'Big Sky' is back, after a two-month break. There's a lot to mull over and process still, beginning with Cassie Dewell's (Kylie Bunbury) fate, after she shot Rick Legarski (John Carroll-Lynch) in the head. It has been a breathless five episodes till now. In the first episode, the two girls Grace and Danielle were and kidnapped by Ronald Pergman (Brian Geraghty), along with Jerrie. They were taken to some creepy shed, far away, while the detectives Cody (Ryan Phillippe), Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury) and Jenny (Katheryn Winnick) tried to unravel the mystery. Except... Cody was shot dead by Legarski in the first episode, much to the shock of the fans, as the show had been marketed as a Ryan Phillippe project.

The girls did try to escape, but nothing came of it. We saw Grace (Jade Petty John) trying to escape from Ronald's misery dungeon out into the open. Just as we thought that everything would be okay as she met a good fisherman, who promises to help her, Legarski showed up at that same spot in the middle of the woods and shot him dead. Legarski took Grace back to the dungeons, after shooting her in the leg. He dumped her back in Ronald's creepy truck dungeon. However, in the finale, the girls were shifted from the dungeon, just as Cassie and Jenny burst in. They had put a tracker on Legarski's truck, but that doesn't seem to have made much difference. Legarski and Ronald are one step ahead. Cassie closes in on Legarski, but it is too late.

Legarski taunts Cassie, and she shoots him in the head, with the girls watching. Meanwhile, there are other strange things happening on the show. Ronald seems to have something going with Legarski's wife, and the two got rather close at a shady bar. It's the usual my-husband-doesn't-pay-attention-to-me-so-I-need-attention trope, and she even told Legarski this in not so many words. Well, what's going to happen to that equation, now that Legarski is safely out of the way? What's going to happen to Cassie?

'Big Sky' returns on January 26, Tuesday on ABC at 10 pm.
