'Big Sky' Episode 7: Has Rick Legarski really lost his memory? Fans convinced he's 'faking it' to avoid charges

Rick Legarski seems to have lost his memory after Cassie shoots him in the head, but fans are not buying it

The big bad wolf has woken up and he has no memory of almost eating the sheep. Two episodes ago, Rick Legarski (John Carroll-Lynch) was shot in the head by Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury). After several episodes of trying to track down missing girls Grace and Danielle and trying to find out what happened to her ex Cody Hoyt (Ryan Phillippe), Cassie burst in on Legarski's new hiding place.

After several taunts, she shoots him in the head and is now facing an inquiry at work. However, her efforts were in vain, as Legarski is awake and apparently is suffering from memory loss. He doesn't seem to recount having a trafficking ring, as his wife tells him the ugly story. Of course, this is Legarski, and he is most likely faking it.

Fans seem to echo this sentiment as well and are really terrified of what he will do next. "This guy is going to act like he isn’t a killer & sex trafficker? #BigSky," a fan tweeted. "Now this dude is faking memory loss. He trying to get out of it. #bigsky," another wrote. "Oh hell nah Rick tryna act like his fatass forgot his memory  
#bigsky," a fan tweeted. "This mf is ACTING his heart out to get outta them charges #BigSky," one fan tweeted.

Meanwhile, Cody is dead for sure and will now only appear in flashbacks, much to the sorrow of fans. When Carroll-Lynch had been questioned about Legarski's fate, he had remained vague. In an interview with TV Insider, Carroll-Lynch confirmed that Rick was indeed dead. "Rick is dead. ... We'll find out whether or not Rick is dead. Certainly, in the circumstances, one would think so," he said.

Did Rick goad Cassie into killing him? "The writers and I have differences in opinion in regards to what he was doing. Whether or not Cassie is capable of firing that gun is something they've had discussions about before. She's assured him she was, but he has been led to believe by the people he's checked in about her with that she bailed at the academy for a reason. We may find out," added Lynch.

'Big Sky' airs on Tuesdays at 10 pm on ABC.
