Eli’s workers are attacked by thieves. Eli visits Arturo Garcia, suspecting that the thieves might have passed through his land to reach the ranch. Arturo denies any involvement, suggesting that Eli suspects him only because he is Mexican. Eli’s suspicions instead stem from Arturo being one of the biggest ranchers in town, which makes him eager to disadvantage his competitors. Eli leads a party to assassinate Arturo. Pedro inherits the Garcia estate one year later.
Thomas comes out as gay to his Houston friends. When Thomas is disappointed by the lukewarm reception, Jeannie wonders if it is her fault that he craves validation. She compensates by offering to help each of her remaining children to start their own business endeavors. They decline, confused about her intentions.
Susan asks to move her two sons, Ash and Dell, to Texas after her boyfriend abandons her. Jeannie happily accepts and dotes on her grandsons, promising them the ranch as an inheritance, but is disappointed when neither of her grandsons seems particularly suited for ranch life. She considers telling them about Eli’s frontier exploits to elicit their interest.
