Synopsis

Walker is sitting at a picnic table, listening to a police scanner and reviewing vendors for the Side Step. Liam comes over and sits with Walker. Liam admits that he is worried about his brother and Walker tells Liam he is worried about him. Liam just wants to make sure that Walker is taking care of himself and that he is serious about taking a break from being a Ranger. Walker tries to tell him that he is listening to a baseball game but Liam sees right through it. Liam gives Walker a rubix cube and tells him that he can focus for one whole day on something else other than a police case then he will apologize. Walker accepts. Walker is at the Side step fumbling around with the cube and Micki walks in and jokes how empty it is. Walker wonders why Micki is there and is seeing if she needs help with a case but all she wants is breakfast. They talk about how Trey is still out of town, as he is visiting his mother and that as much as she misses him navigating mothers is something she does not want to do. They start talking about Micki and her mother Mercedes and how Micki is not ready to forgive her but did reach out to her and left a message. As she is talking, Mercedes shows up and Micki is stunned. They share in an awkward family reunion and Walker suggests that he will make some coffee. Mercedes is apologizing for everything and Micki does not want to here it. Mercedes explains the expression "Four Stones in hand" meaning that you are preparing for an attack even though you are not threatened. Mercedes explains that she was trying to look for her and thought that she found her but it ended up not being her daughter and was scammed. Micki tells Mercedes that she is not the person to help. Micki walks away and tells Walker to not get involved. August and Stella are walking to school. Stella tells August that if he ever wants to talk about it and he tells her not. August and Stella are surrounded by fellow students wanting to know everything. August is called "brave" and he likes that. Walker is throwing out garbage and sees Mercedes in the car crying. Walker tells himself to not get involved but he does anyway. He asks her if she is okay and that he is a "concerned" citizen and would like to know more information. Mercedes and Walker are having coffee as she is telling him about the person that scammed her. They only communicated through letters. This person called themselves "Nina Ruiz". Mercedes was conned out of money and never heard from them again. Mercedes fell off the wagon, burned the letters and didn't tell the cops. Walker decides to take this case as a personal favor(aka quest) and that this what they will tell Micki when she askes. Walker gets the address of this so called person's house in Austin. Walker is scoping the place out and is about to climb the gate, when two officers stop him. Walker recognizes one of them but to no avail, Walker is under arrest for trespassing.
