In this episode we learn that the two of them, rather than searching for their lost companions, have taken up as vigilantes, riding their horses around Texas and taking down bad guys.
But those plans are cut short when Strand hires an assassin to kill the family, including the little girl, in order to prove a point to Dwight and Sherry that it would be safer if they came to live with in the tower .
But if she’s gone, doesn’t that solve his problem? Strand’s hit convinces Dwight that they should bring her back, that it’s too dangerous out there, but Mickey and Sherry disagree.
It was bad enough portraying him as some tinpot dictator but this is a bridge too far.
So far, the current showrunners have done their level best to destroy every character they didn’t come up with.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they dragged us along this whole half of the season only to reveal that she’s dead or gone.
And now Strand is a caricature of an actual villain, twirling his mustache and strutting about like some idiotic peacock, hiring killers to take out innocent people including children, just to prove a point.
Dwight and Sherry do not take Strand up on his “offer” though it would have been awesome if Sherry, who seems to get off on ditching Dwight, had said “Actually yeah, I’ll go but keep this schmuck out!” Because Dwight, my dude, you can do better than this.
They’re surrounded in the end by the group of masked bad guys that keep popping up but instead of a fight, these guys enlist Dwight and Sherry’s help in finding Padre.
