Plus, the benefits of Hoyt getting her badge back.
Jenny Hoyt can’t seem to stay out of a shootout.
But will any of that even matter if this shootout goes awry?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The episode ends with Jenny and Cassie once more in dire straits.
How does this compare danger-wise to the season 1 finale?
KATHERYN WINNICK:Definitely the stakes are extremely high.
Obviously they’re now under attack.
Jenny was shot just several weeks ago in the show’s timeline.
Might she be facing that nightmare all over again?
True, but I think she definitely has a different outlook on life.
She now realizes how short life is, so she came back [to the force].
She definitely has a lot more determination, longer perseverance.
I don’t think she’s scared of death.
So rather than further traumatizing her, it sounds like this shootout might just energize her?
Jenny is definitely a fighter, and she’s fierce, and this is really Jenny 2.0.
I think it’s a combination of both.
Jenny, first of all, is excited to wear the badge again.
She realized that she needs a badge to be more effective.
Her sole motivation and personal drive is to really make her life count.
That comes with a lot of challenges too.
She’s still the undersheriff.
She’s pretty impulsive.
That’s what I love about her.
How will it continue to impact or evolve their relationship and partnership?
I think that it works better.
And they can use each other to find out different information and go around things.
Obviously she has to abide by the law, or at least make it seem that way.
Cassie can can go around the law a little bit.
So it actually works out better, and I’m excited about the new partnership this way.
Originally this character was based on one C.J.
Box character, Cassie Dewell, andDavid E. Kelleysplit Cassie in two and created Jenny.
She’s finding some romance again, with old flame Travis.
How much is this a… not rebound, but a salve for her still-present grief over Cody?
It is Jenny 2.0.
So she’s looking at life a little differently.
Or even thinking of anything serious at this point.
She’s enjoying the chemistry.
I don’t think she’s thinking too much at this point of where it’s going to go.
She’s allowed to have fun.
Is she playing with fire again here, risking losing another love interest?
You’re going to have to wait and see.
Does Jenny actually fall in love with Travis?
You’re just going to have to wait and see on that.
But I think at this point in the story, it’s a working relationship with benefits.
Is Jenny right to trust him?
Or might he be a shady character too?Big Skyhas really taught us to trust no one.
Jenny definitely does trust him because of the history.
I don’t know.
Why do you think Cassie is a tad more obsessed with catching Ronald than Jenny?
Cassie has a personal drive and is obsessed with Ronald’s case.
Jenny wants to focus on other cases, and yes of course she also wants to solve Ronald.
She’s keeping her eye on the prize with this one.
Of what we’ve seen thus far, do you have a favorite scene of the season?
I also really want to explore that Jenny understands the undercover world.
Can you tease next week’s episode?
[It will bring] more drama.
Physically or mentally or emotionally.
