Last week, Marshals ended on a major cliffhanger, the show’s first “to be continued,” and this week they’re back to live up to their promise, wrapping up the case of the ten Broken Rock reservation girls who have been trafficked, as well as a few more personal storylines for the team.
Here’s what went down on this week’s episode of Marshals.
Because others can’t
For the last several weeks, mentions have been made about a ceremony honoring people from the reservation who have died, including Kayce’s late wife Monica. This week, the time has finally come, and on the one year anniversary of Monica’s death. Naturally, tensions are running especially high at the Dutton house, where Kayce is ignoring his own grief by working on the case of Hailey, a young friend of Tate’s who he let return to the people trafficking her last week in the hopes of preventing other girls from dying. Tate believes that Monica’s spirit led them to find Hailey in the first place, and that getting her back would be a form of honoring Monica, so suffice to say he’s none to pleased at his father’s lack of progress.
Tate’s not the only one, either. Miles is still furious with Kayce for letting Hailey go and has been putting off notifying the mother of one of the other missing girls, Ava, after the team discovered last week that Ava had been killed. Cal insists that he and Miles make the notification today while Belle and Andrea work on getting back on the trail of the girls after their raid of the camper they believed the girls to be transported in came up dry last week.
At the office of Broken Rock chairman Thomas Rainwater, Cal regretfully informs Ava’s mother of her death after Miles, who has been struggling with feelings that the res sees him as a traitor, finds himself unable to get the words out.
The women, meanwhile, have more luck, finding CCTV footage of a van presumably carrying the girls being driven by a member of the deadly motorcycle gang, the Iron Sentinels.
