No. Hold up. That's not fair!
Yeah, yeah, ♪
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh ♪
Whoo!
Ha, too slow, suckers.
- The Stetson is mine.
- Okay, what's going on here?
Did you run track in high school
or something?
Are you accusing me of being
some sort of ringer, Walker?
I'm accusing you of being fast.
'Cause I was on Mathletes.
Dad, you should really start
focusing more on cardio.
Or you could just cut out the junk food.
All right, thanks.
TREY: Oh, so this is what we get
- for finally inviting you, huh?
- Mm-hmm.
AUGUST: Hey, Dad,
Captain James is inside,
says there's, like,
a seating chart emergency, so
All right, I'm on it.
Uh I got to shower.
- Yes, you do. (LAUGHS) Yeah.
- Nice run.
Ranger Barnett, a word.
Mrs. Walker, those for me?
You wish. I promised Kelly
a spectacular wedding bouquet,
and I aim to please.
I'm also in charge
of RSVPs and catering.
Okay, so I s I-I see
where you're going with this.
I bet you do.
- His wedding is tomorrow.
- I know, I know.
And pretty much everyone
is bringing a plus-one.
Well, except for Cassie,
but she's got a pass
since her last boyfriend
turned out to be a homicidal anarchist.
(TREY EXHALES)
Well, I was planning to ask Lana,
the woman that I met when I was
undercover with those
homicidal anarchists.
But bringing her to Cap's wedding is
obviously a horrible idea.
I mean, the optics
of that alone, it's just
- Right, optics.
- Yeah.
Look, Trey, okay,
you're basically family,
so I am just gonna
come straight out with it:
You have had a tough year.
I've seen it, and so has everyone else,
but I've also seen how well
you've handled everything,
and how much good
you're doing as a Ranger.
But, at some point, you have
to do good for yourself.
You deserve to be happy.
And you deserve someone
who makes you happy.
- Okay. Oh, my gosh, you won.
- Mm-hmm.
- You better get up and help me.
- (LAUGHTER)
WALKER: That finishes off six.
Yeah, I know, I'm fine with table six.
I'm talking about seven.
You put my cousin Janet
at the same table as my Aunt Lisi.
- There will be blood.
- Okay. Not a problem.
- Boys.
- Hi.
Sorry to interrupt this
musical chairs, but work stuff.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, we all agreed no work stuff
until after the wedding.
I know, I know, but I just
got a call from the FBI.
Tessa Graves.
Okay.
Don't tell me the case against
Grey Flag is falling apart.
Their case is in great shape, actually.
And Tessa said that
us taking down Kevin
had a lot to do with that.
Anyway, she's putting together
a Joint Task Force
to go after a fentanyl ring
back east, and they need
folks with experience working
big, complicated cases, like us.
JAMES: Hold up,
you're telling me the FBI
is trying to poach my two best Rangers
without even calling me first?
That's what you're telling me?
Relax, Cap. It's not poaching.
It's an eight-week operation.
July and August.
So, if we did it,
we'd be back by September.
Okay. What'd you tell her?
That I was flattered,
but I would need time to mull
and speak to you, obviously.
Uh, same here.
Flattered, very flattered.
Honestly, right now, before making
any major life decisions,
I feel like I got to do
some work on the seating chart,
- so Excuse me.
- Yes. Yes. - (CHUCKLES)
- Hey, get Janet away from Lisi.
- I know.
- Like opposite ends of the room.
- Okay, I got it.
- Facing opposite directions.
- I got it. I'm on it.
(CHUCKLES)
Cass.
You can be straight with me.
Is this something you want?
It's a great opportunity,
but Austin
finally feels like home.
And I'm not sure I want
to spend my summer
chasing drug dealers
in the Everglades with the FBI.
Understood. But, hey,
for what it's worth,
you would be perfect for it.
Not that I want to lose you,
not even for eight weeks, but
(CHUCKLES)
Seriously, career-wise,
it could be a really good thing.
Thanks, Cap.
All right.
All right.
All right, Augie, where we at
with the bubble machine?
Uh, what bubble machine?
The one I asked you to rent
for the ceremony.
Dad, we do not need bubbles.
WALKER: Yes, we do, Stella.
They'll be festive. Look,
I promised Kelly everything
would be perfect on the day.
Why is everyone ignoring my vision?
LIAM: Cordi, chill.
Okay, we're doing our best.
Everything's gonna work out just fine.
Okay, I think your brother is just
worried that the old Walker curse
is gonna ruin all our fun.
Oh, there's no such thing
as a Walker curse.
Uh, I could make a case.
Remember Serrano
and the surveillance cameras?
WALKER: Okay, we could
also make a list of all
the amazing things that
have happened at Walker Ranch,
including, but not limited to,
Captain James' wedding.
Uh, quick question, has anyone
checked the weather lately?
They're expecting freezing rain tonight
and possible flash floods tomorrow.
WALKER: You're kidding.
You're not kidding. She's not kidding.
Okay, okay. Time to pivot, people. Uh,
- ideas?
- BONHAM: Yep.
- Postpone it a week.
- WALKER: We can't.
James and Kelly leave the next morning
for their honeymoon,
same as you and Mama.
- Oh.
- LIAM: I-I have an idea.
Why don't we go check out
the old hay barn
that's next to the covered arena?
Okay, Liam, I don't have time for that.
Okay, fine, we will go and check.
That place seems pretty idyllic
for a wedding.
(LAUGHS)
Well (SIGHS)
"Idyllic" is one way to describe it.
♪
Okay, well
what about The Side Step?
Can we fit everybody in there?
Not without cutting the guest list.
Look, I know this is gonna sound insane,
but we're just gonna
have to make this work.
Well, I guess I could get the backhoe
and move all the junk to out back.
Hm. Better idea is move it
- straight into a dumpster.
- Mm.
You know, we could repair these beams
and hang some lights from them,
maybe a disco ball.
And we have leftover lumber
from the rescue stables,
- plenty of tools
- BONHAM: Yeah, well, now
you're talking about
construction. What about a crew?
Well, I've got the day off
and plenty of experience
with catered gigs,
so put me to work, Coach.
And not to brag,
but I did get a B-minus
in shop class, so
ABELINE: Well, I suppose I could ask
a couple of the ranch hands for help.
LIAM: And Jim from DeMarco's,
the feed store he owes me a favor.
I thought he wanted to murder you.
He had a little legal dispute
with a local vendor
that I might've helped him
out with, so now, he loves me.
And I can text Ben.
He has plenty of experience
working big events.
This is gonna be great.
Hey, teamwork makes the dream work.
Oh, my God, that is so cheesy.
(LAUGHTER)
WALKER: How you doing over there, kiddo?
- Good.
- WALKER: Okay, let me see it.
(CLEARS THROAT) Ah, let me, uh
All right.
- Look at that.
- (CHUCKLES) Thanks, Dad.
- How do I look?
- Not too bad, buddy.
Not bad at all.
I mean, you know, w-we can't have you
showing up your old man, so
let me just do a little something.
- Hey, hey.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
- This took a while.
- All right. Let's get changed.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(EXHALES) Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?
- Uh
Remember how you said that,
like, if I needed to talk ?
Yeah. What's up?
You know, I'm gonna be
a senior next year,
- and I've been
- Yeah.
really thinking about my future.
Yeah, I bet. Sure.
And I actually might know
what I, what I want to do.
Ah, okay, okay. Let me guess,
you want to pursue music?
I want to enlist in the army.
I know the military isn't exactly
what you and mom had in mind for me,
and, to be honest, I never
thought I'd be interested
in it, either, but, like
this year just kind of
changed that, you know?
(GRUNTS)
(SIGHS) Look, Dad,
I've been flailing, all right?
I-I've been looking
for direction
and just a sense of purpose.
And you feel like
the military will give you that?
Yeah, like what the Marines did for you.
- That was different.
- How?
It
It just was.
Well, Gramps thinks it's a good idea.
Y-You talked to my daddy
before you came to me?
I-I e-mailed the recruiter,
and he said I could start early.
Like summer, if I really wanted to.
Augie
you're only 17.
Yeah, I need your consent.
Well
Uh
Wait. You know,
I-I'm gonna need some time
to think about this.
To-to really
think about it, you know?
(SIGHS)
But I promise you
I'll keep an open mind.
- Okay.
- STELLA: Guys, food's ready.
I wasn't planning on
bringing this up today,
on account of the wedding and all,
but it sort of feels like
the perfect moment, so
I decided to start college in the fall.
No. Yes.
Seriously?
- Stella Blue, that's amazing.
- (STELLA CHUCKLES)
I'm-I'm proud of you.
Wait, what about working
at the horse rescue?
Oh, I can do both. I already
talked to Uncle Liam about it,
and it won't be a problem.
- That's cool, Stel.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I was,
I was, I was just getting used to
having you around.
Kind of sucks that you're, uh,
leaving for Sauber soon, you know?
I guess I sort of buried the lede there.
I'm sorry. I'm not moving
to Oregon State.
- I enrolled at UCAS.
- No way.
Wait, so you're, like,
you're staying in Austin?
Yeah. I'm gonna get a place
downtown with Colton
- when he's back from Vegas.
- WALKER: Wow.
Can both of y'all just stop
growing up so freaking fast?
- Please? Thank you. Uh
- (PHONE RINGING AND BUZZING)
Sorry.
Uh W-W-Work thing.
I-I got to take it,
but don't go anywhere.
Uh, all right, sorry. (CLEARS THROAT)
This is Ranger Walker.
Cordell.
Detective Luna, Corpus Christi P.D.
- WALKER (OVER PHONE): Hey.
- It's been a minute.
David, yeah, it's-it's been years.
Listen, I'm calling with some news.
Hollis Miller just died.
I see. Um
I'm sorry to
hear that. (SIGHS)
What was his, uh, cause of death?
He, uh, passed in his sleep.
He In his sleep?
Kind of young guy
to just die in his sleep.
Medical examiner did a full autopsy,
all right? Says natural causes.
Were his insulin levels normal?
Yeah.
Look, I see where you're going
with this, Walker.
Believe me.
I'm happy to say
his insulin levels were normal.
Okay.
Okay. Uh, well, um
Did they check for trace amounts
of digoxin?
No, because that's not part
of the standard post-mortem,
you know that.
Yeah, okay, I-I need you
to ask your ME to do that.
Detective,
it's a simple test.
Man, I called you as a courtesy.
I don't want to go back
in time here, Walker.
And I can't let you.
Emily would kill me.
Emily passed.
Damn, I'm sorry.
Yeah, no. Me, too. Thank you. Um
I
One test, as a favor.
All right, Jim, coming down.
Yeah, you got it.
Good job. Take it easy.
That beam should work out just fine.
(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
So, this FBI thing
- You'd be gone for how long?
- CASSIE: (SIGHS) Eight weeks.
So, it's kind of like
summer camp, but with guns
- and drug dealers.
- (CHUCKLES)
And an opportunity to take
your career to the next level.
So you think I should do it?
Just don't stay away forever.
Oh. Needed that.
Wait, what do you mean
you didn't get an invite?
SADIE: Oh, it's fine.
I'm not really offended.
I don't really know
this Captain James guy.
AUGUST: We still want you there.
You know, it'll be fun,
and you're already helping out, so
Be my plus one.
Colton's out of town, and
I insist, so you really
don't have a choice.
Well, if you insist.
Stella, can I talk to you
for a second? Thanks.
Listen, I was planning on asking
Sadie to be my plus one.
Oh, Augie, please.
You're, like, still a child.
- You don't get a plus one.
- ABELINE: Stella Blue,
I need a fresh set of eyes
on this and be honest.
- Too many peonies?
- STELLA: Mawline,
can you ever have too many
peonies? It's perfect.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
'Cause I still feel like
it needs something.
What about this?
Oh, blue for luck.
Well, now, see,
what could possibly go wrong?
♪
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
Liam checked with Kelly,
and she thinks it might be nice
to do the whole ceremony "in the round".
Genius. Great. Let's do that.
Okay, so then if we've got these two,
and if we
- Hey.
- Hey.
You drove all the way to my house to ask
for my expert opinion
on seating charts,
although I am admittedly
no expert.
You're barely paying attention.
Uh Yeah.
Y-Yeah, yeah.
Sorry. My-my mind has kind of
been all over the place. Um Okay.
- (GRUNTS)
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Can I ask you a question?
Yeah, yeah. What's up?
Okay, uh,
didn't you just help bring down a
an evil, terrorist crime syndicate?
I-If you're referring to Grey Flag,
uh, then yes, ma'am.
Yeah, yeah, it's been, uh,
it's been quite the year.
So why is wedding planning
suddenly the thing that's
pushing you over the edge?
It's-it's my best friend's wedding.
I want everything to be perfect.
- Okay. All right.
- Yeah.
I mean, maybe that's-that's
part of it, but
You know, weddings,
they-they do dredge up all kinds of
I don't know. I guess
what I'm trying to say
is that
this is gonna be the first
wedding that I've been to
in
a really long time.
- Since Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Same.

Please take your seats.
Uh, welcome. Uh
- (FEEDBACK SQUEALS)
- I don't think I need this.
Okay, uh
First off, I want to thank
all y'all for being here
and being a part of Kelly
and Larry's epic love story.
You know, hard to believe
that, just about 24 hours ago,
we were planning
on doing this thing outside.
But by some miracle and some hard work,
uh, we were able to turn
this old barn into a chapel
slash disco.
- (LAUGHTER)
- KELLY: Thank you guys.
Thank you for that. Thank you.
WALKER: So, as I researched what exactly
was required of a wedding officiant,
it-it became clear to me that,
honestly, uh, not very much.
- (LAUGHTER)
- WALKER: Which is
why I think
Larry trusted me with it.
That's true, that's true.
- WALKER: Okay. (LAUGHS)
- (LAUGHTER)
My initial plan was to just
kind of stand up here
and wax poetic about
my best friend Larry
and the love of his life, Kelly,
and how the two came together again,
they found each other again. They found
love again.
How inspiring it was for me,
for all of us to watch. Um,
on a personal note,
I-I've known this man for
a heck of a long time. (LAUGHS)
- Long time.
- Uh, we started out
as partners when I first
joined the Rangers
and ended up becoming, uh, brothers.
Frankly, Kelly,
I can see why you have a difficult time
keeping away from this guy.
(LAUGHTER)
WALKER: Right, yeah. Uh,
Captain here has asked me
to keep things brief.
- Too late.
- (LAUGHTER)
All right.
Let's cut to the chase, then.
(EXHALES)
All right, here goes.
Larry Samuel James,
do you take Kelly Dana
James, uh
(LAUGHTER)
as your lawfully wedded wife,
to have and to hold,
through sickness and in health, again?
I most certainly do.
WALKER: Kelly Dana James, do you
take Larry Samuel James
as your lawfully wedded husband,
to have and to hold,
through sickness and in health,
again?
Heck yeah, I do.
(LAUGHTER)
WALKER: Well, then,
with the powers vested in by the

pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.

actually used to basically
attack the bride

Until, at some point, she was just like,
"You know what, take these flowers
and please stop shredding my dress".
And you know this because
your mom was a librarian?

really need to start questioning more.

Maybe that's why our fight and
everything after Grey Flag,

You're growing.

I bet you do.

And pretty much everyone
is bringing a plus-one.
Well, except for Cassie,

since her last boyfriend
turned out to be a homicidal anarchist.

- Yeah.
Look, Trey, okay,
you're basically family,
so I am just gonna
come straight out with it:
You have had a tough year.
I've seen it, and so has everyone else,
but I've also seen how well
you've handled everything,
and how much good
you're doing as a Ranger.
But, at some point, you have
to do good for yourself.
You deserve to be happy.
And you deserve someone
who makes you happy.
- Okay. Oh, my gosh, you won.

- Okay. Not a problem.
- Boys.
- Hi.
Sorry to interrupt this
musical chairs, but work stuff.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, we all agreed no work stuff
until after the wedding.
I know, I know, but I just
got a call from the FBI.
Tessa Graves.
Okay.
Don't tell me the case against
Grey Flag is falling apart.
Their case is in great shape, actually.
And Tessa said that
us taking down Kevin
had a lot to do with that.
Anyway, she's putting together
a Joint Task Force
to go after a fentanyl ring
back east, and they need
folks with experience working
big, complicated cases, like us.
JAMES: Hold up,
you're telling me the FBI
is trying to poach my two best Rangers
without even calling me first?
That's what you're telling me?
Relax, Cap. It's not poaching.
It's an eight-week operation.
July and August.
So, if we did it,
we'd be back by September.
Okay. What'd you tell her?
That I was flattered,
but I would need time to mull
and speak to you, obviously.
Uh, same here.
Flattered, very flattered.
Honestly, right now, before making
any major life decisions,
I feel like I got to do
some work on the seating chart,
- so Excuse me.
- Yes. Yes. - (CHUCKLES)
- Hey, get Janet away from Lisi.

would be perfect on the day.

You're not kidding. She's not kidding.

Why don't we go check out

Yeah. Yeah, I pulled it off.

I got a call from Detective Luna.

Hollis Miller died,

You know what that case did to
me and Kelly. There is no way
I know, and I-I wouldn't
have even brought it up,

that I-I just want to be
completely transparent
with you, especially after
these past few months.
