Not to mention, Rand has a drug problem (which includes getting high on his own supply).
The sheriff sticks to the Kleinsasser’s official story, and Jenny even gets run off their property.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We left the spring premiere with both Cassie and Jenny in peril.

Who should we be more worried about right now?
ROSS FINEMAN:They’re both in big danger.
She knows that if she doesn’t think quick that she’s doomed.
They’re both in big trouble.
She has to think fast.
And that’s how we start off episode 12 is dealing with both of those situations.
Well, anybody named Kleinsasser is not completely trustworthy.
But Blake is vulnerable, and he really needs someone to help him.
Selfishly, maybe there’s something in it for him.
But the brothers don’t like that and don’t trust that.
Can you rank them in turns of how dangerous or trustworthy they are?
Horst, played by Ted Levine, is completely untrustworthy.
The women in the family are resentful of the men in the family.
That’s coming to a head.
Rand, who’s the baby son, is probably the least emotionally capable of doing his own bidding.
He looks up to his bigger brother JW and follows his lead in everything.
How do the Kleinsassers compare to Ronald and Legarski in terms of their capacity for evil?
I’d say they are less evil, even though they get to the same place.
The Kleinsassers, it’s more about greed and inability to deal with people that threaten them.
If you crossed one of the Kleinsassers, you might pay for it with your life.
You know by reputation that they’re a tough family.
So, that was a little more of a surprise when they turned.
I think it’s [author] C.J.
Box at his best.
Describe the Kleinsassers in three words.
Selfish, powerful, and misguided.
Something is definitely going on with Cheyenne and her mom, and the kids are protective of her.
What can you hint at when it comes to the relationship between her and Horst?
Horst only cares about Horst.
He only cares about his family in how it makes him look.
And Horst is a throwback from the 1950s, if you will.
He believes the men of the family come first.
The wife and the daughter are second-class citizens as far as he’s concerned.
And he’s not doing a very good job of it.
We should be very, very worried for her.
He should not be trusted.
He can’t turn over a new leaf because it’s not in his capacity to do so.
He’s just trying to stay out of trouble, trying to stay low-key.
He can’t forget the people that know who he is and who he wants to deal with.
That is why Cassie and Jenny are hoping to bring him back into focus and eventually bring him down.
Because Ronald is an imperfect person.
But the woman he’s living with has a child.
They should be worried.
And you should be worried for them.
What can you tease about who or what he visited in the barn with the cake?
It’s of his history.
He doesn’t know how to fit into society.
It seems like he’s the one calling Jerrie.
How worried should we still be about her safety?
We should be extremely worried for Jerrie because she is really the object of his desire.
He is psychotic, but he’s not pure evil.
He felt for Jerrie.
He could have done more awful things to her, and he didn’t.
There’s a connection with them.
From his point of view, that is.
We know that’s crazy.
That’ll never happen.
But he doesn’t know that won’t happen.
So, she should be very worried.
That is him, who’s calling and hanging up.
He just can’t let it go.
Should we be suspicious of him?
He is definitely quirky.
I will tell you that he is not dangerous.
He is on the side of right.
He wants to do right, but he just comes from a different way.
He’s a little bit crunchy granola.
He is looking for Ronald because of his own past.
There’s also some real chemistry between him and Cassie.
Might some sparks fly there along the way?
There’s a connection.
But Cassie is very cautious.
Her husband, the father of her child, was killed at war.
And then, she was the other woman, and she didn’t mean to be.
She didn’t think she was with Cody.
He’s only been gone for three months now; he was taken away violently.
So, she’s being ultra-cautious.
And as much as she doesn’t want to even think about it, she’s thinking about it.
Any chance something could be rekindled there?
I just have to tell you point-blank.
She’s just not there yet.
When she meets Blake, he’s not presenting himself in the best light.
He’s being accused of a horrible crime, which he denies.
That’s nothing she needs in her life, that’s for sure.
But he can’t deny that [they had] a great thing back when they were kids.
That’s why she’s there to help him.
But I would say there’s no real future for the two of them.
Can you tease next week’s episode?
It is full-blownBig Sky.We’re juggling the Kleinsasser story; we’re juggling the Ronald story.
Ronald, new and old, new family, old vendettas.
It’s a wild ride of an hour.
Ronald is still lurking out there.
And his old ways are starting to come to the fore again.
He just can’t control his urges.
We have a great ending, which will compel you to the next one.
It’s a surprise; it’s a shock, and it’s very satisfying.
