Sheriff Country Recap:
Boone was married. He kept that to himself for the past two years. He rode with Mickey for two years and she never knew he was married and/or separated. Nora was a pediatric nurse. She stayed in Oakland. Even as Boone moved to Edgewater to continue his career. He was now going back to Oakland to be with her. Mickey didn’t know the story behind them. She also wasn’t the last one to know.
Boone hadn’t shared with anyone that he was married. He kept that to himself. He was more private than Mickey was. And they were throwing a goodbye party for him at Mickey’s house because it’s the best place to throw it.
Everyone else’s place was too small. They just didn’t tell Mickey about it until the day of the party. Mickey suddenly had to play host and on top of that she caught a murder case. She was investigating the murder of a beloved town staple.
His name was Bill Wambach. He was friends with everyone. He was even friends with Wes. Wes was devastated when he heard about Bill.
He drove straight to the scene and he yelled at the onlookers for taking photos of his corpse. He demanded that they show his friend some respect.
Bill was the man that showed Wes’s daughters how to bait and clean their trout. He cleared his field when Skye’s soccer team got flooded out of their practice area. He was Edgewater. He supposedly didn’t have an enemy in the world. Only that wasn’t true.
There were people that made an offer for his ranch. He turned it down. He refused to sell because he never wanted to leave Edgewater.
The offer was merely the start. It was followed by threatening calls in the middle of the night. Their shed burned down. Bill and his wife weren’t alone in receiving these types of threats.
Some have had bullets left in their mailbox. They’ve all received offers followed by threats. They thought it was the cartel. Mickey didn’t think that the cartel would be interested in places like their town.
It also doesn’t help that no one reported these threats to the authorities. They tried to deal with it on their own. Wes hasn’t been contacted so far and he said it was bound to happen soon.
He also mentioned that he’d be waiting for them if they tried to pull the same stunts as they did with everyone else.
Someone was buying up property from the ranches all the way to the illegal grows in Deadwater. It was a matter of time before they pushed everyone out. It’s why Bill’s wife wanted to take the offer. Bernice and Bill have been arguing about it a lot lately. Bernice couldn’t wait to sell. She wanted to retire in style.
It was Bill that refused to move. Now, Bill was dead. He was shot four times in the back execution style. His wife didn’t waste a minute before listing the property. She apparently had it in the works from before her husband died.
The sheriff office didn’t know she listed the property secretly three weeks ago. They first pursued the cartel angle. There were a bunch of Bulgarians in town and they were buying up properties. Wes went to go speak with them. He was supposed to wear a wire.
Which he ditched the first chance he could. He knew those men were going to search him. He went in alone and he found out that the Bulgarians weren’t interested in Bill’s property. It wasn’t the type of the land they wanted. And so all Wes got for his troubles was a beatdown.
The Bulgarians were a dead-end. They weren’t behind the threats towards Bill and Bernice. It was when they ran out of that leads that Boone went back to the Bernice angle. He looked into it. He found out about her secretly putting the property up for sale.
He also thought it was a little fast that she now has openly on the market barely a day after her husband died. Mickey hadn’t wanted to pursue the angle because Bernice was a family friend, but she had to after what Boone found. They went there and they found that someone had broken into the Wambachs’ home.
Whoever it was had spray-painted a demand for them to sell. Bernice hid in the closet when the person broke in. She couldn’t reach her phone and so she grabbed her husband’s shotgun. She was sick of all the threatening messages. She just wanted peace.
She wanted to sell like Irv did. Irving McCall was the Wambachs’ neighbor as well as friend. He was so close to Bill that Bill allowed him to use their aquifer whenever he needed it. Irv’s property was dry like a bone. He needed water running from the Wambach property to grow anything on his own.
Mickey had asked her office to check out the water rights agreement. If Irv sold his property, he’d have to negotiate for the water rights. There was a written agreement in place and it was forged because Irv thought Bill’s legal name was William.
It was actually Wilfred. Irv was caught in a lie so Mickey called her dad to find out if he had seen Irv and he was looking right at him because they were having lunch. Irv suspected something was off. He knocked out Wes and he went back to the riverbank where he dumped Bill’s body.
Irv had taken Wes’s gun after he knocked out. He eventually killed himself after he confessed to the murder. He was broke and so he killed a friend of forty years just so he could forge his signature. He just wasn’t behind the threats. He was already with Wes when someone broke into Bernice’s house.
He wasn’t threatening the neighbors either. It also wasn’t the Bulgarians because no way would they waste money to buy two track of land just hoping to buy something fertile. Someone was still threatening the town and Mickey had to keep investigating to find them.
Mickey even got the lowdown of Boone’s marriage. He married his late partner’s widow. The guy had a drinking problem that they both tried to help him with and nothing worked until he died. They got married as a reassurance. Not as some grand love story.
It was a friendship sort of love. It’s also why Boone chose to stay in Edgewater rather than go back to Oakland. There was nothing in Oakland while Edgewater was where he had friends. Mickey hadn’t held it against him that he came back and the two were soon gossiping about Cass breaking up with Travis.
THE END!
