And that’s a good thing.
And this week proved to be a big one for some of Walker’s closest relationships.
Right now, his focus is on getting back to “normal,” whatever that means.

Seeing the saddle that Emily gave him sends him straight to the bar to talk with Geri.
But the conversation proves fruitful.
Right now, Walker has two major questions about Emily’s death: Why were her eyes closed?
And why did she have a poker chip on her when she died?
Well, Geri answers one of those questions.
She admits to closing Emily’s eyes because she says she “couldn’t leave her like that.”
The answer to the second question will come later.
And that leads us to our seriously badass Walker-Micki moment on horseback.
(Yes, they get the bad guy.)
But while all of that is going on, Walker misses his lunch with Liam.
(Not a bad way to go if you ask me.)
It’s a short but sweet introduction to the character.
And he knows exactly where she is.
But Liam would never take Walker’s kids; he simply wanted them to be with family.
That’s when Walker sees August watching.
It’s a poker set.
It seems she carried a couple of the chips around to show people.
And with his second big question answered, he tries to make things right with Stella.
Thanks to a text conversation gotta get on a teenager’s level, you know?
Across town, Micki also has some life news when Trey tells her he’s not going to re-up.
He’s home now, and together, they’re going to take a stab at get this right.
