At the Side Step, things are being prepared for Hoyt's Welcome Home party. August is setting up lights and a camera as he has been recording personal messages for Hoyt. It is Walker's turn to say some things about Hoyt but he seems distracted. He looks at his cell phone as Geri texted that she is on her way with Hoyt.Walker fumbles around with the keyboard, trying to think of something to say. He first writes that he is "sorry" about the kiss, but then anxiously deletes it and then is starting to write that he doesn't want to make things...weir and then deletes that and send a thumbs up emoji sign. August is reviewing the previous messages and comes to Geri's Geri is saying that Hoyt deserves "good things". Walker at this point is sweating from the lights. Walker is talking to the camera and is finding it hard to come up with words as he is feeling extremely guilty. Walker calls Micki, she and Trey are on a "stakeout" for Hoyt. Trey is having some fun with this and actually decides to put on a Ranger hat and play the role. Micki and Trey are talking about their relationship achievement unlocked(most reliable person). Trey is still worried that with him still recovering that this will change him in a way that makes him unreliable. Trey is also getting ready for the state soccer championship game and wants Stella to be on point. Hoyt and Geri pull into the parking lot of Side Step. Geri is looking at her cell phone now to see with Walker had said anything else. She is distracted as well and Hoyt can feel it. Hoyt promises that he is going legit and that Geri deserve more from him. Hoyt tries to kiss Geri and Geri just wants to go inside. Hoyt questioned what just happened and assures Geri that she can be honest with him. Geri tells Hoyt that he did nothing wrong. Walker is coming up from behind him as to surprise attack him just like when Hoyt greeted Walker previously. The door opens and everyone is waiting for Hoyt. Walker comes up from behind and tackles Hoyt to the floor. They hug and Hoyt is just appreciative of the both of them and Walker takes a deep breathe.
Clint and Jaxson are riding on a prisoner bus. Clint takes a look at Jaxson and his shakes his head in a forward motion, which can only mean that they have a plan to escape. All of a sudden a group of men on motorcycles and gun follow the bus. Back at Side Step, Geri is getting some liquid courage and talking to Micki. She congratulates her on having Hoyt back. Geri does not seem thrilled as something is obviously bothering her. Walker is sitting on the other side of bar texting Stella regarding coming to the Side Step, Hoyt comes up beside him and askes if everything is okay with Geri. Walker tries to make light of it and tell him about how she helped with finding out and killing the person who killed Emily. Hoyt is happy that Walker got the closure he needed and was also there for Geri. They both toast to Emily(wishing now she can finally rest) Walker thanks Hoyt. Walker requests beers and tells everyone they are on the house. Walker then gets up and asks August where Stella is. August is busy doing bus boy duties and askes when they will be hiring a chef. August tells his father to make sure he puts a coaster down. Walker askes him what a "peace sigh" emoji means and August just walks away from him. Stella and Trevor have stopped for gas as they are continuing to drive away from Austin to get away from Clint and his buddies. Stella tells Walker that she is with Bel getting ready for the soccer game. Stella feels bad that she will miss the game. Trevor is concerned that they will be followed and tells Stella to shut her phone and that they need to pay in cash the rest of the way. Stella does not have enough money for that and going to an ATM is out of the question. She wants to know why they need more money. Trevor knows a spot where they can lay low and can get what they need. Hoyt askes Walker to dance with Geri while he dances with Abeline. Both Walker and Geri have not spoken in a month about what happened as Walker has had a lot of stuff going on including his DPS hearing. Geri expresses that he has had to think about more then just what happened then just the kiss, including her feelings which she thinks Walker has already thought about. Walker tells her this is not the case but Geri interrupts him abruptly. Geri wants to come clean right away and Walker does not want to ruin his welcome back party. Hoyt gets up on the bar and thanks everyone and tries to give Geri another plastic straw ring. Geri interrupts Hoyt and jokes with him junk jewelry. Micki and Walker get a text saying there has been a bus accident with prisoners' going to Max. Walker is frantic as Clint and Jaxson are on that bus.
Walker and Micki pull up to Texas Savings and Loan. Micki is wondering why they are at the bank and not questioning witnesses or checking out the abandoned car that was left. Walker tells Micki that Clint has friends everywhere and that this bank was next on the list of the Rodeo Kings to rob. He explains to Micki that with each back that was hit, there would be a safe deposit box opened. This particular bank has a necklace of Clint's wife. Clint will hit this place as there is a safe deposit box with cash and other things needed to help with an escape. Micki is upset and warns Walker to not go into full "Duke" mode. Stella and Trevor pull up to an empty house. Trevor tells Stella that this used to be a house that they would go to when he was younger and he would swim in the lake. Stella wants to hear more stories and finally relax. Liam is meeting with a reporter from the Travis County Gazette Hoyt and Abeline come home, fairly intoxicated. Hoyt is rambling on about Liam to the reporter and embarrassing him. Abeline apologizes for Hoyt's behavior and Liam gives a "what were you thinking" look. Abeline and Hoyt are making sandwiches, and talking about how some things are better together. Abeline tells Hoyt that it is never too late to change for the better and that he just needs to show Geri this. Hoyt knows that Geri deserves more than he can give. Abeline gives Hoyt the engagement ring that she had from Marv Davidson who she broke things off after the night she met Bonham at the Driskill Hotel. Trevor is reaching for something in the chimney. The bag falls out and it is filled with money, guns and passports. Stella wants to know where they are going as Trevor wants to get out as far as he can with. Stella tells Trevor that she can't leave her family forever as things are finally in a good place. Trevor needs to move forward if he has a chance at a better life. He wants Stella to go with him but will understand if she can't. At the bank, a motorcycle pulls up. Walker and Micki think that this maybe someone collecting the contents. They both go inside the bank and realize that it is not the person they are seeking. Walker askes the teller to see the contents from a certain deposit box and both writes and recites the number from memory. Micki questions why this information was left out of the report when the Duke case was closed. Walker will put in the report now. The bank teller tells them that the owner was already at the bank to collect what was in the box and that they just missed him. She expressed that a message was left in the box pertaining to a scavenger hunt. The note inside also has the bandana that Duke used to wear on his wrist. Walker reads the message as does not know what Clint means or wants but may know the person who does know.
