Synopsis

Tools in hand, Walker, Stella and August are ready to do some demo work. Liam is using a power saw, Bonham is helping paint the walls with his expert palette that he thinks Walker is questioning. August is working on a special project. In the center is a Walker family picture(Walker, August, Stella and Emily). The gang is sitting around it and tears in Walker's eyes. Walker is pouring two glasses of soda from the bar and toasts the bar and comments on how important the bar is to him and Emily. Stella jokes that Walker actually nailed himself to it so they get how important it is. August expresses that he wished Geri was there as she is still part of the Side Step. Geri has been gone for about a month taking care of business as Walker explains with a awkward expression. Walker proceeds to give the keys to Stella to Emily 1967 Mustang as she just got her license back. Walker warns her about the rules of the road. While screwing on a skull tap, he asks her about Trevor and where he is. Stella expresses that she has no idea where he is and he may not even be in town and proceeds to walk away. Walker has a concerned look on his face.

At Liam's office, the current DA and Stan Morrison are having a conversation. DA McLarson proceeds to tell Liam that he is stepping down before his term is up and there will be a special election. Liam is thinking that he will be recommended and be endorsed but that is not the case. McLarson proceeds to tell Liam that he is going to back up Stan to become the new District Attorney. Stan thinks he is the right man for the job as he is well versed. Liam is concerned that this may be a lot for Stan to take on. Stan wants to help Liam move up and make himself have a new name with his progressive voice. Micki and Trey arrive at the Side Step to continue to help and Micki askes how the doctor appointment went. Trey expresses that things are going well and that he will be back to driving real soon. Trey explains that every TBI is different and that he will be back to normal soon. Micki is happy to hear this but also is cautious. Micki receives a phone call about a case from the APD. Walker greets "Tricki" and gets looped into the case that Micki was just called about. Trey is left with August as they are finishing the gallery wall of random things that mean the most to everyone. At the police station, Micki is really excited about this grand larceny case. Walker is confused as why they were asked to consult. Micki explains that she has seen this crime scene before and knows who the person is who is committing these crimes. She expresses that this person is skilled as they only come from what they want and will leave a musical message. The song that is left is titled "How Am I Gonna Find You Now? Walker is impressed with the music aspect of this case. A 300 year old Stradivarius Violin(which was in the same case as some really cool Gibson guitars). A pink guitar pic in the criminal's calling card and Micki is fully aware of this as she has seen this many times. Micki explains that she never got a chance to solve this as her old boss never gave her a shot when she was a Trooper. Walker reminds her that she is now a Ranger and can solve this together. She proceeds to tell him that the suspect is Minnie Jayne. Walker is star struck when he is that name as she is known for being local hero, homegrown talent. Walker compliments on how great she is and Micki stares at him and expressed that fan boy or not, she will finally get her chance to arrest Minnie. At the horse stables, where Stella completed her community service, she proceeds to get into the house that Trevor was staying at and starts looking around for clues of where he may have ended up. She stumbles on some photos that include him as a baby, a picture of them together, a picture of Duke, Twyla, Clint, and Crystal and a picture of him standing outside a house located on the Street "Slaughter". She hears noises and run out of the house, she then runs into Clint.

Micki and Walker are reviewing the case files. Walker looks distracted. Walker proceeds to tell her that both him and Geri kissed the night that that Emily's killer was arrested and that he is thinking way too much into it. Micki, as the often gives advise tell him to talk to her about it as this could help the complication of it all. Walker expresses that Geri has not been around to not even try to talk about it. Back to the case, Micki explains that she had one other opportunity to arrest Minnie but unfortunately the evidence was thrown out and charges dropped. Micki knows where Minnie will be and this excites Walker as he is going to be able to meet his favorite musician. Micki jokes that he cant go with her and Walker gives a look of defeat. At the family ranch, Bonham and Liam are observing some training for one of the horses. They proceed to talk about what is going on with Stan and also how Liam has no idea what he wants to do anymore. Bonham, in all his wisdom reminds him that he he has a big brain and even bigger heart. He tells Liam to listen to his gut as he is a rancher. Trey is showing August a trick with twist a bottle of liquor. August proceeds to try and throws it back to Trey who drops it. He holds his hand as to show that he is still weak on that side. August changes the subject and tell Trey he needs help to mount the special item that Micki brought. Trey is surprised that Micki had kept a wrapper from the first date they ever had. Trey explains to August about how it all went down during a supply run while on active duty and how he saved them from a dog. Trey is concerned that he is not that same person. August proceeds to tell him that hiding how he is feeling is not doing anyone any good. At the stables, Stella is speaking to Clint, wanting to know where Trevor is. Clint is being snarky with his remarks and answers and proceeds to tell her that they are just getting acquanted with one another and that she know owes him for stealing his son's heart. Clint also asks Stella how "Duke" is doing and asks if August is still taking pictures with that old camera. Stella realizes that Clint has people all around and can cause some major problems for the Walker Family. At Little Barton's Minnie Jayne is performing and Walker is fanboying, while Micki is unimpressed. At the end of her set, she walks over and recognizes Micki who gives a face of disgust about how the show was while Walker praises how great the show was.

Micki and Walker are questioning Minnie. She proceeds to tell Micki that someone was watching her place as she had upgraded to the Smart home and was getting camera alerts the same night that the violin was stolen. She gives the guitar to Walker for him to look at and to hold. Micki is not pleased and kicks him in the leg as he is having way too much fun. Minnie expresses that she knows that someone is framing her to get her out of the way. Micki finds this all to be way to convenient but proceeds to take her phone and looks up the person who is stalking her comments. At the stables, Stella finds Clint brushing horse. He askes her about reading and how a particlar book, Gone Girl is about selfish people who run away and leave everyone else behind and how one lie can destroy a family. Stella askes again about Trevor. Clint explains that Trevor was all that he had left and that he is upset that he chose the Stella and Walker family over him. Clint proceeds to tell her about the grandmother who took care of Trevor when Clint and Crystal were not around. He tells Stella that she needs to stay quiet about these chats as he will know if she tells Walker about them, almost as a threat. Walker and Micki are at Minnie's house looking for evidence. They come across the computer with the camera feeds. Walker explains that its all motion sensored. Micki sees some movemnt in the attic. The suspect is in the house and proceeds to try to escape with a guitar in hand. Walker and Micki chase after him.
