Serious questions here. In the first episode of 'Big Sky', Cody Hoyt (Ryan Phillippe) was shot in the head by Rick Legarski (John Carroll-Lynch, as he found out who was responsible for abducting the girls. Legarski and his accomplice Ronald Pergman (Brian Geraghty) had taken Jerrie, Grace and Danielle to a shady truck in the middle of the woods. After a wild goose chase, Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury) and Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick) found their prison, but Legarski had already moved them from there. However, Cassie didn't give up and closed in on Legarski. After some taunting words from him, she shot him in the head. Yet, he's alive.

In Episode 6, Cody's body has just been discovered. Fans are not quite able to understand this. "Rick still being alive after getting shot in the head but not Cody...doesn’t sit right with me  #BigSky," a fan tweeted. "How was this guy even alive after getting shot in the head #BigSky," another wrote. "This dude was shot point blank in the head and survived. Meanwhile Cody was also shot point blank and is dead. #BigSky," one asked. "Hold up, hold up... Legarski was still alive? Bitch, she should’ve shot him TWICE. 3 TIMES. #BigSky #BigSkyABC," another questioned. Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with an investigation at work, as she shot Legarski even though he hadn't attacked her as yet. "“It was either him or me. I shot him. Deal with it. I have to,” says a civilian, who just shot someone in the head, to the sheriff investigating the incident. Jesus, the dialogue is dumb sometimes on #BigSky," a fan wrote. "Justice for Cody, man. He didn’t have to go out like that. #BigSky," one tweeted. Though to be honest, even if there was a chance that Cody could have survived that gunshot, let's not forget that he was buried alive, something fans have missed out.
