account of the wedding and all,

but it sort of feels like the perfect moment, so...

I decided to start college in the fall.

No. Yes.

Seriously?

Stella Blue, that's amazing.

I'm-I'm proud of you.

Wait, what about working at the horse rescue?

Oh, I can do both. I already talked to Uncle Liam about it,

and it won't be a problem.

- That's cool, Stel. - Yeah.

Yeah, I was,

I was, I was just getting used to

having you around.

Kind of sucks that you're, uh,

leaving for Sauber soon, you know?

I guess I sort of buried the lede there.

I'm sorry. I'm not moving to Oregon State.

- I enrolled at UCAS. - No way.

Wait, so you're, like, you're staying in Austin?

Yeah. I'm gonna get a place downtown with Colton

- when he's back from Vegas. - Wow.

Can both of y'all just stop

growing up so freaking fast?

Please? Thank you. Uh...

Sorry.

Uh... W-W-Work thing.

I-I got to take it, but don't go anywhere.

Uh, all right, sorry.

This is Ranger Walker.

Cordell.

Detective Luna, Corpus Christi P.D.

- Hey. - It's been a minute.

David, yeah, it's-it's been years.

Listen, I'm calling with some news.

Hollis Miller just died.

I see. Um...

I'm sorry to...

hear that.

What was his, uh, cause of death?

He, uh, passed in his sleep.

He... In his sleep?

Kind of young guy to just die in his sleep.

Medical examiner did a full autopsy,

all right? Says natural causes.

Were his insulin levels normal?

Yeah.

Look, I see where you're going with this, Walker.

Believe me.

I'm happy to say his insulin levels were normal.

Okay.

Okay. Uh, well, um...

Did they check for trace amounts of digoxin?

No, because that's not part of the standard post-mortem,

you know that.

Yeah, okay, I-I need you to ask your ME to do that.

Detective,

it's a simple test.

Man, I called you as a courtesy.

I don't want to go back in time here, Walker.

And I can't let you. Emily would kill me.

Emily passed.

Damn, I'm sorry.

Yeah, no. Me, too. Thank you. Um...

I...

One test, as a favor.

All right, Jim, coming down.

Yeah, you got it.

Good job. Take it easy.

That beam should work out just fine.

So, this FBI thing...

- You'd be gone for how long? - Eight weeks.

So, it's kind of like summer camp, but with guns

and drug dealers.

And an opportunity to take your career to the next level.

So you think I should do it?

Just don't stay away forever.

Oh. Needed that.

Wait, what do you mean you didn't get an invite?

Oh, it's fine. I'm not really offended.

I don't really know this Captain James guy.

We still want you there.

You know, it'll be fun,

and you're already helping out, so...

Be my plus one.

Colton's out of town, and

I insist, so you really don't have a choice.

Well, if you insist.

Stella, can I talk to you for a second? Thanks.

Listen, I was planning on asking Sadie to be my plus one.

Oh, Augie, please. You're, like, still a child.

- You don't get a plus one. - Stella Blue,

I need a fresh set of eyes on this and be honest.

- Too many peonies? - Mawline,

can you ever have too many peonies? It's perfect.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

'Cause I still feel like it needs something.

What about this?

Oh, blue for luck.

Well, now, see,

what could possibly go wrong?

Liam checked with Kelly,

and she thinks it might be nice

to do the whole ceremony "in the round."

Genius. Great. Let's do that.

Okay, so then if we've got these two,

and if we...

- Hey. - Hey.

You drove all the way to my house to ask

for my expert opinion

on seating charts, although I am admittedly

no expert.

You're barely paying attention.

Uh... Yeah.

Y-Yeah, yeah.

Sorry. My-my mind has kind of

been all over the place. Um... Okay.

Hey.

- Hey. - Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, yeah. What's up?

Okay, uh,

didn't you just help bring down a...

an evil, terrorist crime syndicate?

I-If you're referring to Grey Flag,

uh, then... yes, ma'am.

Yeah, yeah, it's been, uh,

it's been quite the year.

So why is wedding planning

suddenly the thing that's pushing you over the edge?

You know...

It's-it's my best friend's wedding.

I want everything to be perfect.

- Okay. All right. - Yeah.

I mean, maybe that's-that's part of it, but...

You know, weddings,

they-they do dredge up all kinds of...

I don't know. I guess what I'm trying to say

is that...

this is gonna be the first wedding that I've been to

in...

a really long time.

- Since... Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah.

Same.

Please take your seats.

Uh, welcome. Uh...

I don't think I need this.

Okay, uh...

First off, I want to thank

all y'all for being here

and being a part of Kelly

and Larry's epic love story.

You know, hard to believe

that, just about 24 hours ago,

we were planning on doing this thing outside.

But by some miracle and some hard work,

uh, we were able to turn this old barn into a chapel

slash disco.

Thank you guys.

Thank you for that. Thank you.

So, as I researched what exactly

was required of a wedding officiant,

it-it became clear to me that,

honestly, uh, not very much.

Which is

why I think

Larry trusted me with it.

That's true, that's true.

Okay.

My initial plan was to just kind of stand up here

and wax poetic

about my best friend Larry

and the love

of his life, Kelly,

and how

the two came together

again, they found each other again. They found

love again.

How inspiring it was for me,

for all of us to watch. Um,

on a personal note, I-I've known this man for

a heck of a long time.

- Long time. - Uh, we started out

as partners when I first joined the Rangers

and ended up becoming, uh, brothers.

Frankly, Kelly,

I can see why you have a difficult time

keeping away from this guy.

Right, yeah. Uh,

Captain here has asked me to keep things brief.

Too late.

All right.

Let's cut to the chase, then.

All right, here goes.

Larry Samuel James,

do you take Kelly Dana...

James, uh...

...as your lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold,

through sickness and in health, again?

I most certainly do.

Kelly Dana James, do you

take Larry Samuel James as your lawfully wedded husband,

to have and to hold, through sickness and in health,

again?

Heck yeah, I do.

Well, then,

with the powers vested in by the

"Unitarian online chapel" or something...

...uh... I now

pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

I love you.

What are we doing?

What are you doing?

Oh, oh, oh!

Wow.

Unbelievable.

- Here you go, Bonham. - Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

Oh, my Lord. Whew.

Way to show them how it's done, Gramps.

Well, I am feeling a little celebratory.

I hear you're going back to college.

I don't know that it's called "going back"

when I technically never went.

But it's local.

Listen, you don't need to explain yourself to me. I'm...

I am proud of you.

Thank you.

I just...

I want to educate myself to do more.

Now that's smart.

As long as it leaves you time to dance.

All right, let's dance, little girl.

Cordi.

- Cap. Man of the hour. - Whew. I got to tell you, man,

Kelly was worried. She couldn't help out

with the planning 'cause of her work schedule,

but you actually pulled it off.

Yeah. Yeah, I pulled it off. What, you doubted me?

I absolutely did.

Heard a thing or two about

- the state of this barn. - Well, but look at it now.

Come on. Hey, hey,

- look at us now. - Yeah, man.

It's been a long road,

and I am glad to still be on it with you, my brother.

Me, too. Yeah.

- Mm. - Yeah, uh, um...

I got a call from Detective Luna.

- Really? - Yeah. Yeah.

Hollis Miller died,

and I asked Luna

to have the ME

check for digoxin.

- Okay, hold up, hold up. - J-J-Just in case, just in case.

Okay? A-And I've been

- overthinking things lately. - Cordi.

I can't go back there.

You know what that case did to me.

You know what that case did to me and Kelly. There is no way...

I know, and I-I wouldn't have even brought it up,

especially today, if it weren't for the fact

that I-I just want to be completely transparent

with you, especially after these past few months.

Long road.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm glad your long road led you and Kelly

back to each other.

It's brave, uh,

being adult enough to even

try again.

So, how did you know it would work?

Last year,

I got shot.

I was in that hospital, I woke up,

I saw Kelly sitting there, and it was like...

It became very clear that

I couldn't waste another second of my life

not trying get her back.

- Speaking of which... - Yeah.

- I love you, brother. - Love you.

Watch out, they're throwing the bouquet soon.

Ha. Hey, you know that unmarried women

actually used to basically attack the bride

and tear off little pieces of her dress for good luck?

Until, at some point, she was just like,

"You know what, take these flowers

and please stop shredding my dress."

And you know this because your mom was a librarian?

Ha. No. I know this because I'm obsessed

with weird traditions that women

really need to start questioning more.

- Fair enough. - Yeah.

One, two, three.

You know, weddings, they have a way of making you really

reflect on things, you know?

Oh, come on. You didn't see what I did there? "Reflect"?

'Cause of the mirror ball?

- Yeah. Wow. - Yeah? Yeah.

- Cordi, dad jokes, really going strong. - Yeah. Uh...

Still got it, still got it.

Okay.

But did you see Kelly and Larry tonight?

- Yeah. - I mean, the way they looked at each other.

Yeah. It's kind of hopeful, right?

It is.

I mean, for the longest time, I just

felt like I was holding my breath,

waiting for the next bad thing.

Right. Yeah. Well, kind of feels like, uh,

feels like we've turned a corner, yeah?

Yeah.

It's this new positive spin thing I'm trying.

Oh, nice.

I mean, it's-it's what Jesse

used to say back at the cabin...

sunny side. Anyway,

- what are you doing this summer? - Me?

I... I don't know.

Um... I mean...

I m-might have something. Uh...

I'm not sure yet.

The-the feds reached out about a task force,

- but it's out of town, so... - Hmm.

Um, anyways, uh, what about you?

The cabin, Jesse, who's she?

Uh, Jesse, he, um...

- He? - Yes. He was

Sadie's mom's boyfriend.

- Oh. - And he was there

through everything, obviously.

- Yeah. - He was just kind of a rock.

I mean, really inspiring guy.

Y-Yeah. Uh, great, great.

I think I'm done,

or I'm not waking up tomorrow, uh, to catch my flight,

and I don't want to miss Tuscany again.

You sure? They're talking about an after-party at The Side Step.

Absolutely not.

It's never a good idea to go to the second location.

And I know that the storm already blew over,

but could you just do me a favor

and be responsible?

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.

Then my...

my job here is done.

Mwah.

I'm gonna find my husband, and good night.

Safe travels.

Thank you.

All right.

Looks like I need a new dance partner.

Oh, God, no. I can't feel my feet.

All right, I guess we've been going pretty hard.

Yeah.

So, um,

have you given any thought to your summer plans?

I think I'm gonna go for it.

But, between you and me,

it might be for more than just a summer.

So, that's the tricky part.

Tessa's really been giving me the hard sell.

To what, to-to cross over to the feds?

No. You know how I feel about those guys.

But I...

Forget I said anything.

I'm not too sure I could forget about something like that.

Cass, um...

You remember what I said earlier,

about this being home now?

A lot of that is because of you.

I know.

And the same for me, too.

Maybe that's why our fight and...

everything after Grey Flag, it just hit me so hard.

I wouldn't really call that a fight, it was more just us

telling each other some hard truths.

Yeah. 'Cause we care so much.

Yeah.

Second location?

- That's a great idea. Yeah. - Yeah.

My feet are killing me, though. I can't walk.

You need a...

All aboard the choo-choo train.

Here we go.

- Hyah. Yeah. - Choo-choo train?

So, uh, where do you want to take these?

Hey, what, you know, why don't we set them down in here

for a sec. Yeah.

I want to say something

- while we got a chance. - Uh... Okay.

- Um, please, sit. Uh... - Yeah.

Um...

I want to tell you

how proud I am of you.

Not just for how you helped make today happen,

but how you've changed course this past year

for the better, how you've grown.

Now, you were a little lost, and I get that because I was, too.

Okay, so you've, uh,

thought about what I said, about the army?

I've thought about it a lot, yeah.

And...

I don't think it's time.

Oh, okay, but, like, everything you're saying

about how I've grown, doesn't that

indicate that it's, like, the perfect time?

You're growing.

Still in the process.

And I'm not saying no, never.

I'm saying not right now.

Augie,

have a summer,

finish high school,

and if you still want to look into basic training after that,

I'm not gonna stand in your way.

He's such a hypocrite.

I know that it feels that way,

but, come on, do you really want to cut

all that beautiful hair for the army?

Hey.

I love you, Toad.

Just a quick change and then we're out of here.

Yes. I need to get these shoes off,

but I'll keep my bra on.

That sounds like a plan to me.

Oh, my God.

What the hell?

Stella, what do we d...

Someone's still here.

It's really bad.

Oh, God.

Look, here.

Is that...

Witt. From the party.

Do you think he was here looking for you? For us?

Oh, God.

Take this.

- What are you doing? - He's gonna bleed out if we don't get help.

- Well, just wait. - What do you mean, wait?

- He's bleeding... - Just wait for a minute and just think.

Okay?

How is this gonna look?

Worse if we don't call somebody.

If you call somebody,

then this whole thing is set in motion.

It was self-defense. It was an accident.

Yeah, and we know him, and I have a record.

You have a record.

Ugh, I just mean...

who would you even call?

That's gonna be warm. You said two pieces of bacon?

All right. Uh, here you go.

And napkins are inside.

Thank y'all. Ger.

- Oh, my gosh, Augie is trying... - Hey.

...so hard to stay awake in there.

I bet he's, uh, trying to stay awake for Sadie.

Well, who knows what those girls got into.

- Might be waiting a while. - Yeah.

Yeah.

You good?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Geri, actually,

um...

I-I don't know if you have

something going on with this Jesse guy at the cabin.

- Jesse? - Yeah.

No, there's... there's nothing.

I'm glad to hear that.

Uh, hey.

What do you think about staying here this summer?

We can all celebrate Sadie's birthday together.

Why don't you stay here?

Why don't you...

stay here with me?

You serious?

I'm gonna, um...

That's okay. Cordi, just take it.

- I should. - Yeah.

Hey, uh, this is Walker.

- Here we go. - Go ahead.

Hey. What're you two

doing here? I thought you were warming up the karaoke crowd.

Let me help you with these. Yeah?

Yeah. Uh...

Stella.

You okay?

We're partners, right?

Yeah.

We really need your help.

You were right.

ME reported traces of that medicine, digoxin.

Walker,

I can run this down myself.

Um...

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Hey. What was that?

You okay?

I don't know.

I got to, I got to call, I got to call James.

Cordi, no. It-it's his wedding night.

They're leaving in the morning.

No, you're right. Um...

- Yeah. - Hey.

Hey. What's going on?

Years ago, there was this case,

this serial killer.

We called him the Jackal.

Larry and I chased it,

and Larry, he got obsessed.

I mean, he became

consumed.

I mean, could it really be him,

after all this time?

It might be.

So...

case went cold. We got

pulled off by the state,

but a man just died,

one of his intended victims during that time,

but, uh, you know, we were able to save him back then.

But, um...

...seems like the Jackal may have finally got him.

Oh, my God. Stella.

Where's the body?
